What is a Flash Mob?

According to website, David Charles Fox, flash mobs are gatherings of a certain number of people that takes place in a public space that happens seemingly mysteriously and lasts for ten minutes or perhaps less, with the intention of surprising, delighting, and sometimes confusing onlookers.

Flash mobs were particularly popular back in the 2000’s, with the very first one taking place in 2003 in New York.

In the instance of the Gautrain flash mob, one single dancer walked into the middle of a crowd and began showing off his dance moves to the song Uptown Funk by Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars. He was soon joined by one, two and more dancers, who synced up and put on a show. The dancers also shook their tail feathers to Michael Jackson’s Beat It, before finishing off strong with the undeniable South African hit Jerusalema.
