Dance number in a Belgian train station

[Gimpy]

It's super cool but it's an advertisment campaign.

Yeah, I figured it was. The blurb on it on You Tube said it was something about dancers doing a promo at the train station for Sound of Music auditions.

Even though it was an ad, it still lightened my heart that day. Seeing the people begin to get into it and clap along, and seeing the joy as it lit up around the room, well, that was a much needed boost, osit.

Sometimes, you just have to dance and spread some joy around. :D

Ditto!! I could tell it wasn't a real Flashmob too....but it made me happy sniffle anyway :)

I could tell that T-mobile one was an add too, but it was a very nice add. I like seeing creative commercials like that, after being bombarded with stupid ones all day.

Also, I have to say that "Where the hell is Matt" video brought tears to my eyes. The first thing I wondered was, how did he get these people to dance with him? And of course the answer was on youtube. So if you wondered the same.. here's his answer

Yes of course, me too.
I cannot help but have this ambivalent feelings about the video though.
What strikes me is that many people would love to see such spontaneous dance act anywhere and it is uplifting.

I am always very cautious when an advertisment campaign use the emotional angle because, well, it works :D

The PTB knows what button to push so even if it's positive, I like to know who is behind it... Avatar comes to mind

This really made me smile...thanks for sharing! If there's something sinister behind it, dunno, but watching it mad me happy, happy, happy... ;)

Same here, although I had seen that video before, this time it really moved me. I could only watch a few minutes of it since I was at work. Just watching the children dance and thinking that we are all more alike than we are different was very touching. The comments by SAO were also nicely stated.

Thanks for both of the videos.
