Just to warn other people who might feel the same way as I do about this stuff - this is a highly choreographed dance routine for the purpose of viral marketing a credit card. It's not spontaneous or altruistic at all.

If you like musicals, glee etc you might enjoy it?

... and the marketers scrape the last vestiges of soul off one more source of pleasure.

Heh.. dem killjoys.

It looks like fun, but definitely not original. I saw a similar video in the London subway a year or two ago.

Flash mobs are becoming so commonplace that it almost wouldn't be a surprise if it were to happen around me.

I know, it's the dancing and choreography I was hoping that people would enjoy :D

No one would think for a moment that it's spontaneous.

When I saw flash dance in the thread title I thought it was a flash mob type thing, where people organise something on little notice and for no reason other than to surprise and entertain people. That's why after watching it I was unimpressed that it was a viral marketing attempt.

Certainly it was only an attempt, I knew it was well rehearsed but I still have spotted what product they're promoting!!! So it wasn't a very good marketing attempt ... it's only the - well rehearsed - choreography that I noticed :D
