Usually, in a morning rush, we are in a race against time. We are all in a hurry to get to our destinations, though our senses are just half-awake. What we normally do to wake ourselves up is to sip a hot brewed coffee, right?
But have you ever been awakened by a flash mob at 7:30 in the morning?
Well, it did happen at the Central Station in Antwerp, Belgium wherein more than 250 people gathered to give the crowd a morning surprise. A surprise of a lifetime that they will never forget.
We often saw these kinds of acts before the pandemic.
Flash mobs are everywhere! It can be done in a subway, theme park, airport, seaport, and school, almost everywhere spacious! A
flash mob is often referred to as an act from a group of people who assemble suddenly in a public place, where they perform for a brief time, then quickly disperse as if nothing happened. It’s mainly for entertainment purposes, satire, and artistic expression.
But this time, it’s to promote Grease, the Musical.
They decided to give the people a teaser on their opening week. Grease is a 1971 musical by Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey.
“The show mentions social issues such as teenage pregnancy, peer pressure and gang violence; its themes include love, friendship, teenage rebellion, sexual exploration during adolescence, and, to some extent, class consciousness/class conflict.”
It’s a good thing that this 70s musical still has a strong influence on people from today’s generation.
And, apparently, a stronger punch than a brewed coffee!
Who would’ve thought that they’d do it that early? It was just an ordinary morning for the people who were set to go to their destinations and innocently minding their businesses that day.
In a YouTube video posted by Music Hall, hundreds of people were going inside and out of the train station.
Suddenly, a guy in a coat and fedora started busting his moves.
The crowd was stunned, but wait- there’s more!
As the music progressed, more and more people came down the hall to join in the act, and soon it was a full-on flash mob! The unsuspecting crowd was in total shock but they were all smiling in awe.
To immortalize the moment in their minds, most of them took their phones out and began recording the performance.
Pretty soon, there were already more than 250 talented people dancing!
It’s not every day that you get to see a flash mob, this big! If you are having a bad day, then a grand performance like this would definitely change your mood.
The sleepy heads that day were all shaking to the classic music and epic performance of the flash mob.
Everyone was on their feet and happily dancing!
It’s evident that they’re all thrilled to perform before the eyes of the people. They’re all proud performers, from all ages, and both genders! It’s a magical unison between them and the music.
And the online viewers were also entertained.
The video was uploaded 4 years ago. Surprisingly, there are still people who have watched the video just recently and shared their comments online.
“People are amazing. Why can’t we be more like this all the time, getting along doing something together regardless of age, colour or background. Love, peace and respect to all xx” one person said.
Another wrote:
“The world needs more happy things like this”
And someone else even said it moved them to tears!
“Nothing unites people like music. Brings tears to this old man’s eyes.”
We agree with the comments. We need happiness and love more than anything else, especially during these difficult times.
