Performances:  "Dancing" by Kylie Minogue teach a modified version of the National Dance Day dance, but this video will give you the basics. No previous experience or rehearsal necessary.

Additional Info:  
After the Flash Mob at Jackson Square, the event is officially over.  So you can either park by the Mint and walk back to your car, or park closer to Jackson Square.  You will be responsible for all of your belongings!
