The T-Mobile Dance (Thanks PAT!)

Posted by James Published in Videos

This commercial was shot at the Liverpool Street Subway Station in London (15 jan ‘09). Only the dancers knew what was happening; the general public didn’t have a clue what was about to unfold.

That was awesome! Thanks James, I am full of cheer now!

I am so overwhelmed with emotion! I am hoping the people there feel like I do now – looks like a lot of people needed this as much as I did. I hope this is viral, I want it to cause infection everywhere!

I think it hit me the way it did because I single handedly started something quite like this at the Rolling Rock Town Fair when they still held the concert in Latrobe, PA out on that giant farmground and everybody had to be bussed in from the main roads. I was in line at the beer garden during a break (and for some reason they had no music playing during that break)feelin pretty festive and came up with this idea to say to my friend –hey — lets pretend we’re listening to the most awesome song we’ve ever heard and start dancing, just do it with me and see what happens – you know, like looking up in a crowd of people – monkey see monkey do. Well it didn’t take more than 45 seconds for other people to start dancing too. Before long almost the whole beer garden was dancing and laughing for no apparent reason in the silence other than to live in the moment and enjoy eachother. I have never before and never since felt so powerful even though almost nobody but the people near me figured out what happened. Just goes to show that you are more impressive than you think. So don’t be afraid to be yourself – and smiles really are contagious. I hope somebody reading this was at that concert and leaves a comment.

This was absolutely wonderful. There should be more of this type of thing. It really cheered me up. Thanks.

Thanks James that was awesome!
I can’t wait to show my husband because he works for T-Mobile and I am sure he will pass this on to his co-workers.
Thanks for sharing!

Wonderful. There was so much spontenaity that the person who stood out was a blonde haired women who just walked off and didn’t smile or anything (near the middle of the tape). I bet those travellers continued smiling throughout the day.

Brilliant!

dinesin said in February 25th, 2009 at 2:29 pm

That was OUTSTANDING! How fun. Let’s start this kind of spontaneity everywhere we go!!!!!

Grammie said in February 28th, 2009 at 4:32 pm

Awesome. I bookmarked it and have been uploading everyday at the start of my day. Wouldn’t you just love to have been there in the moment? Kudos to the creator, producer, all the dancers, and most of all T-mobile.

I wish that this could be organized in Toronto !!
I would be very interested in helping out cuz’ I know tons of amazing dancers who’d love to do this.
I’m so inspired by this. Incredible.
Love, love, love, love, and did I mention….LOVE it !!!!!

Too bad this never happens in real life, and that it takes an ad executive to pull it off. . .http://jfsdaily.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_evil.gif

Can we do this in Grand Central Station in New York City, man we could sure use some happiness!

Marie said in March 7th, 2009 at 8:23 am

I am a firm believer that a smile or act of kindness can change everyone. Have you ever seen so many smiles in one place??!! Can you imagine what a happy world we would live in if this happened just once a month everywhere-anywhere?!!!
This was fabulous!!!!!
A big thanks to James & T-Mobile!!

MONJ said in March 11th, 2009 at 10:08 pm

awesome! I put this video on my log! As i said on it, no wonder Sprint is going to the shit#*%! They have boring no thought provoking commercials! Just their million dollar-a-year CEO trying to sell their wares while he is busy laying thousands off!

MONJ said in March 11th, 2009 at 10:09 pm

whoops! I meant “blog.”

carpro said in March 13th, 2009 at 8:33 am

That made me feel like there is hope for this world yet. Leave all the governments out of the picture, and people will have good times with their fellow humans. GREAT COMERCIAL! thanks

UnintendedChoice said in March 13th, 2009 at 12:18 pm

Thanks for sharing this!

PLEASE GIVE KARA A INVATITION FOR THE NEXT DANCE……………………………… MGR

denniskelly said in March 23rd, 2009 at 2:21 pm

LETS DANCE SOME MORE ……

stephanie said in March 24th, 2009 at 12:28 pm

Just wish I had received this wonderful commercial this morning. What fun these people were having, made me want to join in, even sitting at my desk, I got into the grove. What a shame we don’t have more fun things happening in our world, especially here in the USA, everyone is busy wanting, buying, and not being happy until they have everything. This is better than money can buy.

WOW!

Judy Greene said in March 30th, 2009 at 9:36 am

With all the problems in the world today,I find it refreshing to see people having fun and joining in on a universal pleasure such as dancing. HAVE FUN!!!!!!!!!!
