This Saturday a local group called, \u201cBranson Flash Mob\u201d will surprise shoppers at the TANGER OUTLETS mall with two Flash Mobs. In celebration of the premiere of this summer\u2019s blockbuster movie, \u201cThe Dark Knight Rises\u201d, Bob Nichols Company is rallying the troupes for an outdoor dance ambush. This is the second time BNC has teamed with Branson\u2019s IMAX Entertainment Complex to promote the opening of a Hollywood Movie.<\/p>\n
Branson Flash Mob is a group of mostly local citizens who enjoy the fun of this type of guerilla marketing. Flash mobs, originally created as a type of rebellious public celebration, was first utilized as this type of marketing tool last year, when BNC produced its first effort for the Hollywood opening of \u201cHarry Potter\u201d, also at the IMAX Entertainment Complex.<\/p>\n
\u201cFrom there it grew into a Facebook page and now is being revived to even larger participation,\u201d said Bob Nichols, Managing member of BNC.<\/p>\n
Once again, Michelle Willadsen, of Branson\u2019s Midwest Dance Revolution, is choreographing the mobsters. Participants learn the choreography by watching the rehearsal video posted online, then they just show up and dance!<\/p>\n
The \u201cBatman\u201d flash mob will be this Saturday, July 14 at the Tanger Outlet Mall. There will be two dances, the first in front of the Fudgery at 4:30 p.m. and the second in front of SAS Shoes just 20 minutes later, at 4:50 p.m. There will be a third flash mob inside the IMAX Entertainment Complex just before the official premiere of \u201cThe Dark Knight Rises: The IMAX Experience” in all-new IMAX DMR at 11:59 p.m. on Thursday, July 19.<\/p>\n
