As you know from status updates on our Mom Prom or Motherlode Facebook pages, a group of us got together last night to practice the NWA Mom Prom flash mob dance that we’ll be doing on Prom Night.
Kelsey Lee, a Zumba instructor at the Mercy YMCA at Village on the Creeks in Rogers, agreed to help us out and did an AWESOME job pairing some Mom Prom Signature Moves with a mash-up of some great dance songs.
You know, all those moves you’ve perfected over the years as a mom? Yeah, Kelsey captured those in the dance 🙂 Moves like pointing your finger at each of your kids and announcing, “You and you and you are in TIME OUT!”
And who doesn’t love those classic mama moves like “Drive the Minivan”, “Rock the baby” and “Push the stroller”? It’s really easy to learn and — bonus! — Kelsey will be at the prom to lead us in the dance.
We’re sorry you didn’t get to boogie with us last night, but no worries! Below is the video we shot at rehearsal last night. You still have a few weeks to learn the dance, so get together with your girlfriends and practice as a group or freak out your kids by busting a move in the living room! Family exercise time!
We would love for you to join us on the dance floor when we hear the intro to “Ice, Ice Baby”. That’s our cue!
If you missed any of the names of the dance moves, here’s the choreography that Kelsey put together:

Note from the mamas: If dancing in a Flash Mob is not your thing, don’t sweat it. You can just watch the rest of us and point and laugh. We guarantee it’ll be funny. See you Prom Night! CLICK HERE to buy tickets!
