Carr Hill students were left pleasantly surprised by a group of year 9 and 10 GCSE Dance pupils after they performed an impromptu flash mob.
Whilst the flash mob was fun for all involved and those who watched on, initially in shock, the event was actually a charity exercise to help raise money for the Teenage Cancer Trust. 16 students have given up their free time over the past three months to choreograph the dance, which was kept a secret from everyone.
The flash mob started with just one student, Megan Eccles. Megan was gradually joined by other dancers throughout the routine, which was made up of a medley of popular songs. Students who were not part of the routine also began to join in the fun, which took place on the school field.
Megan said: “I was nervous at first because we didn’t know what the reaction would be like, it’s very different to performing on stage in front of an audience. Luckily, all the staff and students were really surprised but soon they were singing along and some even joined in the routine.
“The flash mob was lots of fun but also a great way to raise money for an important charity. We would definitely do something like this again for charity although it would have to be something completely different to keep people guessing.”
