Also, check out the newest Flash Mob Mumbai in an India CST station. Nice job Mumbia, Indiai! The sound of music in antwerp station and Oprah with Black eyed peas ones are the best though.

What I liked most about this video was seeing the young people of today dancing like this and enjoying it. Something that doesn't have to do with bumping and grinding.

I am SO sorry i missed this last year...My grandma is gone now, but even at 85 years old she would have been out there !

[slyball]

[Cjandcosplays]

Thank you. Sometimes I feel like the only person in the world you actually cares about this sort of stuff. It makes me feel a lot better watching flash mobs like this. It gives me some sort of hope for this century.

I love how they are so awesome at doing Big Band Old School Dancing and dressed in modern every day clothes. Long live the Big Band Music!

This is on my bucket list...! 1) Witness a random flash mob. 2) Be a part of a random flash mob!

[janetharris]

Loved it!!! My parents met a dance during WWII in England. I always love watching them dance!

Our teacher always said, "the first rule of dancing. .is to SMILE!" Best advice ever! Yay for swing!

[doyanconeith]

It is things like this that restore my faith in kids today.

[MeltedPearls]

The BEST! Big band rules! These folks were so skilled and so relaxed, it spreads their energy and joy to all who see them. GREAT work! Thanks so much!

I can't think of anything that gives more pure pleasure to anyone than a flash mob. It pure joy to watch.

What memories I had! My mom and dad are gone now at ages 90 and 91. I miss them so much, but I put on the 'ol big band cds that they had and the original records and smile.

this is beautiful. unification of the human race starts with what we all have in common, music and comedy.

[awordfword]

Wow! That's quite an accomplishment! My mother is going to be 84 in October and I'm lucky if she even remembers my name. I try to stay positive and look back at the "salad" days of listening to records and dancing all night! A much simpler time!

[BillyOddments]

I would give just about anything to be able to dance well to those songs.... I can only imagine being alive when that music was first coming out and what the dance halls must have been How wonderful!!!!

[missyblueeyes]

I like that they have been doing flash mobs, it gives people some enjoyment,
the world would be a better place if you just dance and be happy!!!

So I'm not the only one who feels like dancing when at an airport!
