Gaines Street Flash Mob

In Tallahassee, the future center for creativity, culture, arts, entertainment and dancing will be the Gaines Street District. What better location than Gaines Street to tape a flash mob dance that illustrates that changes are coming and to spread the excitement?

In addition, the transformation of Gaines Street will mean mean more than a year of construction, traffic changes and inconvenience. This video is designed to help bring attention to the fact that the changes are beginning, but that the end result will be an incredible district near the heart ot the city. And what's more, the video features more than 150 volunteers who gave hours of their time to be a part of the Gaines Street Flash Mob!

Please share the video with friends and family to help spread the word that changes are coming to Gaines Street!

can someone tell me what the song is that they are dancing to? i'm kind of digging it :)

[WCOT]

@corinnajune It's called Ramalama (Bang Bang) by Roisin Murphy.

Furthermore, the dancers for this production were made up of ordinary Tallahasseeans from all sectors of the population and included Seniors, students, city workers, and children. Most of them were challenge to participate outside of the comfort zone by either dancing steps beyond their skill level or collaborating with people outside their social circle. It was difficult but they did it anyway.

Everyone of those participants is impacted by a bad economy and yet they put aside their real concerns to join together to do something positive as a community. Before you measure out your next uninformed assault on City Hall's alleged waste of money, why don't you look in the mirror and ask, "What am I doing or saying to inspire my neighbors show the best of themselves?"

This video perfectly embodies Tallahassee! The full extent of its creativity, culture, and art.

Can't wait to leave.

crock of shit

The area is already a center for creativity, culture arts and entertainment. anyone who hangs out there already knows this. this renovation has severely f---d things up by bringing traffic to a screeching halt just to make the side walks super huge...wtf? they are planning on destroying the culture and creativity that already exists in the All-Saints district just to make it a big time money center for the well
