Brentwood Country Mart Patrons Surprised With Tango Treat

A flash mob group formed by actress and author Jamie Rose gave Brentwood Country Mart patrons a surprise tango performance last week. The event was meant to kick off a reading and signing of Rose's first book.

We love flash-mobbery here at Brentwood Patch. It's the civilized equivalent of jumping out and yelling "boo" at an unsuspecting victim troddling by. A fash mob is a group of people who, at a agreed upon time and place, will carry out some action and completely surprise those around them.

Recently, via a flash mob song and dance routine of "Can't Take My Eyes Off of You."

On Sunday, actress Jamie Rose coordinated a tango flash mob at the Brentwood Country Mart to kick off the signing of her first book, "Shut Up and Dance!: The Joy of Letting Go of the Lead—On the Dance Floor and Off."
