Swing Dance FlashMob - 2014

Joanna Brotman's and Blake Pearson's Seventh and Eighth Grade dance students broke into a Swing Dance Flash Mob in the style of the Harlem Renaissance during Playstreet in February! The FlashMob culminated the dancers' study of the complex rhythms and unique style of this period in dance history, in which dancers expressed their individuality in response to the vitality of the Jazz music of the time.
FlashMobs are organized, surprise performances that take place in public places, in which the performers, who have blended in, suddenly break into dance, song, or theatrical performance.

With choreography by international swing dance expert Nathan Bugh, this was a dance and musical celebration of Black History Month. Watch the video to see the FlashMob in action.
