The dancers are members of Auxiliary, a hip-hop dance team based in Santa Rosa. Directed by Chris Medina and Kyle Mitchell, the team has competed across the North Bay and internationally since founding in 2015.

The superhero routine was a timely one. "Deadpool 2," starring Ryan Reynolds, hits theaters nationwide on Friday, May 18.

You may have also spotted superhero dancers at Wednesday Night Market in Santa Rosa. Spider-Man was one of dozens of people taking part in a "flash mob" dance in Courthouse Square this past Wednesday night.
