It seemed a bit to well choreographed to me to be spontaneous.
But enjoyable none the less.

It wasn't spontaneous Ron. It was a choreographed routine done by amateur dancers. But just the reaction of the crowd and the fact that you see some of them just join in. Just a nice , feel-good vid.

Maybe they should do something like this at Flinders St when they have cancelled a lot of peak hour trains. Obviously staged, but a great start to the day.

What a beautiful firecracker for the comuters that day!

Lyinxz, it took me a while to realize the gift of dance so nicely worded in link you provided. This is why I LOVE tango. Its my heritage and it took me a long time to understand this, not the miss leading asumption of naked erotisism. Now I dance for the trance it induces with its moving music and lyrics. Blues is the next best thing for me- same roots, emotions, gravity and levity.

"Dance to express, not to impress"

Love it.

Mental

Ah, yes. Flash mobbing.

In Vancouver, they take over a bridge during peak hour traffic on Friday afternoons and dance on the bridge causing havoc for commuters.

That's just guaranteed to put a smile on your face How could you not get a wriggle on if you were there?

I love the reactions on the faces of those not involved in the prank. It 's a reminder that even in this fast-paced and distracting life...people haven't lost touch with the ability to lose themselves in a moment of glee.

Very heartwarming...

Actually...

RailCorp has held the occasional Christmas ball for its staff in Central, on the country trains concourse. Live big band and all, for hundreds of people.
