Flash Banging

Hey FlashBangers

I have bad news.  I just heard from the production company that ALT-J does not want us to dance a flash mob at their show, they did not get a reason.  I personally would prefer to have the band’s support, so I’m canceling the ALT-J FlashBang.  I’m sorry for the disappointment and I will be happy to issue refunds.

But don’t worry we already have several FlashBang opportunities coming up! If you need cheering up or some extra fun plan to come out this Saturday Feb 16th to Project Improv’s Awkward Date Show with INDYPROV at Walden Theater.  Ticket are $7 individually and $10 for a couple.

I will keep you updated on our upcoming Flash BANG events!

Hey Horde!

Just wanted to post some links to help you all learn on your own.

Like I’ve said in practice, learning the dance script is very helpful to learning the routine and staying on beat. Say it as you dance it. You can also download the audio with various speeds with and with the script for free.

For those of your who have been to several rehearsals here’s a useful walkthrough that breaks down the whole dance, including whats different.

Here are the links each section broken down:

1. Section 1 Zombie March- Easy!
2. Section 2 March Booty Swim Easy!
3. Section 3 Shuffle Ha! Normal
4. Section 4 Hip n Roar Hard Section
5. Section 5 Wuz Up Normal
6. Section 6 Oh Snap! Normal
7. Section 7 Head n Shoulders Hard
8. Section 8 Stomp! Easy!
