Manifesto X National School of Ballet Hip Hop Flash Mob

The Manifesto Festival of Community & Culture ended their 5th Annual 2011 festival with an even bigger bang than their last. Each year Manifesto takes pride in showcasing our talented pool of Canadian singers, poets and visual artists: through various workshops, special performances and events (over a two week period). The grand finale or “Live At the Square ” event took place at our famous Yonge & Dundas Square (the equivalent of Time Square in the US). The entire day was filled with performers, vendors, the All Good in The Hood competition (presented by Scion) and several other special events.  One of the most memorable performances of the day; the Hip Hop Flash Mob presented by Manifesto & the National School of Ballet.

Che Kothari (Director of Manifesto Community, Arts & Culture) Quote:

We have been documenting the National Ballet School (NBS) flashmob since their inception. Earlier this year I reached out to them asking if we could partner on a hip hop version where I could help choose the track & choreographer. On September 25th, to help kick off our Live At The Square event NBS and MANIFESTO teamed up at Yonge Dundas Square and it went down.
