Last September, Oprah Winfrey opened her 24th season on air with a special concert in downtown Chicago. The Black Eyed Peas performed their hit song "I Gotta Feeling' (if you're not sure what song it is, you will about 5 seconds into the videos below..). But as a special surprise to Oprah, they actually got thousands and thousands of people to participate in what is called a 'Flash Mob Dance'. What is a 'flash mob dance' you ask? Good question. Essentially, imagine a dance as a virus. One person starts it, and it slowly spreads to all surrounding people until everyone is involved in a highly choreographed dance, to the smiles and cheers of those around them. There are now tons of them on Youtube, but I've decided to post one AMAZING one that I recently saw.
Students in a school in Montreal, The Study, banded together to surprise their principal and teachers with their own version of the 'I Gotta Feeling' Flash Mob Dance. What amazed me is the incredible spirit every single student in the school shows in this video. We hear so much about issues in schools like bullying, schoolyard conflicts, misbehaving and disrespectful students and just about a generation that doesn't seem to 'get it'. Well watch this video and tell me if you think these kids 'get it'. I think you will be pleasantly surprised.
As a teambuilder by profession, I was humbled to see how hundreds of students can come together as team, for the purpose of school spirit, united simply by a song and dance. The video really shows the amazing power of TEAM.
(by the way, the original Oprah video can be seen below)
(Turn your speakers on and enjoy!)
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
