Swing Dance Flash Mob

Project for IN374: Gender & Performance Studies
Spring 2008, Emerson College



"Meet in front of the state house at 12:15 on Monday March 3, 2008.

When you hear the music grab a partner and begin swing dancing or something close to it. The "swing dancing" that generally happens when the brian setzer orchestra or cherry poppin daddies comes on at weddings, bat mitzvahs, retirement parties etc is acceptable.

Either partner can lead. Or you can switch it up. Whatever tickles your fancy.

The only request is that you incorporate as many gendered moves into your dancing as you can.

Ex. the dip, the lift, the spin out, the twirl under, etc.

When the music stops, stop dancing and leave as though nothing happened.

If you forget these directions or want to tell someone else
give them this number

206-279-1756

you will hear a message with time, location and exact directions as to what you should be doing. "

[MusicalOxygen]

I get the concept. Too bad at least half of the people here aren't actually swing dancing. Still, very funny concept. Nicely done.
