FAQ – How to Join the Line Dance Flashmob
How do I take part in the flashmob?
Learn the official line dance flashmob choreography. You can choose one, two or all three of the dances — whatever feels right for you. Tutorial videos and stepsheets are available on our website and on YouTube.
Do I have to dance all dances?
No! We’ve deliberately created a selection of dances so you can choose the ones that best fit your event. You’re free to dance one, two, or all three choreographys — it’s completely up to you.
Can we join with other dance groups?
Absolutely! Invite other local line dance groups to join you and organize something together. This flashmob is all about community, connection, and supporting each other.
When does the flashmob take place?
The official flashmob day is the first Saturday in May – May 2nd, 2026.
Is there a fixed performance time?
No. There is no fixed performance time set by us. Choose a time that works best for you, your group, and your location.
Do we have to dance in a public space?
Not at all. You can dance anywhere that feels right for you — in a public space, at home, in your living room, in a dance studio, or as part of a party or event. Every way of participating is welcome.
What do we need to know about permits and rules?
If you perform in a public space, please make sure you follow local rules, regulations, and laws. Your local authorities can help with permits and often support activities like this.
What if public permits are difficult to get?
You can also partner with a restaurant, bar, sports stadium, school, shopping mall, or event location. These places usually already have the necessary permits.
Is there a donation or charity aspect to this flashmob?
Yes. This flashmob supports the Line Dance Foundation. Participation is free, and donations are completely optional, but every contribution helps support line dance projects and the global community. You can find more information about the donation initiative here.
Groups are invited, if possible, to support the charity by donating 1 Euro/Dollar/Pound per dancer, by donating more if they wish, or by purchasing Flashmob 2026 T-shirts and merchandise.
What is the Charity Dance?
The Charity Dance is an additional dance created especially for the International Line Dance Flashmob 2026. It comes with several versions — standard, arms-only, wheelchair, and kids’ versions — so that as many people as possible can take part.
Why a Charity Dance?
The Charity Dance gives us an extra opportunity to include even more dancers worldwide and to give something back to our community. Staying true to our motto “From the community, for the community”, we are partnering with the Line Dance Foundation to support and strengthen the line dance community.
Should we film our dance?
Yes, please! Film your dance — wherever you perform — and upload the video to YouTube and your social media channels.
Use the hashtag #linedanceflashmob2026 so the worldwide community can find your video.
