Anna Haltrecht sent this note from Salt Spring:
The Salt Spring Lobby Dancers performed their FlashMob in two Salt Spring Ganges downtown locations; Salt Spring Coffee Company Café and the Saturday Market on Saturday April 30 in Honour of International Dance Day 2011. It was a hoot to dance in the small space of the café amongst the pleasantly surprised coffee drinkers.
In the Market, one of the dancers began to sing and play his guitar in the busker’s spot, and as he finished his song, the sound technician hit the start button and we danced to our recorded music. An audience member happened to have his camera with him and he put his video up on youtube.
Comments from dancers: “Thanks so much for this experience - I really enjoyed it!!! You are a great teacher!!”
I received another note from one of the dancers, a mother of a 10 year old girl who had joined the group. The mother joined after sitting and watching a couple of rehearsals. It seemed to make more sense to dance than remain sitting!
“Thank you for all your dance enthusiasm. I had never taken any dance class EVER and was initially intimidated. I am totally inspired now. Thank you for encouraging us to dance.”
We need to dance together to transform our lives, to be active and have fun while doing so. And thereby keep dance alive in our community. This project did just that!
