Australia – Comparison site Finder has launched a global dance challenge in collaboration with Olympic breakdancer and viral sensation Rachael Gunn, better known as Raygun.
Encouraging individuals and groups to flaunt their skills, the Raygun Dance Challenge offers a prize pool of $15,000 AUD. The initiative aims to challenge people to strive to do better.
Using the Finder Beat song, solo or group participants need to create a dance video and post it online. The finalists’ videos will be posted on Finder’s social media channels, with the number of likes determining the winner.
The winner of the solo category will be awarded $5,000 AUD, while the group winner will be awarded $10,000 AUD.
Finder will accept video submissions until Nov. 12, while its announcement of winners will be on Nov. 22.
Raygun, who was ranked by the World DanceSport Federation as first in breakdancing, will be using her platform to support the initiative.
After scoring zero on her Paris Games performance, Raygun became viral after technicalities still landed her the top rank.
“After Paris, I had a few people wanting to challenge my moves. I am keen for people to have their chance,” Raygun said.
“Our mission is to get people to ask themselves if they can do better with their money. We’re pumped to see Rachael using her platform to inspire Aussies to do the same, whether they’re making moves on the dance floor or with their finances,” Fred Schebesta, founder of Finder, said.
