Frequently Asked Question

How can I join Ajumma EXP? 

 

Our crew is based in San Diego, California and primarily practice dancing in the late Fall/early winter.  If you are in town and are interested in participating in our next flashmob, please let us know.

 

If you are outside San Diego, there are several ways you can still support Ajumma EXP and be part of our virtual army.  First, please follow us on our social media channels: Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and Twitter. Like, comment, and share our posts. We rely on organic marketing to spread the good word of the Ajumma!  Also, if you or someone you know would be a good candidate for our Ajumma Spotlight series on our blog, you do not need to be in San Diego.  Please contact us so that we can determine if you or your colleague would be a good fit.
