New York is my hometown. The musical The Sound of Music is a staple in my home...
I saw this at HuffPost and all I could think was that this would be brilliant at Grand Central Station. Who ever wants to organize this...let me know...I'm there.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/04/12/sound-of-music-train-stat_n_186016.html A video of almost 200 people taking over Antwerpen's Centraal Station in Belgium and doing a carefully choreographed dance to the Do Re Mi song (aka Maria's Dance aka Maria's Song) from "Sound of Music" has garnered almost a million views on YouTube, and continues to grow, sprouting a new round of google trends today.

It's a publicity stunt for a reality show, but that doesn't seem to bother anyone, they just like it for what it is: a really cool, well shot video, that lets average people express their joy and talent and make those around them happy for a brief period. The producers chose the exact right song: one that harkens back to our childhoods, but also recalls Maria's unabashed upbeatness in the face of evil. We're in a global economic crisis, America's fighting two wars, there's genocide in Darfur, AIDs running rampant, and a pretty good shot that we could all be killed by bird flu in a year or two. We need this video.
Here's another one:

I realize that these two were for advertisements how about a well organized
dancing protest. They are fun, people laugh, and it will lighten the mood while still making a statement. While people are screaming T-bags....
We're dancing for a better tomorrow.
