Boot-scootin' flashmob dancers surprise Tauranga Crossing shoppers

Shoppers and diners at Tauranga Crossing got more than they bargained for when line-dancers formed a flashmob and had a boogie in the mall.

Around 90 dancers took part in the surprise party to the sound of country classic Rockin' The Wagon Wheel.

After kicking off at about 1pm, the flashmob had shoppers stopping to watch or record the action on their phone.

Organiser Bruce Fletcher said line dancers from clubs around the Bay of Plenty took part in the dance.

"They were rapt and had a great time," he said.
