\"\"<\/a>During this new era of social distancing and safety protocols, let\u2019s take a walk down memory lane with the top 10 most-viewed dance flash mobs of all time.<\/p>\n

Traditionally, dance flash mobs are when a group of people assemble in a public place to wow the crowd with an eye-catching dance routine. The first known flash mob took place in New York, New York, when Bill Wasik, a senior editor of Harper\u2019s Magazine, encouraged people to gather at Macy\u2019s Department Store. Others met up in a hotel lobby, and more pretended to be tourists on a bus trip. Over time, flash mobs have evolved to include elaborate dance performances, concerts or instrumental performances that wow crowds and provide people with a surprising break during their daily routine.<\/p>\n

The outbreak of COVID-19 sent Americans into quarantine to help flatten the curve and stay safe. Even as states slowly reopen and people venture out in their communities, many public gatherings look decidedly different this year. Fred Astaire Dance Studios encourages people to take a few minutes out of their day to enjoy some famous flash mobs from days gone by.<\/p>\n
