Wow what a way to make miserable, tense,stressed out travelers smile and relax. Great job.
dear glen miller, thanks a lot. you rock. love, the 40s and those who think this swing is alive.
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 !
Loved it!!! My parents met a dance during WWII in England. I always love watching them dance!
What an amazing community we have! Thanks everyone who participated and supported! That was so fun!
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.
We need more airport entertainment, especially over the holidays, look at the crowd they gathered!
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 why i love Denver and the DIA :)
great fun.such good dancers.i'm still smiling.
Wonderful music, love it to see people dancing, it`s vitality pure.
This totally put a smile on my face! The kids are great!!
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!
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 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!
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!!!!
WHO SAYS TODAY'S YOUNG PEOPLE DON'T KNOW HOW TO TEAR IT UP!!!! THAT WAS GREAT!!!
this is just unbelivably amazing i love these songs great amazing dancing
Well done and with a great choice of music..Swing music ..I love it!! :)
Super flash mob.....great music.
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?
@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.
So many smiles!
Loved it! Took me back seventy years to when I could dance like that!... BHB, 86 this month!
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. :)
Love it! I would love to be somewhere where people break out dancing.
Dont think I can smile any harder. you could just feel how much fun the dancers were having
wigglietail2008m an 75 now, bad knee, but used to dance this many years ago, so much fun
That was freaking awesome!! hope that happens the next time I catch a flight!!!
i CANT wait for dancing to come full circle!!!
STOP WITH ALL THE NEGATIVITY! Enjoy this for what it is - a very enjoyable performance meant to make everyone's day a little brighter.
this is about the second one i have seen that is a great one
Love this. The dancers were incredible.
I loved this video! You don't get to see too many flash mobs with couples dancing together and it was a real treat! Great job!!!!!
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
Was fab video, glad I got it before the music publishing creeps killed it.
Man they never flash mob at airports I'm at. This was fabulous!
Excellent!!! A trip to the past. I loved it
This is fantastic! Wonderful dancing and lovely tunes! xx
Beautifully done! thank you.
I'm surprised the TSA flunkie goons didn't break this up.
Makes me smile every time
Just amazing
Just imagine some international traveler arriving like "Wow so this is what it's like in America... people just dancing"
Still the BEST flash mob EVER.
this is the best flash mob i've seen. so fun
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.
outstanding!!! choreographed spontaneity. What a concept.
loved it. great job guys and gals. way to shake it
I love watching flash mobs.
That was my 7th grade science teacher in the white t-shirt and black hat :32 , i never new he was such a great dancer!!
delightful. thx 4 posting. we all need a flash of sheer happiness :)
My birthday :) loved it Denver is my favorite city
I love this video
It is things like this that restore my faith in kids today.
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!!!!
Why am I never around when things like this happen?
Every single person who disliked this was someone who missed their flight because of it. Why couldn't anything like this happen on one of the many times I flew to Denver?!
Fabulous!
awesome. spontaneous dance brings joy!
Awesome job everyone!!
usually when i look up flash mobs the dancers are ok but WOW they are really good dancers!! :o
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!
Awesome !
TO douglasokc
I have found that snobs don't dance. Maybe you should practice and quit throwing daggers.
TO the Denver Swing Mob ------BRAVO
Swing dance is difficult and exhausting and yet so beautiful.
Wow! What an inspiration. Thank you.
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!
This is so awesome! Wish I could be there too!
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.
Soo cool, wish I could be at a place when this breaks out. Loved it!!!!!
Congrats!!!... im jealous i never learned to dance like that.
i am smiling they are smiling why cant the world work like this
I'm late for the plane because there was a flash mob swing dancing in the main entrance...really...I'm not lying!!!
Fantastic! Great dancing, good music. I love it.
That's funny, my dad told me about this. He works there. Awesome.
Our teacher always said, "the first rule of dancing. .is to SMILE!" Best advice ever! Yay for swing!
Niceee!! one of the best ones i've seen yet.
The third song is "Sing, Sing, Sing (With a Swing)."
i was in that
I wish I could have been there to see it!
the chick with the orange hair is my favorite
love love loved it!!! :D
nice to see the young ones of today dancing like their parents and grandparents did....this is dancing!!
Did the charleston! Awesome xD
This is on my bucket list...! 1) Witness a random flash mob. 2) Be a part of a random flash mob!
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!
so fun!
brilliant! brilliant! brilliant! absolutely loved the moves, the co-ordination and the poses held at various times. choreography and execution was beautiful to watch.
Great stuff. :-)
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.
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
Would have been fun if someone had joined besides them
i was in that
great performance. a joy to see spectators come alive !
for all the haters... "Flash mobs are a specific form of smart mob, originally describing a group of people who assemble suddenly in a public place, do something unusual and pointless for a brief period of time, then quickly disperse. The term flash mob is claimed to have been inspired by "smart mob".[7] However, "flash mob" has been used by news media to refer to nearly any form of smart mob." Just sayin... Its hard for people to understand good taste. Especially when they have none..
That is how you flash mob!
awesome! is all I can say you kids did a fantastic job!
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!
I love this song and they did a great job! Love to see this kind of thing, it's happy and positive!
I'm 65 and never could dance like that. HA!
this is beautiful. unification of the human race starts with what we all have in common, music and comedy.
Lindy Bombing FTW
