During the heat of the summer, in the depths of Skype, a private room was born. One girl had a dream – a dream to FLASH! Flash Mob that is. She wrangled some crazy friends. They too had a dream and that dream was about to become a reality.
Many of hours were spent conspiring, scheming, discussing and dreaming. Others were added, videos analyzed, songs debated – OH were they debated!
What song are we going to dance too? What hasn’t been done before? What song will be easy to dance too? How many BPM (beats per minute) are in that song again???

Fast forward to October and a secret meeting of the minds. Here the dance was learned. Here the dance became a reality. There were giggles – oh were there giggles! There were nervous tummies – “oh my gosh we are really going to do this!” There was cake and PMS crunch – Oh how I love Sarah and Jana. Thank you!! Mad flip videos were made and remade and remade again. We left that weekend with a purpose. We left that weekend ready to dance.
Next job; find peeps that can keep a secret and want to dance. Oh! And of course, they have to be going to Blissdom. You are now entering – the “Tricky Zone”. This is where it could all come unraveled; this is where our whole secret could be blown wide open. All our hours of hard work could be blown by one loose-lipped blogger. Decisions, decisions.
Bloggers were discussed, secret emails sent, a private Facebook page created. All the while, the Skype room secretly lived on. The thought of posting something in another Skype room constantly loomed. Trying to remember who was all involved became a daunting task.
But all the hard work, time and energy was well worth it. And I am sure I can speak for everyone that was involved, it was AMAZING! I can now proudly check off that task from my Bucket List with a smile and I know that on that day, I brought the funk!

My heart is so full.
THIS was so amazing.
My loves. my friends. the memories
Love reading the story behind that flashmob. I was there, up front watching, and it was AMAZING. Inspiring, exciting, fascinating, confusing (when we didn’t realize what was going on), and thrilling. Made me incredibly proud to be part of such a community! Awesome job!
are we seriously in rows there? like we know what we are doing?
i can’t think of 90+ people I would rather share this experience with than all you guys.
I love getting the backstory!!! thank you for telling it!
It was TOO fun! I even find myself breaking into the dance at random moments throughout the day.
Thanks for telling our story, baby doll. I never in a million years would have thought that my goofy little idea would have come together! We must have had a great team of people on it
It was incredible incredible incredible.
So wheres the link? Someone had to have recorded it.
So glad I FLASHED!
We done good! We done REALLY good! I think this is one of the very best things I’ve ever been involved with. And I’m so glad to have shared it with my BFOTIs!!
one of the best moments of my life~
