Amateur Dance Collective Plans New Performance Locations For March 3rd

The NY Transit Authority recently called Shakedown Co-Director, Jamie Benson, ordering him to cease and desist with regard to the dance troupe's upcoming guerrilla performances on March 3rd. The group will no longer perform on NYC subway platforms.

New secret locations of the group's performance to Tom Waits' "Step Right Up" will be posted on the Shakedown Facebook Page on the morning of Monday, March 3rd.

Here's why you should feature the Shakedown Dance Collective's new NYC performances on MARCH 3rd, 2014 (from 7-9pm)...

WE'RE BAD ASSES: We've already gotten in trouble with our unusual ways. Who knows what will happen on performance day.

WAY BEYOND A FLASH MOB: Dancers will portray con-artists & street vendors in the performance.

ALL SIZES & AGES DANCE: The Shakedown is an all inclusive performance troupe. All experience levels are dared to dance & perform.
