All Day: Virtual Pride Flash Mob Dance Class with Shannon McKenzie Perkins
Audience: All Ages
The Virtual Flashmob Dance Class is a pre recorded all ages event in which Ms. AGRA 2020 Shannon McKenzie Perkins will teach original beginner level choreography to a popular Pride anthem. My hope is that the attendees will enjoy learning the choreography and whenever the song is played during our rescheduled Pride weekend (whether at the festival or at bar gatherings) people will break into the dance routine. I believe it will be a fun thing to participate in virtually while also giving everyone something to look forward to once we can all get together again. Available all weekend on Shannon’s YouTube Channel.
