EDGEWATER — When One Direction stops off in Chicago on Aug. 23 to perform at Soldier Field, they won't be the only ones busting out sweet moves to their music Downtown.

Two girls from Edgewater are recruiting die-hard "One Directioners" to join their group as they rehearse choreography over the next few months — leading up to a flash mob at Millennium Park the day before concert.

In signs posted around the Edgewater neighborhood, the two girls say they will be practicing at Senn High School, 5900 N. Glenwood Ave., every Thursday and Saturday in July — making sure to note that additional rehearsal dates may be added as needed.

Miss a practice? Don't worry, the girls will have each session taped and posted to YouTube.

The hard work will all culminate in a flash mob at "the big bean downtown" the day before the show "so the boys might be in town," the poster says.

Contact information can be found on the flier.
