FLASH MOBS

Flash Mob offers dance groups the incredible opportunity to join our show and perform live as one of our acts! Groups experience THE RIDE and then after, are escorted by our staff to perform a pre-rehearsed show for the following Ride.Our hosts will introduce the group to our patrons as the bus slows down for two minutes for the show. You provide the music file and we load it on our bus for the show. If it’s a singing group, we provide solo microphones. The best part about a Flash Mob is as you can imagine, your groups are not only performing for our bus, but literally hundreds of people in one of the most concentrated free walking tourist destinations in the world, Times Square!* (*Performance space based on availability and subject to change.)
