Success!-Sask in motion’s Dance Flash Mob ft. YBCS

Saskatchewan in motion and Youth Ballet and Contemporary Dance of Saskatchewan staged a flash mob at noon in Regina’s Cornwall Centre on Thursday, August 26, 2010

We’re Doin’ It!
I’m to excited to wait until my full post is ready to tell you all about how we did it; but Saskatchewan in motion in partnership with the Youth Ballet and Contemporary Dance of Saskatchewan pulled of a deadly flash mob yesterday!

It took place at the Cornwall Centre in Regina at noon, and with a crowd gathered we did not disapoint! With over 200 dancers and a huge crowd, even the most confused spectators walked away smiling.

Because it’s Fun!
We went out there to show how much fun being active, moving around, and just enjoing the feeling you get from being physically active can be. With only 15% of Saskatchewan kids getting the minimum daily physical activity they need, we have to remind people about my favorite reason to be active..because it’s FUN!

Ya, the health, socail, economic and environmental benefits are relevant arrguments for consistently being active, but there is no better reason than feeling great about yourself and having a blast.

I got a feeling..
I know when I do any kind of activity, even one that I find a little more tedious, like running, I feel fantastic after. I can be proud of myself, it’s an accomplishment every time you finish. You can set goals for yourself or do it purley because you love it, like we all did on Thursday.

It wasn’t about buring calories or even meeting our “daily requirments” because when you’re having as much fun as we did, it’s pure joy! We got to hang out with friends, entertain ourselves and other people, and it was a cool feeling making other people happy.

My point is we we’re acitve and having fun.. it’s a great combination! You should try it some time!
