Mobile Clubbing at Pacific Central Station 3 pm on March 7, 2009
There was about 35 of us yesterday at the Pacific Central Station. We danced inside for about 8 minutes before the security guys lost it. We then moved to the park in front of the station. It was fun, it was cold, it even snowed! It was great to welcome people just off the bus or the train with a dance party.
This silent dance party was organised using Facebook by Dustin Q., Jimmy D. Julie M. and Darcie F. for information or documentation on the event you can check it out at
Dance and publicity…
A phone company decided to use dancing and the idea of a surprise dance performance in the public space to promote their product. People are dancing in unisson and both the dancers and the public seemed to have a lot of fun.
“At 11 o’clock on Thursday 15 January around 350 people broke into a choreographed dance routine in London’s Liverpool Street Station for the shooting of a new advertising campaign …”
I am finding myself in an interesting dilemma… I salute the choice of more diversity of physical expression in the public space but I don’t want to tag the name of the company on this blog…

Mobile Clubbing at Central Library, Vancouver on April 27, 2008
Dancing in the hall of the Central Public Library building was fun. It was quiet, not too much pedestrian traffic and not many dancers. We were just 3, with 2 more about to join, when we were asked to stop. That was a first for a Vancouver Mobile Clubbing session. We managed to dance for about 3 songs.
Mobile Clubbing April 27 1:06 pm Central Public Library
LOCATION: Sunday April 27, Vancouver Central Public Library 1:06 pm
You are invited, invite your friends.
Mobile clubbing is where a (small) group of people meet together in a public
place and put
on earphones and over the course of a set period of time just dance to a
personal stereo.
Each person listens to whatever music they want to (each different), and they
dance.
These are the only instructions:
- arrive at location at a given time
- start dancing to your personal stereo to the music of your choice
- spread out in space as that will prevent us from being asked to leave
It will be great!
P.S. There is a great free dance performance at noon, same location.
