Today I had the fantastic opportunity of performing in a Flash Mob. I have always wanted to do one since I saw the first one on You Tube several years ago. For those of you who are not familiar, a Flash Mob is a group of people that blend in to an event as normal participators. They have all learned choreography and at some random point a person will start dancing. Slowly but surely more and more people join in until there is a big dance group performing in the middle of a train station, in the mall, at a company meeting, etc. It is much fun.
Today Channel 12 was having a company meeting at a McMenamins to look at what they had produced over the last year and to announce the upcoming line-up for fall. In the middle of a video they were showing there were "technical problems" as it was trying to be fixed "Walking on Sunshine" started playing over the speakers and one of the waiters started dancing. Then he went over and tried to get someone from the audience to join. She refused to get up and then finally she joined in and magically she knew the choreography. Then more waiters joined in and then the rest of us came in from different entrances and surrounded the room in a fun dance. I think they really enjoyed it. I know all the participants had a super fun time. My dear friend Erin Shannon choreographed the dance and she did a great job. What a fun day!
I am thankful to have been able to participate in the Flash Mob today.
