Pluspoint is a Singaporean dance group that has been around since June 2012.

Founded by Ms Milah, more commonly known as "Mel", a mom of seven who's herself had a storied past that is in equal parts deeply painful and inspiring, the group has gone from strength to strength over the years, and is now renowned among our Indian community.

Apart from sending the group to participate in dance competitions from time to time, Milah offers her dancers who are in need or who have troubled family circumstances shelter in her one-room flat, whenever they need it.

But we digress. Last year, the group participated in a dance competition and put up a traditional Hindu-inspired performance, featuring six of the male dancers dressed as Aghori, an extreme sect of Hindu practitioners who are often associated with cannibalism and rituals using human skulls and animal sacrifices.

Here's a video of their performance:

The group danced to a devotional Shivan song called "Shiva Shiva Shankara", which, as it turns out, is the late Ganesan s/o Ponniah's favourite song.

Fulfilling dad's last wish

His eldest daughter Shanthini knew this, too, and also knew he loved dance.

Hence, she decided to do something unorthodox for her father's funeral — she got three members of Pluspoint to restage this dance item to accompany his funeral procession.

And dance they did — Ganesan's funeral took place on Tuesday, May 2, at about 4:30pm, and the three boys did makeup, put on their costumes in a stairwell at a nearby HDB block, and put on a regal performance, moving together with Ganesan's hearse.

Their dancing was recorded in a video that was picked up and republished on a Malaysian Facebook page called PublicNews:
