Bay Area Flash Mob - Janet Jackson Rhythm Nation

bay area flash mob performing janet jackson's rhythm nation at union square san francisco on 4/1/12. please excuse my shaky hands and lack of focus. its hard to focus while you're dancing along :)

[@StRick1013]

The choreography for this song is extremely intricate and ALL of you did a GREAT JOB...!!! PLEASE don't let any"Haters" ruin this for any one of you...this is great!!!

[@lacyinmon1004]

I agree with you

[@hasnizamanaf4050]

regular people doing complicated professional dance moves. awesome job guys. this choreo will never get old.

[@Sharonformation]

learning this choreography is on my bucket list 😃

[@morganmarcella47]

Same

[@sephora69420]

same ahhaha

[@LL-fd7xn]

I heard The whole Rythmn Nation 1814 choreography was/still the most challenging out of Janet's dance encyclopedia. Anthony Thomas and Terry Bixler, I salute both you two!

[@whatskickin5989]

Im seeing alot of repeatable segments, last part is definitely harder as its totally unique to the rest, but over all... itd probably take a month, maybe two to learn

[@jessiklopez745]

RHYTHM NATION IS THE BEST COREOGRAPHY EVER.

[@burlhorse61]

yep it is-very hard to copy

[@coonalisa230]

'Thriller' says hello.

[@arifnjful]

second to thriller

[@kanagawayarichin]

Jessik Lopez liderian girl 3rd

[@artisthonyajta]

Thrillers choreography is not even close to this..

[@m.cunningham9817]

Great attempt. One of the most iconic choreography in modern history of dance

[@antoniop3726]

All the artists could follow Janet Jackson as an example in how to present theirselves alive in the programs and concerts. Janet has always a detail, a surprise, so difficult dance steps and singing very well at the same time. She is incredible and complete!!!

[@patriciasaenzmendoza4279]

I remember the first time when I had seen the video. It blew me away. I ain't never seen anyone dance lyke that. Or as gud as Janet. N can't no one do it like Janet n Michael. The best duo ever.

[@tyhliaaaa]

9 years later and I’m still watching this dance on repeat😂

[@kat35lulu88]

Check out Joseph Gordon levitt on lip sync battle!!!!!

[@Darrick.DamitaJoBoy]

Janet fans representing! I LOVE it. Everybody who watches this should send it to Janet's Twitter page so she can take notice and see it. Good job guys!

[@StacieMcClung]

Absolutly!! We know she'd love it. Thanks for bringing us together

[@xSmileyyx94]

You guys killed it!!! You all danced the entire song it was amazing 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@stopbunsen]

So the actual choreographer for the Rhythm Nation dance taught these guys. That's pretty cool.

[@brunaraposo7186]

Timothy Cole the person who made this choreography was michael jackson

[@Dragonfly-0010]

No it wasn't it was choreographer Anthony Thomas.

[@stopbunsen]

There were about 3 or 4 moves that were taken from a dance Michael did, but that's about it.

[@jerrydenny2877]

So did vouge Madonna and triller by MJ its the coregrapher who invented the hype.ridiculous how Janet hater trying to discrediting her much

[@jerrydenny2877]

And the coreographer for vouge not even invented the move Madonna steal it from black gay community without give them credit and royalty

[@lawschoolpro]

so good brought a tear to my eye.

[@Aries16603]

Pass me a black uniform with 1814 metal name plates, matching boots and a baseball cap. ♡♡♡♡♡

[@angeljohnon9251]

lol

[@D3vilB4sket]

Same

[@dericktriplett2178]

Omg I never seen that performance. I'm 48 years old, and my twin brother, and a young lady name Renita Bartlett and I did a Rhythm Nation Performance back in 1990 for our Graduation Ceremony. It was epic because we knew that dance routine.

[@alizeica519]

Does she happen to have two kids? One named keegan and the other jacie?

