The good flash Mobs PRACTICE a lot … and then PRACTICE some more! They PREPARE. They have PATIENCE waiting for the right moment! (ie, don’t let too many people know what they are planning).
For DANCE flash Mobs, those participating in them need to learn the dance steps and often someone has to be the choreographer of the whole thing. Take a look at a playlist I made:
Today (June 13, 2024) it seemed to me that we could have an online Flash Mob (flash posts) on May 4 with the theme of the posts “May The Fourth Be With You) … yes, this is using the phrase spelled right and is not the altered phrase for Star Wars. I have collected some images that people can use to create their own posts to prepare for May 4 (but NOT to post them before May 3). See the resources here=> May The Fourth
And now … on to Waka Waka which is a good example of getting a message across via MANY people all doing the “same” thing so that it catches the eye of others. The OFFICIAL video is presented after the Flash Mob videos and then I present some tutorials to the dance moves!
If you want to join in … practice! Here is the practice video (with nearly 20 Million views)
