Flash mob dance and food trucks, too

They’re billing it as the Biggest Dance Ever, and if you’ve ever wanted to show off your moves in the Music Center Plaza, consider this your big chance.

In honor of National Dance Day, The Music Center and the Dizzy Feet Foundation are hosting this first-ever celebration in Los Angeles—which will include a flash mob dance assembled by the husband-and-wife choreographers and hip-hop innovators Tabitha and Napoleon D’umo.

The project is the brainchild of choreographer, producer and director Nigel Lythgoe (Pop Idol, American Idol, So You Think You Can Dance) to support dance education and physical fitness. It offers a variety of dance-themed activities, encouraging and inspiring people of all ages to give it a whirl in a variety of styles from hip-hop to ballroom.

The dance festivities are free as part of the Music Center’s  Active Arts program. It all takes place on Saturday, July 31, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. on the Music Center Plaza downtown.

After a morning warm-up, the pace will pick up with director and SYTYCD judge Adam Shankman and the D’umos leading a big dance party and DJ jams. Meanwhile, participants can feast on a selection of goodies from some of the city’s favorite food trucks.
