Sources report that Kevin Heft was the only person who showed up to the dance flash mob that was scheduled for yesterday afternoon.
Heft arrived to the main green at 2 PM, ten minutes before the flash mob was scheduled to begin, and waited for more than an hour for others to arrive. The flash mob would’ve been the second largest in University history if all 132 of Heft’s friends and classmates who said they would attend on Facebook had shown up.
“Look, I was really excited,” exclaimed Heft, who had his neon spandex costume on under his casual clothing and snap pants. “I’ve been rehearsing the dance for a while. I thought maybe someone saw me dance at a party and put my name on an email list or something. That felt cool.”
Heft added that he checked his phone multiple times to make sure he was in the right place. “A few minutes after two, I started with the first move: jump, clap, turn, into a jump split," said Heft, adding that he hoped he hadn’t ruined the mob by starting too early. “That was when I realized no one was joining in on the 8-count,” remarked Heft. “They were supposed to be in on the 8-count. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t disappointed.”
“I was stretched and ready,” said Heft. “I got so excited that I think I pulled my groin on that first split. All for nothing apparently.”
As of press time, Heft had just decided to go for it, and, according to various passersby, was a very good dancer.
