It has been described as pure joy, empowering of the spirit of community, and a mesmerising sea of red all swaying and moving in unison as Kate Bush's ethereal soprano fills the natural amphitheatre at King Edward Park.
It was the most Wuthering Heights Day ever. Again.
Dozens of the English singer-songwriter's fans met again at King Edward Park on Sunday, August 2, all dressed in a stunning red, to keep up the annual tradition of dancing like no one is watching.
Every move had a name - the 'serve the plates', 'slave to the master' (named for the lyric), 'zombie walk' and the acrobatic 'backwards pterodactyl'. Still, it wasn't about performing the choreography - the moves were there more as a guide than a strict rule. The point was to lose yourself in the dance.
The event that sees countless dancers embody Kate Bush frolicking on the moors in the cult classic film clip to her song Wuthering Heights began began in the UK around 2013. A flash mob sprang up at a fan culture event to celebrate and recreate the 1978 music video and within a few years, it had become a global phenomenon.
Dancers, who are collectively referred to as 'Kates', come together once a year, learn the dance together, and then re-create the film clip in a mass swirl and sway of red.
