Daft Punk Flash Mob Dance Classes

DAFT PUNK A retro-futurist block party

We are excited to announce that we are ending the year with something we have never done before: Daft Punk!

Our fabulous teacher H.P. Mendoza is going to take Daft Punk hits and combine them with iconic moves to create a retro-futurist block party that will end 2018 with a bang. The songs in our high-energy medley: Television Rules the Nation, Crescendolls, Get Lucky (feat. Pharrell), Derezzed, Harder Better Faster Stronger, and Around the World.

If you’ve ever wanted to learn a step routine, you are in luck, because in addition to step, H.P. will teach us an eclectic dance routine with choreography inspired by Bay Area hip-hop, robotix, and even musicals like West Side Story, The Wiz and the work of Bob Fosse! You definitely do not want to miss this production.

We also already have a stage performance lined up at CCSF on Saturday, December 15, 2018. Mark your calendars!

7 Wednesdays, October 10 – December 5, 2018, 8:00-9:30 pm, at Levy Studio, 19 Heron St., SF.

Hair was tossed, hips were hit, legs were stretched, bodies were rolled, and no one got hurt (at least nothing that a couple of advils, epsom salt bath and a trip to get a massage won’t cure), and everybody wins!

Congratulations Team Xtina and Team Brit for pulling off the Sexy Showcase Showdown!

Take a timeout from all this sexy business and join us for Daft Punk Flash Mob!

Thriller classes!

“It’s close to midnight and something evil’s lurking in the dark…”
Actually, we should be in bed by midnight because classes start at 8 pm and end at 10 pm, and Britney Briggs, our head zombie leader who’s teaching us the choreography is pretty friendly, and Levy studio is well-lit.
Otherwise, the rest is accurate; you will still come out a zombie. Come learn this short routine, perfect for all dance levels, occasions, and parties.
Wednesdays, Oct.  18 and Oct. 25, 8-10 pm
Levy Studio, 19 Heron St, San Francisco

We have the opportunity to perform this on Friday, Oct 27 (time tba) at Oakland Museum for their special Thriller-themed edition of Friday Nights @ OMCA!

If you’re new to BAFM, you will need to fill out a waiver/code of conduct form. We also encourage you to join our Facebook group page to stay updated with class information.

(Fun fact:  Learning Thriller was also how Bay Area Flash Mob began seven years ago, so come celebrate our anniversary with us, and be part of history.)
