What we’re about

Hi Dancers!
We've just successfully completed our fourth flash mob performance on May 3rd with 24 dancers participating!

We hope that you'll be part of our future flash mob format line dance events!
For those who are new, first we learn easy to medium level, upbeat and inspirational line dances together, in practice sessions over a two month period. Then we perform the dances! A flash mob, for those who are unfamiliar with the concept, is a planned performance that appears to be spontaneous and therefore has a wonderful surprise element to it. Anyone who enjoys dance is welcome. The purpose of the event is to bring the community together through the joy of dance.
Please join the events that you can attend as they are posted so we can know the group size. Family and friends are welcome, just let us know how many.
We usually perform three dances in two locations in downtown Napa that are in walking distance of each other.
The next flash mob will be Saturday, October 11th, time and exact Napa location TBA. Please also reserve Sunday, October 19th as a back up date in the event of excessive heat.

The Practice Session dates will be announced in July and will take place in August, September and October. They are held in a Napa Community Room on specific Wednesday evenings at 6:00pm (message me directly for exact address.
There may also be a series of practices held in American Canyon and Concord (TBA) for dancers who live further away.
Find the dance list below with demos and tutorials of each of the three dances so you can begin practicing at home if you wish.
Feel free to message me with any questions!
Thanks!
