At 12:10pm sharp, a large congregation of students spontaneously busted out into dance in front of the HUB on Wednesday.  Dancers in the flash mob synchronized choreography to “I Want You Back” by Jackson 5 from a large iHome sound system as spectators enjoyed the stress-relieving entertainment. The mob only lasted for about five minutes; not really a enough time to use as an excuse to skip the last day of class, but still a great time. As with most flash mobs, the purpose of this one was nothing more than providing a break from the ordinary and having some fun. According to the Penn State Flash Mob group on Facebook, you can expect more flash mobs in future semesters. Check out the play by play of photographs from start to finish.
