Stewart Allan is a songwriter and multi-instrumentalist from Aotearoa, New Zealand. From singing behind the Iron
Curtain, touring Japan and New Zealand as well as directing and writing music for stage and screen, he sings, plays
guitar, piano, and sitar. Stewart is signed to Rattle Records. ‘Shall We Dance’ is the first single from his forthcoming
album ‘9 Rooms’ Produced by Arli Liberman.
‘Shall We Dance’ has already got more than 100 people from around the world to dance together at a time when we have
never been further apart, Now it’s your turn to groove! After writing to more than 200 friends asking them to send in a
video of them dancing, Stewart Allan and filmmaker Sammy Riley have created a smile-inducing music video for ‘Shall We

Stewart’s joyous song is brought to life by a range of dance styles including flamenco, popping, bachata, and the NZ
finger point. With dancing currently prohibited in many countries around the world, and inspiration levels at an
all-time low, it has never been more important to ask,

The music video features 109 dancers aged from 8 months to 77 years old, busting moves in 14 countries across 6

mountain; a survivor of a near-fatal car crash in South Africa dancing on crutches; a popping group seeking a different
life in one of Colombia’s most violent cities; and dancing with the dead in a cemetery in the USA.
