Belgium Central Railway Station Mass Dance Inspiration

I saw this a few months ago, and was astounded by it, and tried to keep it a secret because I was determined to stage something like this with Festival Dance students.... But now it has been seen by millions of people on YouTube, so I thought I'd better let you know about it - if you don't already. This group "join in" performance is brilliant! What FUN!

In Antwerp, Belgium at the Central Railway Station, on a Monday morning, with no warning to the passengers passing through the station, a recording of Julie Andrews came over the public address system. As the bemused passengers watch in amazement . . . .


(Don't assume it is unrehearsed. It took 200 dancers and 4 weeks of preparation, but the effect is for you to decide)
