[ExI] Train Station Dance

[Natasha Vita-More]

I prefer the simple sound track for the preformance. That is the beauty of
it. Philippe Glass is not right for this piece, especially a number where
people can learn the steps quickly.   

There was never any doubt that it was a planned sequence, in part.  I loved
that aspect of it.  I also love the way the bystanders joined in.  
 
Just enjoy it.

It's not emergent, it's faux emergent faux flash mob

"In a promotional stunt for a Belgian television program, more than 200
dancers performed a version of "Do Re Mi" - Flash Mob- style - in the
Central Station of Antwerp. They were able to pull it off with just 2
rehearsals."
