1/24/2024
The Deseret News reports that:
On Monday, a flash mob of dancers dressed as Napoleon Dynamite took over Main Street in Park City. In a video posted on Sundance Film Festival’s official X account, they wore shirts that read “Re-elect Pedro 2024” and busted out the hilarious moves from the famous dance scene in the 2004 film.
The flash mob’s performance came in preparation of the 20th anniversary of “Napoleon Dynamite” at Sundance.
20 years and the dance moves are still fresh 🕺
