Flash Mob in Cleveland Supporting LeBron James
Just this past Thursday (June 17th) there was a flash mob sighting near the fountain at the Tower City Center. Around lunchtime, some members of the Shaker Dance Academy teamed up with the Boys and Girls Clubs of Akron appeared from the crowd and danced their little tushies off! The group totaled almost 200!!
I think this is the cutest thing ever, especially since the kids did it in hopes that LeBron would notice their support of him and stay in Cleveland. Although I’m sure NY will be quick to make fun of these efforts and call us “pathetic” for trying…even though they’re doing the same thing. (Don’t get me started…)
I’m pretty sure the flash mob was organized by Positively Cleveland, WKYC and morethanaplayer.org — the video is from Positively Cleveland.
By the way, have you been to morethanaplayer.org yet? I’m sure you’ve at least seen the billboards around Cleveland. Check it out if you have some time. The site was started by ‘Fans for LeBron’ to let him know just how special he is to our city.
