Flashmob

First, what is a flashmob?
flash mob  is a group of people who assemble suddenly in a public place, perform an unusual and seemingly pointless act for a brief time, then quickly disperse, often for the purposes of entertainment, satire, and artistic expression.

And that is what my Saturday consisted of! Yes, that's right I was a part of a flashmob.At my Dance school (http://studiodacademy.com.au/ ) our old dance teacher/principal for 13years left :(, which was horrible but we are blessed with a New principle and teacher who has had  experience with  Flashmobs so decided that we shall do one.

Over the past couple of month 30 dedicated dancers worked on flashmob in their weekly dance classes, each week working that little bit more harder to create the perfect performance.

On Wednesday 17th of April all 30 dancers ranging from the ages of 7-23 spend the day rehearsing and setting for, what would be the first studio D flashmob. From 10am-3pm that all was filled with setting postions, working with props and going over our dance over and over again. Although we had a lot of fun our muscles definitely felt the hard work we had be putting in. I went straight home and into a relaxing bath.

The Flashmob was scheduled for 12pm Saturday 20th April  but because we are in Australia and that means ofcourse that is the day the weather changes and it rains and I mean rains a lot, so at about 7am we all get a text message saying that  due to the wet weather the flashmob has been postponed. That was the most heart breaking news I had heard all school holidays. A couple of days later we all receive a message announcing  the flashmob is ready to roll on saturday!! And yes, that was the best news I had heard all holidays.

So this morning I rolled out off bed, had my morning coffee, breakfast of eggs and toast, and than if was time to get ready. I wore my beautiful but rather unpractical pair of sequence shorts, purple crop top and of course my studio shirt. And then I was off into  Pitt Street Mall, (well with a quick detour back home because I forgot my Pom poms).
Once we all met up at the Domain it was a quick rehearsal time, then down to the mall we went. Being a performance something had to go wrong, and well it didn't really go wrong just not to plan, there was another group wanting to do a performance at the same time, so we waited....

After waiting around for a good 20mins, trying not to draw attention to ourselves it was show time. I can't even remember how the performance went, as soon as I heard that music my mind turned off and my body just knew what to do. I think we all went alright, not the best but it was the first time we had done anything like this. During the break between performances one dancers had a bit of an accident and we all saw what she eat for breakfast, yep we had ourselves some a chuck up. But no worries just a little restaging and some newspaper and we were good to go.
The second time was alot better, we all knew what to expect and any problems from the first performance were all sorted out, I think Studio D did a great job and I am proud to be apart of that! :)

Till next time.
