The flash mob “Dancing Under the Sakura " was held at Sakura Avenue at noon on March 31. It was led by a Sports Department gymnastic teacher. Nine students from the International Standard Dance Associations and ‘Aero-power’ Gymnastic Association’ captivated the audience with a short five-minute performance. They were well-received by students for their beautiful costumes and passionate dancing.

‘Flash mob’ is a performance art that is becoming popular throughout the world. This form of dancing combines participants’ passion with their teamwork and very accurate timing.

‘Flash mob’ is a demonstration of the social evolution of entertainment, commonwealth and individualization. It’s also the result of the new generation seeking personal expression. In the flash mobs, the students performed samba, cheerleading dance, jazz dance and so on. They received a standing ovation and cheers as they successfully completed their dances. This activity reflected a spirit of teamwork within the student organizations and the good personality of Tongji people, which received wide attention from teachers and students. Members of different associations promised to transfer this positive energy to students as they make efforts to diversify cultural and sports extracurricular activities.
