"Would love to have info on how they got organised, who they are."
Well it was pretty easy for them.. it was a publicity gimmick for the upcomming opening of staged version of The Sound of Music. If I remember correctly they only had a few days of practice.
It's certainly become a pop phenomena (we get so many of them these days, due to the internet -- Warhol's 15 minutes of fame has become exaggerated to our Mayfly attention spans).
So... I don't know if you're really all that interested or not in these kinds of public performance art events but here's an interesting one that happened in a mall food court in LA: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkYZ6rbPU2M
And here's the web site of a group who plans and executes these kinds of "Happenings" (for those who remember the '60s and actually were there) all over the U.S., if you want to see how they did it, see more, or want to get involved too: http://improveverywhere.com/
Even more popular are the "Freezes"... have you seen them? Here's the one done at Grand Central Station in NY: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=koYt0TE0H2w
And the BIG one done in Paris at the Metro -- NY only had a couple hundred... How about a few THOUSAND?!: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtUNj2BNTsU

Would love to have info on how they got organised, who they are.
Oh, what a wonderful happening !!!
Thanks Eolake, for finding this :-)
Thanks T-Mobile-Dance for this great idea and realisation !
It makes me smile ...
Walter
There's still hope for us all !
Just thinking what exactly to comment I saw the captcha = "gutest" ...
Funny, this is the grammatically correct form of "the best" in German, used only in a humorous way ;-)
So, some synchronicity is working.

Aniko, click into the runnig movie to reach all the answers you want at ... youtube ...
You got it, Neeraj,
mein Gutster :-)
A friendly, familiar word:
grrrammar: gut, guter, gutest
regular grammar: gut, besser, (am) besten ... bla-bla
Nur die gutsten* Tänzer durften mitmachen. Die Guten mussten zusehen, während die besseren schon mal ihre Hände in die Luft heben durften.
*= the first 'e' from 'gutesten' is eaten ;-)
For correct form replace 'gutsten' with 'besten'.
... hope your smile is still alive.

mein Gutster :-) ...Sächsisch?
:-) is still alive ... (why not?)
wenn sächsisch eine eigene Sprache ist, dann ist es dort ein elementarer Bestandteil !!!

Thank you very much.
I'm also not sure if my interest holds under continued exposure to this kind of thing, but I'll check out these.
Interesting.
My 'surrogate' uncle thinks a woman passing by looks like my mother. Actually, my mother resembles Julie Andrews but sings more like Patsy Kline.
They say I look just like my mother. I sing like Julie Andrews however. Just goes to show, every American is a multi-racial mutt of some sort.
I enjoyed the dance! Thank you T-Mobile...
