PRESS RELEASE
WATCH OUT FOR “FLASH MOB” SURPRISES.
New additions to the Manning Winter Festival program in June will provide some very creative entertainment. Over a number of years spectacular “Flash Mob” performances have gained huge popularity around the world. Performers of many kinds spontaneously “pop up” in public places and demonstrate their skills to delight their audiences.
Taree will be no exception mid -morning on Saturday 4 June when Mid North Coast Bootscooters will create magic for shoppers and staff at the Manning Mall and Taree Central shopping centres. “This is a first for the Manning Valley and something we hope will be continued by others in time to come,” said Manning Winter Festival President Mave Richardson. “It is a wonderful concept which highlights our vast local talent and celebrates our community,” she added.
Other “Flash Mob” performances at the two shopping centres will occur mid-morning on Saturday 11 June. This time dancers from the Andrea Rowsell Academy of Dance will be capturing the attention of the shopping public. Event coordinator, Janeece Richards, has nothing but praise for the enthusiastic support she has received. “Managers of both shopping centres and both sets of performers were delighted to participate. It has been a great pleasure to work with them,” she said.
The Mid North Coast Bootscooters Line Dancing group was established 22 years ago. They dance to a wide variety of music, no longer only country music. With more than 100 members they warmly welcome new members – beginners or not. For more information visit their website: www. midnorthcoastbootscooters.weebly.com
The Andrea Rowsell Academy of Dance began in 2004. With an extensive teaching and performing background in Australia and overseas, Andrea is looking forward to the coming “Flash Mob” performances. “Opportunities for the students to be involved in local community events like these are important. The students are excited about bringing some fun and entertainment to the venues and are enjoying learning and rehearsing their piece for the festival,” she said.
“Flash Mob” performances should always come as a surprise so details cannot be announced in advance. Visit Taree shopping Malls on 4 and 11 June and be ready for a wonderful surprise! The Manning Winter Festival committee encourages everyone to come along and join in the fun. Visit the website for further information: www.manningwinterfestival.weebly.com
