What started as spontaneous dance sessions grew into a passion for movement, creativity, and community connection.

Known for his dynamic energy and love of creating in the moment, Kit thrives on building experiences that celebrate collaboration, expression, and authenticity. Alexandra (Sandra) O'Donnell Alexandra (Sandra) O'Donnell currently performs with OnStage Dance Company (OSDC) and has been dancing various styles since age 3. In 2016, she discovered Flash Mob America (FMA) and was instantly hooked; she quickly fell in love with the excitement, connection, and thrill of dancing with strangers. From birthday mobs in Boston to a marriage proposal in CA, Sandra has danced across states with FMA. Alongside these experiences, she participated in flash mobs with OSDC and other dancers throughout the Boston area, soaking up every chance to turn an ordinary public space into a joyful surprise. After moving to NH and with FMA eventually dissolving, she found herself missing that pure joy and spontaneity that flash mobs create. Surprising the world with happiness, one dance at a time, remains one of her favorite things to do, and she hopes you’ll join in on the fun!
