Flash Mob for Trevor Project

Today I participated in a Flash Mob for the Trevor Project at Universal City Walk. We spent 3 hours practicing in a field near the venue. All types of people, all ages, all ethnicity's, all enthusiastic. The process is amazing. You register on Flash Mob of America and they send you a confirmation with a video to teach you the dance. Then the day before they send you the location for the practice rehearsal. Still not knowing the venue I went to the field for practice. Amazing how well organized they are. We practiced as a group and then if you still were having trouble they helped you even more. We were dancing to "Ain't no mountain high enough" and then after we disperse there is a PSA on the Trevor Project, Talk to ME.
After three hours we are off to the outdoor venue. You walk around for an hour or so, eat something, check out your own entrance to the dance. All of a sudden the mall music changes to our song and we enter after the first 3 (from the organization) start. I entered via an escalator with two others. The song was 2.26 seconds and I probably was in for about 1:45 seconds because it took us a little time to go done the escalator. I put my special Trevor Tee Shirt on as I danced down the escalator.
I can only say this was probably one of the most energizing activities I have ever participated in. You are in the moment and people start filming you as they come to see what is happening. They clap and shout as we danced and shouted as well. I can't wait to see us on You Tube and the Trevor Project website. I was so out of my comfort box as I have no rhythm, no musical ability and my dance style is awful. But with a flash mob you whoop it up and can make mistakes and the idea is to have fun and fun I had. So glad I did it and probably will do another one when the opportunity presents itself. So fellow readers and writers-step out and step up to something that you normally don't do. It will set you free. Enjoy the video.
