Learn MiddletownRemix Dance for May 11 Flash Mob
The dance, created by a Wesleyan student, can be seen in an instructional video that offers easy moves to accompany a commissioned piece by North End resident DJ Arun Ranganathan.
The yearlong Wesleyan University MiddletownRemix project — in which the sounds of the city have been captured by smartphone users of all ages — will culminate next weekend with a giant musical celebration.
An exciting flash mob is planned for the free MiddletownRemix: Hear More, See More Festival on May 11, based on a dance created by a Wesleyan student, whose instructional video offers easy and funky moves to accompany a commissioned piece by North End resident DJ Arun Ranganathan.
The dance, demonstrated here in this YouTube video, was choreographed by Kelsey Siegel, a Wesleyan senior. The event will take place May 11 at 2:30 p.m., in front of It's Only Natural Market (575 Main Street, Middletown).
Arun has been commissioned to create a 30-minute remix based on the sounds of MiddletownRemix, which will be performed live at both 2 and 4 p.m. on the main sound stage outside of It’s Only Natural Market, interspersed with remixes by Wesleyan student DJs.
