Question: Are they the same thing?
Answer: Well, they can be, but it depends on the event . . . or who you are asking.
Question: Do you have any examples?
Answer: Yes, I do. Here are some examples of my favorite Happenings/Flash Mobs. These performances demonstrate the energy I would like to create for this event (without the complex choreography). Enjoy!
Question: Awwww MAN!! Do I have to know how to dance to participate in the project?
Answer: No. (I can’t dance like that either.) The Electric Slide is an easy dance. Anyone can learn it, plus the best thing about the dance is if you mess up . . . no one will see you.
