Shania Twain tells jigging trio to Come on Over at Winnipeg show
Ivan Flett Memorial Dancers danced on stage for song Don’t be Stupid
On Tuesday night, a jigging trio from Sagkeeng First Nation went Up! on stage with Shania Twain in Winnipeg.
Twain was performing at the Canada Life Centre as part of her Queen of Me Tour.
Life was about to get good for Jacob Harris, Cienna Harris and Mikey Harris, also known as the Ivan Flett Memorial Dancers, when they reposted a video they made in 2020 of a hip-hop/jigging mixed dance in a puddle to the performer's hit, Don't be Stupid.
The siblings visited the QX104 radio station Tuesday morning to make it clear that she could change their world… if she would let them come up on stage with her and dance.
And Giddy Up, did they ever get a lot of support on social media with others tagging Twain to see the message.
Adding icing to the cake, it was the lead choreographer Mikey Harris's 24th birthday.
"When she was reading that little pink letter and she said, 'the Harris family,' I was like, 'no way, that's us,'" said Harris.
"I looked up and it was a picture of us on the big screen."
It was a party for two as Twain sang Harris Happy Birthday while holding his hand, as the other two siblings Cienna and Jacob made their way to the stage.
"It literally just felt like a dream," said Harris.
"I walked up on stage; I was escorted up and I just see this big crowd with flashing lights and then Shania Twain with her hand out to help [me] up the stairs."
