Dubai One – Out & About This Week

Want to be kept up-to-date on what’s happening in Dubai? Well what better place to get your weekly rundown of what’s in store for the week ahead than with Out & About This Week on Dubai One, the 24-hour free-to-air English language entertainment channel part of Dubai Media Incorporated (DMI).Last week (Aired 29 April) we learnt some new steps in time for World Dance Day. Layne showed us his moves on the dance floor as he found out about the Columbian dance sensation which hit The First Group Madinat Theatre, whilst Punam learnt a move or two at the latest hip hop dance troupe to takeover Dubai, The Nike Rockstar Workout. We also took rock to a new level at the kids’ rock challenge event running from 30 April to the 4 May. Then from jewellery and antiques to Art, we had an exclusive sneak peak behind the scenes of the famous Christies auction that was in town on the 28 and 29 April and met some kids with some zany ideas at the Car Art Festival at Festival City.This week (Airing 6 May) the sky is the limit as Layne takes part in a Vertical Marathon at The Emirates Towers to raise money for Medecins Sans Frontiers with support of the Red Crescent to coincide with Red Cross Day on 8 May, before joining Punam on the latest dining experience taking Dubai to new heights, the Sky Dinner. Punam and Layne enjoy a meal on a 50 foot high platform overlooking The Walk. Once Layne finds his feet he gets a new suit tailored just for him at the newly opened Logsdale where he is dressed like a gentleman just in time to visit the stage of the Would Be Gentlemen, a play running at the Dubai Community Theatre and Arts Centre on the 8 and 9 May. We will also have an exclusive interview with the musical group The Charlatans and Arab Superstar Ragheb Alama.Next Week (Airing 13 May) we are reading through our dictionaries in preparation for the Dubai Scrabble Tournament. Layne is in the spotlight as he has a photo session at the famous Stewart Williamson studios, meanwhile Punam visits Dubai in 1962, a new exhibition at the Dubai Community Theatre and Arts Centre which shows us how Dubai has changed in the last 50 years through photos. Punam also reminds us of the importance of recycling as she takes on the Emirates Environmental Group’s challenge to collect as many cans as she can by May 28 whilst Layne faces his own challenge with White Collar Boxing.For all this and more, join us on Out & About This Week on Dubai One, Wednesdays at 9.00pm.
