Dance Flashmobs

Dancing Without Borders is known for its flash mob performances for social good. We are passionate about harnessing the life force energy towards an embodied shared vision that speaks to the collective heart of the people. In a time when violence, economic inequality and environmental destruction prevail putting all living beings deeply at risk, people are craving a sense of purpose, connection and hope. The flashmobs Dancing Without Border catalyze are a visual declaration that is widely accessible, celebratory, and action oriented. It becomes a memorable opportunity to experience even more deeply the inter-connectivity that unites all beings, and embrace the power in our diversity. As we move with the rhythm of our bodies, invoke the fullness of our humanity and spirit, the shared experience then becomes deeply healing, liberating, celebratory and empowering.

Our work leverages the best of viral videos, accessible dance, collective participation and the “wow” factor of the unexpected intergenerational street performance.

How we work? 

  1. We partner with organizations or communities that have an important message or story to share through their people that resonates with our values.
  2. We support the creative and production development process.
  3. Our efforts are generally funded by our partners.

4 reasons why flash mobs are a powerful investment into activating our communities: 

A flash mob is a powerful, fun and creative way to invoke the trickster and poke at a dysfunctional system that we’re part of. It sends far and wide a message and a positive vision that is shared by millions of people who have been feeling stuck, oppressed and disempowered.

The fun component is at the core of what makes movements grow successfully towards a better world. Flash mobs are joyful and uplifting. They help everyone realize that they are not alone and they are not crazy. By literally ‘embodying’ the message participants become further activated and involved, which serves the long-term goal of building a commitment to create a thriving and sustainable future.

Dancing without Borders flash mobs are inclusive. They engage anyone who wants to participate. Young, elders, black, white, crippled or athletic. There’s a place for everyone to play, have fun and make a difference. Their power is in their simplicity. They capture the imagination by surprise, seeding hope for what’s possible – while building community.

They are inexpensive and create far-reaching ripples. Flash mobs leverage the power of social media as they spread like fire on YouTube. With a tiny budget, they can easily get hundreds of thousands of viewers. It’s a low cost way to share powerful and witty messages that are ripe for our time. Our first two flashmobs received 150,000 views in the first 7 days after the release.
