The global line dance community is coming together once again for the International Line Dance Flashmob 2026, in conjunction with Angie’s Dance Academy UK, and this year promises to be more inclusive, vibrant, and inspiring than ever before.
On 2nd May at 2.30pm, dancers will gather at The Galleria for a special live performance, joining hundreds of groups worldwide in a shared celebration of music, movement, and community spirit.
This year’s flashmob features two Crystal Boot Award-winning dances, alongside a special charity routine designed to welcome participants of all abilities. With multiple choreography versions available - including standard, arm-only, wheelchair-accessible, and children’s adaptations - the event truly embodies inclusivity. Whether you’re a seasoned dancer or stepping onto the floor for the first time, everyone is invited to take part.
The 2026 Flashmob Dances:
• HOEDOWN by Gary O’Reilly
• HEEL TOE RODEO by Gary O’Reilly
Charity Dance:
• EVERYBODY DANCE! by Sascha Wolf & Ben Murphy
In previous years, the International Line Dance Flashmob has united hundreds of groups across the globe, with many opening their events to newcomers and building lasting connections through dance.
This year also marks a meaningful partnership with the Line Dance Foundation, supporting a shared commitment to giving back. Staying true to the motto, “From the community, for the community,” participating groups are encouraged, where possible, to donate £1 per dancer via the official donation page. Additional contributions are warmly welcomed.
Anthony Greener, Retail Manager at The Galleria says: “I am absolutely delighted to welcome the line dance flash mob in partnership with Angie’s Dance Academy at The Galleria in Hatfield. It is a fantastic opportunity to bring people together, celebrate community spirit, and share the joy of dance in such a vibrant setting.”
