A flash mob is a spontaneous gathering of people in a public place to perform a coordinated act. It's usually a dance, song, or other entertaining routine, before quickly dispersing.
These events often appear unplanned to spectators, creating an element of surprise and excitement. However, they are carefully organised, usually through social media or messaging apps.
