"Puttin' On the Ritz" - Moscow Style

I don't know exactly what it is about flash mobs that are so fun and uplifting. Maybe the appearance of spontaneity--or at least the wholly unexpected, welcome and joyful uplifting of the spirit. Anyway, I love them. And this one from Russia via youtube and friend Alan P. is the largest, most intricate and invloved I've ever seen. Enjoy.



And to think that in 2012 young folks in Moscow would put on a flash mob dancing and singing, acrobats, wedding party and all, to an 83 year old American song written by Irving Berlin, a Russian-born American Jew. A long time coming, but it rekindles hope. And doesn't hope always fall to the new generation?
