One of my favorite blogs, Two Nerdy History Girls, had a marvelous post featuring a Friday Video entitled "'Morning Mood' on the Metro".
This lovely video made me realize something: I love flash mobs. Dancing, music--well, especially dancing flash mobs. Because of this, I decided to put together a list of some of my favorite flash mobs, including some that aren't exactly flash mobs but are pretty wonderful all the same.
So, without further ado, here they are:
Musical Flash Mobs
Shopping Mall Vivaldi and Adagio for Strings (I think…)
Philadelphia Opera Messiah
La Traviata at the Ferry Market
Opera en Alto Rosario, portions of Carmen—with La Traviata thrown in
Dancing Flash Mobs
Flash mob dance 1st time in Mumbai with choreography by SANTOSH BHANGRE at Korum Mall Thane for Smita Thackre's film RAADA ROCKS
Diversity - Got to Dance Flashmob
Royal Ballet of Flanders
Anaheim Ballet, Urban Ballet
St Patrick’s Day Flash Mob
Prison's flash mob, Michael Jackson's song
One of my absolute favorite flash mobs: The Joffrey Gets "Real Simple" Full Version (the positions of some of the dances are so beautiful with the full extensions—I would have liked to have been in the crowd, witnessing this)
And, because it was National Tap Day 25 May 2012
Gene Kelly tap dancing on roller skates. Really—the man was a god. From Always Fair Weather
Gene Kelly “Singing in the Rain”
Woodbox Tap (amazing)
Swiss Tap Flash Mob
Savion Glover at the White House
River Dance Trading Taps
Eleanor Powell and Buddy Rich
Another Swiss Tap Flash Mob (the Swiss can sure tap)
Mary Poppins “Step in Time”
Just because:
Chhaiya Chhaiya, from Dil Se (This has ruined trains for me: I can no longer see one without wanting to dance on their tops. By the by, no dancers fell from the train during the three days of filming)
Gisele Bundchen flashmob at Sao Paulo airport
The T-Mobile Flashmob London Heathrow - Welcome Back Advert
Amazing Highland Hornpipe Dance by Laura Scott
Highland Sword Dance -- Laura Scott with Ed Pearlman and Tony Cuffe
