The flash mob took place Causeway Bay's Fashion Walk at 8 o'clock in the evening. Eighty-two enthusiastic dancers - our heroes - danced to Rihanna's Rehab, creating history and wowing the audience. Even the police came - looking very confused as by the time they arrived the event was over and everyone had already dispersed back into the crowd. Well done everyone, and thank you for making the flash mob a reality! We even made the paper (SCMP)! |

The before and after, bits and pieces
The birth of an idea...In May 2012, a historical event took place in Perth, Australia. In the seemingly peaceful city centre music began to play. At the same time a couple started zouking in the middle of a big square, attracting groups of curious onlookers. A few minutes later, the dancing duo was joined by dozens of others who seemed to have emerged from the crowd. Soon everyone was moving in unison. Yes, it was a zouk flash mob, and it was huge, catching even CNN's attention.
A week later, "Zouk Bob" - as he is known on Facebook - started a group on the popular social media site, "International Zouk Flash Mob Day". He wanted to spread the fun to the rest of the world, and he succeeded. The group grew and grew and grew, and within days dedicated zoukers from all over the globe had joined and chimed in. "Which day should we do it on?" asked one. "Should we make up our own routine or follow the one they did in Perth?" asked another. The questions kept coming. The number of cities wanting to take part kept rising. An international flash mob event was looking like a real possibility, after all. |

Fast forward to today...More than 70 cities have confirmed that they will be participating in this unique event. Of course, Hong Kong is included. In fact, the response to Bob's quest has been so favourable it has now been decided that we will be attempting to break the Guinness Book of Records for the world's largest flash mob! Now *this* is an opportunity of a life time - how can you afford to miss out?
