Hundreds of Angers dancers for a flash mob in front of the Grand Théâtre

The bleak sky which covered Angers city on Saturday afternoon didn't dissuade five hundred or so dancers to gather in Ralliement square for a Nrj flash mod announced on You Tube a few days ago. The forecourt in front of the Grand Théâtre was the floor for a Gangnam style dance whose sequences were described by the radio channel on internet. The phenomena apparently attracted young boys and girls from very different social classes, some of the girls put in fancy dress, like a sexy nurse uniform, for the event. 

A flash mob is "a group of people who assemble suddenly in a place, perform an unusual and seemingly pointless act for a brief time, then disperse, often for the purposes of entertainment, satire, and artistic expression", indicates Wikipedia. The Angers Nrj flash mob was organized via Facebook. The topic of the Angers dance had someting to do with horse universe because people were due to move as if they were riding horse with a lasso. But dancers didn't respected closely the intructions of the organizers most of them waving arms as if they were demontrating.


 What looks amusing for an observer (who doesn't dance) is that the piquancy of the event comes both from people who dance and people who look at dancers. If the adults present on the square were apparently amused by the sequence, some elders persons looked more dumbfounded...
