Everyone is invited and there is an online video that teaches viewers the choreography: http://www.flashmob.co.uk/index.php/site/page/londons_southbank_centre_to_host_mass_synchronised_dancemob/.

They kept the locations secret until shortly before the cleanups and spread the word virally by Facebook, Twitter, etc.

From the call for participation: “Those volunteering will not only get the chance to make a practical improvement to London’s environment, but also the rare chance to get onto the foreshore, meet like-minded people and get a new perspective on London’s waterways.”
