‘Flash mob’ or just ‘mob’? You decide

Word had long since spread about a flash mob in the Compass this past Friday, Sept. 16 at 1 p.m.

When a dance team of students broke out a choreographed rendition of Beyonce’s “Run the World (Girls),” therefore, a crowd was already waiting for them.

Some in the audience questioned the descriptor “flash mob” as applied to a performance that was not necessarily a surprise.

“This isn’t a flash mob,” Nelson Johnson, junior creative advertising major, said. “It’s just a mob.”

Whatever you call it, the dancers and other impromptu performances that followed drew cheers from the Compass crowd, which took well over half an hour to dissipate.
