"Flash Mob" Dancing in Melbourne - Sunday, 21st March

[Jitterbug]

Would you like to be part of our spontaneous “flash mob” rock & roll dance in the city on Sunday 21st March for a bit of fun and also to promote rock & roll dancing?

A “flash mob” dance occurs in public places when one person starts to dance and people who seem to be passing by randomly join in until there is a huge mob of people dancing. When the music stops they all walk off and continue on their way, so to the spectators it looks like a completely spontaneous public dance. Our plan is to dance to 1 or 2 songs at the following places and times:

1.45pm – Meet at “Southern Cross” Train station (Corner of Spencer & Collins Streets)

2 pm – First “Flash” dance at “Southern Cross” train station

2.15pm – Second “Flash” dance at “Southern Cross” train station at the bottom of the steps on Spencer Street opposite Bourke Street

2.45pm - Bourke Street mall on the corner of Elizabeth and Bourke Streets and outside the GPO. If it’s raining, we’ll give this one a miss and go to Flinders Street train station.

3pm - Federation Square corner (opposite St Paul’s Cathedral). If it’s raining we’ll also give this one a miss.

3.10pm - Flinders Street train station under the clocks for our final mob dance
Finish up with a drink at “Young & Jackson” across the road to celebrate our flash mob dancing. Straight 8’s are playing at the pub from 3-6 pm.

You & your dance partner should arrive at the Southern Cross train station by 1.45 pm, at the latest. For those without a dance partner, you may find another person to dance with on the day but no promises. Even if you are not dancing, you can always be a part of the cheering squad!
