When you are shopping at the mall on a Saturday in the late morning, seeing a bunch of teenage girls is not an irregular occurrence.  Seeing that same bunch of teenage girls bust out into a choreographed dance routine is a different story altogether. 

That’s exactly what happened on November 13th as hundreds of dancers from the Pinnell Dance Centre performed a flash mob dance to a special version of the SafeAuto jingle at the Easton Town Center in Columbus, Ohio.  Starting off as one simple breakdancer, the crowd grew as more and more dancers joined in, until seemingly everyone within viewing distance seemed to be in on the routine.  Even SafeAuto spokesman Justin Case was in on the fun.  See the video here or at the end of this article.

It definitely surprised onlookers, whose reactions were caught by one of the five strategically placed video cameras that caught all the action.  While the dancers looked inconspicuous enough, you may have noticed a flood of red football jerseys in the crowd.  The simple answer to that observation is that it was a Saturday in November in Columbus which means an Ohio State football game was slated to kick-off later that afternoon. 

Congratulations to all who partook in the activities and it will be interesting to see if the SafeAuto Flash Mob can get anywhere near the amount of YouTube views as some of the other famous Flash Mobs over the past few years.

Time Warner and the Cartoon Network are teaming up to bring the Move it Movement tour to Easton Town Center on Friday, July 23, 2010, from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. The fun-filled family program will feature multiple themed activity and learning stations.

The "Move It Movement" is a live event touring the country to motivate and energize kids, taking on the country's biggest childhood health initiative: child obesity. This event is for children ages 6-14 and involves physical activities of all kinds. The program focuses on using the power of Cartoon Network's shows and characters to demonstrate the benefits of healthy lifestyles. Activities include a basketball challenge, obstacle course, hockey maze and a climbing wall.

SafeAuto’s Justin Case will be present at the Move it Movement Event this year as well. He will be signing autographs, handing out give-a-ways, and meeting with fans. SafeAuto Insurance is a strong supporter of living healthy lifestyles while also playing it safe out in the community.

The event is free for all ages and is located at Easton Town Center across the street from Barnes and Noble, behind Brio Tuscan Grill Restaurant. For more information or directions to the event, please visit the Easton Town Center website at http://eastontowncenter.com/Events.aspx?id=551.
