Yesterday was a beautiful day and so at lunch time I decided to take advantage of the warm weather and have my lunch outside. I was peacefully eating my lunch with a friend of mine when all of the sudden, out of nowhere, we started hearing REALLY loud music. It was Michael Jackson’s hit song “Beat It.” Not only was there loud music but suddenly a hundred or more people were dancing on the steps to the song. All of these people did  the choreographed dance to the song. After the song ended all of the people who were dancing just disappeared. I was so surprised, a lot of people who were like me and just having there lunch outside joined in the dancing. I don’t know the steps and I was too surprised to join in!      

 

When I got back to my office, I saw an article describing this impromptu (spontaneous) dancing. It started in Hong Kong where Michael Jackson fans played tribute to him with planned flash mob (a large group of people suddenly appear in public) performances. They started in Hong Kong but they have spread to Montreal . Has it spread to your part of the world? I have attached the article and also a YouTube video of the dance that I saw yesterday.
