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. - บันเทิง
I work construction 6 days a week, 27 years old male, yellin and gettin yelled at all day, and this just made me so happy. haha thanks for the smiles
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 !
Our teacher always said, "the first rule of dancing. .is to SMILE!" Best advice ever! Yay for swing!
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.
Loved it!!! My parents met a dance during WWII in England. I always love watching them dance!
Just imagine some international traveler arriving like "Wow so this is what it's like in America... people just dancing"
It is things like this that restore my faith in kids today.
Wow what a way to make miserable, tense,stressed out travelers smile and relax. Great job.
nice to see the young ones of today dancing like their parents and grandparents did....this is dancing!!
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 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!
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.
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 like..... How wonderful!!!!
Oh, my stinkin gosh...WHERE ARE THESE PEOPLE WHEN I NEED THEM?!?!?!?! Where is the time I would need to learn this? Sooooo glad young people still dance this way!!!
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!
i am smiling they are smiling why cant the world work like this
I can't think of anything that gives more pure pleasure to anyone than a flash mob. It pure joy to watch.
What an amazing community we have! Thanks everyone who participated and supported! That was so fun!
Hey teens of today. You think great grandma and great grandpa lived in boring times!? Think again. This is the music and dance of their day! =)
Excellent flash mob...only in America...land of the free, home of the brave. xxoo
Soo cool, wish I could be at a place when this breaks out. Loved it!!!!!
wigglietail2008m an 75 now, bad knee, but used to dance this many years ago, so much fun
Fantastic - love the swing version of a flash mob! This took incredible amounts of preparation - I did a flash mob last summer and we worked for a couple of months to get it all coordinated. Well done and Thank you!
great performance. a joy to see spectators come alive !
So nice to see these great hits being danced to like as they should and by young people who know how to dance. Not just two older women at a wedding doing the Lindy (sp?). This when dancing was dancing!
This is on my bucket list...! 1) Witness a random flash mob. 2) Be a part of a random flash mob!
It's amazing how some people can find something negative to say about anything ("about the troops...only performers...can't dance..." What a fun event to help brighten the day for travelers, friends & families - great job!
Flying is stressful and boring, this was absolutely fantastic !!!
great fun.such good dancers.i'm still smiling.
I love it, I'm pushing 80 and Love the spirit of our young people..
I've 'liked' it and put it on my facebook.. Thanks for the upbeat mood.
We need more airport entertainment, especially over the holidays, look at the crowd they gathered!
this is beautiful. unification of the human race starts with what we all have in common, music and comedy.
Wow!!! Really cool idea for a flash mob...the dancing was great! I'll bet some of the older folks REALLY thought this was the best but I'm 50 + I thought it was the best I've ever seen!!
Wonderful music, love it to see people dancing, it`s vitality pure.
So I'm not the only one who feels like dancing when at an airport!
brilliant! brilliant! brilliant! absolutely loved the moves, the co-ordination and the poses held at various times. choreography and execution was beautiful to watch.
How much fun is that! What a nice gift for the travelers passing through at that time, and for the rest of us who were able to view this video.
I love this song and they did a great job! Love to see this kind of thing, it's happy and positive!
dear glen miller, thanks a lot. you rock. love, the 40s and those who think this swing is alive.
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!!!
This folks is why DIA and the city of Denver are a world class city.
BTW 9 out of 10 Mums would approve of this type of club dancing.
So many smiles!
ALL of my favorite jazz/swing/big-band songs in ONE video.
YOU GUYS ARE AWSOME!!!!!!!!
This is why i love Denver and the DIA :)
Love the music. The dancers were super. This was a great way to take a littlebit of the stress out of holiday travel.
This totally put a smile on my face! The kids are great!!
Super flash mob.....great music.
I've always wanted to dance like that. I think I just decided to find a dance studio before it's too late. I'm only 47 but time flies faster and faster!
Congrats!!!... im jealous i never learned to dance like that.
@nynoah Couldn't agree more - I respect and admire our troops, but there are also many other things in life! I was fortunate enough to be a part of the mob, and we were just so excited to brighten people's days! The holidays can be a difficult time for many, and I hope this lightened a few moods.
Well done and with a great choice of music..Swing music ..I love it!! :)
This was very cool! Great for the passengers waiting for connections and a good image for the airport. Made a lot of people happy and that's a good thing. Keep them coming!
Look at all the smiles…. YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL !!!!!!!!!
That Was GREAT!
awesome! is all I can say you kids did a fantastic job!
Love it! I would love to be somewhere where people break out dancing.
I thought this was great. Looks like a really fun time. I just wish I could have been in Denver at the time to witness this in person. All the dancers looked like they were just having a grand time. Thanks to all the performers....you did good!
Going on the bucket list.
this is about the second one i have seen that is a great one
I love watching flash mobs.
This is the way we danced during WWII when the music was music & the singers sang so you could understand every word. The steps had names like the Lindy, Balboa, New Yorker, Truckin', & more. "In The Mood" my personal favorite. Our Sr. Prom was a Sock-Hop in the Boys Gym in the afternoon because of Blackouts. We had a lot of fun anyway. This Video is Fantastic. Did you see the smiles on their faces?
I seen flash mob in the line up. I enjoy watching them. I'd love to see one in person. None the less, I'm familiar with the dances, really enjoy that style of music (an era some have forgotten). I just posted it to Facebook, so that my friends who appreciate music and dance of this nature, to enjoy what I just did. Thanks for sharing.
this is just unbelivably amazing i love these songs great amazing dancing
America is the world of dancing.
Love this. The dancers were incredible.
Yeah for my hometown! Great music and terrific dancers. LOVED it.
I would certainly be one of those dancers!!!I wonder if anyone watching missed their plane!!!LOVE flash mob dancing.Everyone is too serious these days.Sometimes ya just gotta dance!!!!
I'm 65 and never could dance like that. HA!
I wish dancing was like this today. But no....its all about grinding, gangnam style, shuffling, etc.
I love the music, the energy of the dancers, just a great vidio! It's in my favorites.
I think it's great that someone would do this for free on a holiday weekend and help to reduce the stress at the airport. All thenaysayers need to join scrooge...Bravo to the performers and thank you very much.. I didn't even have to spend time at the airport this year and I enjoyed... Keep up the good work! Happy thanksgiving to everyone!
Thanks, Maud, for bringing back the great times we had in the 50s. Love and Light. Frank
Can't mess with those top comments, they're golden. This is fantastic though - beautiful dancing, and I love how much everyone is enjoying it! There are happy moments in life
Loved this ! Brought back memories !
Dont think I can smile any harder. you could just feel how much fun the dancers were having
Love this sooo much! Don't ever stop! I just wish I could witness one myself... ( : Love this generation of young people!
WHO SAYS TODAY'S YOUNG PEOPLE DON'T KNOW HOW TO TEAR IT UP!!!! THAT WAS GREAT!!!
beautiful...respectful and amazing
Thats the coolest one ever !!!!
Why am I never around when things like this happen?
This is so FUN! I wish my jazz choir would arange something like this somewhere. We have been learning swing dance and it's so fun. These people did great!
love the theme of this, old dances and good choice of songs, loved it
Just amazing
This was so much fun, and for the future people who won't read the entire info for the video ;) we were invited to perform in this. The Arts and Culture Program at DIA contacted cmDance and asked to choreograph and perform in the receiving area. The TSA was fully aware that this was going to happen. :)
Great! It's my home airport even though I'm living overseas, it was great to see it! I'd love to be in that flash mob!
i CANT wait for dancing to come full circle!!!
bravo way to go that's my home airport! :)
