S.F. loves a good flash mob (don't you? we don't) and today a mob of several hundred, if not more, are expected to irritate and confuse Union Square tourists around noon. The event is called One Dance, they've been doing it for a couple of years, and it kicks off National Dance Week. Participants are asked to "perform" a three-minute "choreographed dance piece" between noon and 1 p.m., on the Square. The coming week will also feature over 400 free dance events around the Bay Area.

Afternoon Palate Cleanser: Turkey Lurkey Time
As many of you know, Burt Bacharach, Michael Bennett and Donna McKechine are a holiday tradition here at SFist. With Christmas just days away, we once again present to you "Turkey Lurkey Time," the most insipid song / greatest choreography ever to hit a Broadway stage.

Reminiscent of Donna McKechnie's "Tick Tock" number from Stephen Sondheim's Company -- which featured McKechnie power dancing on moving elevators within a 1970s metropolitan landscape of marriage, love, sex, song, and Stritch -- ThinkSketchDesign came across this scene yesterday in Osage Alley. Apparently, "a small crowd gathered to watch dancers practicing a routine on twin fire escapes. Music was playing from somewhere as they danced in and out of their doors, up and down the fire escape stairs and ladders."
