Flash Mob Performs at Preston Center, Snider Plaza

If you were walking through Preston Center Plaza Dec. 6 or Snider Plaza Dec. 7, you may have enjoyed a pop-up dance courtesy of a group ready to bring some holiday cheer to the areas.

With no advanced notice, the Dallas Dance Fitness performers showcased 25 dancers as well as five crew members working behind the scenes to bring the energized flash mob to the unexpected passersby by surprise.

Crowds gathered along the streets, many vehicles double-parking to watch the pom poms fly through the air; visitors peering over the upper parking garage levels watched and recorded video of the dance team performing their holiday dance.

The Flash Mob went on to pop up in many more locations across the city Dec 7, including Klyde Warren Park, AT&T Discovery District, and NorthPark Center.

Rumor has it, the women are pretty darn good at all types of dancing and may mix things up a bit depending on the location — and their enthusiasm has proved contagious to all those witnessing their high-energy performances.

Preston Hollow’s Courtenay Strey is one of the veterans eager to show the steps to anyone ready to learn some energetic dance moves, and she insists no prior dance experience is required.

Anyone interested in joining the dance class can contact Alana O’Connell at Dallas Dance Fitness for more information. Alana’s dance teams refer to her as the group’s class creator, talented choreographer, and dance guru.