[@jamezhall2066]

I GIVE YOU GUYS PROPS! THE CHOREOGRAPHY IS VERY PRECISE AND NOT EASY TO LEARN UNLESS YOU'RE TAUGHT. WERK DAMMIT. GAVE ME GOOSEBUMPS!!! RN1814

[@LL-fd7xn]

I heard it was Janet's toughest choreography to date!

[@rachbrod8639]

Except the whooping and hollering from the person behind that was brilliant

[@1982Germerican]

This was awesome but I'm laughing so hard because there's always that one person who just couldn't learn the moves lol

[@shoparroundtt2949]

Amazing.... I don't know how they got all the people to learn this... Amazing.

[@scootermom1791]

This group is absolutely fabulous! I hope Janet Jackson has been able to watch this video. I'm sure she'd be extremely impressed by the talented dancers. Wow! I miss flash mobs like this. So fun! 🙂🙂🙂🙂👏👏👏

[@tonystheclick]

So very awesome!!! Janet would be proud!

[@unbelieberman]

I personally think the dancers appreciate the "woos" from the audience. Crowd appreciation = not a bad thing...

[@microjacksonnao9034]

I feel nostalgic. This music reminds me of the old days. ❤️❤️❤️

[@ralphtrujillo4046]

THEY WORKED THE HELL OUT OF THIS!!! JANET WOULD BE PROUD

[@garrettmcqueen]

Damn they busted that Running Man! Best part of the routine!! That was dope.

[@ladyteeeee670]

This is the best thing I have see in my life.

[@worldmadness2566]

First time seeing this video. You guys did an AWESOME JOB!!!

[@darkstorm62]

the girl in the middle and the guy next to her with the suave form of the jacket were the best ones from what i seen

[@pingyentan3114]

darkstorm62 That's why they are in the centre.

[@latinadoll74]

Obviously they are not trained professional dancers. They were not in sync and most of them looked really awkward trying to dance, BUT they did their best! They had fun and that's what counts. No to many would have the courage to dance in public and dance to a Janet Jackson song. I applaud the effort. Good job everyone! 👏👏

[@Jennifer-cz2if]

Everyone has to start somewhere!

[@brightstarlit]

🙄 oh please they did great, stop trying to take away from that.

[@gaylemalone5897]

Your kidding They were awesome

[@latinadoll74]

@@brightstarlit I'm actually a trained dancer 20 years plus so I'm not talking out of my ass. They did the best they could. I enjoyed it.

[@pavlovahernandez747]

This was great! But no one can do it like Janet and the original team! I can’t wait to be like Janet when I grow up I’m 11 😘😘😊😍

[@filmladyproduction]

Yesss! Y'all made my Morning! Flawless in one of the Baddest Hardest Dopest choreographic routines. Would loved to have been in that one. Hats Off! I know Janet is proud of this one.

[@bethepperson5363]

Have always been Michael fan, BUT bigger Janet fan. This is awesome!

[@TayWoode]

Same here, I get weird looks when I say I love them both but Janet more

[@michetaylor5147]

[@comicchef2924]

That's awesome! :) Takes a lot to coordinate that... well done

[@ona907]

this is awesome great job!

[@Neicy1996]

The guy at the front was defiantly the best but it was all round good, can't imagine trying to learn this!!!!!

[@shon7425]

Janet inspired so many. But they don't give her the credit and respect she deserves

[@lindafukuyu5767]

I'm deaf after hearing that girl screaming on top of her lung right in front of camera. My Gosh !!

[@richardmeadows8361]

I know this was many years done and is now saw this WOW to me this was awesome I want of Janet Jackson was there anyway if she wasn't this was a great show of a foreman of doing this song he's one of my favorite singers as well in a couple years. Finally got to see her after all these years in Florida and she put a great show on my pain is your not getting older you're getting better and I think she did a great job my opinion thanks to all these people that may just happened down there this was awesome thanks for the viewing of the video here this was great to all have a safe day and these times and still go Janet

[@kristoball-_-3890]

im doing this at school in February for Black Histoy Month

[@samarrea3004]

I'm doing this for the talent show

[@glympftglympft5516]

Could someone explain the concept of black history month to a german. Because we don't have jew history month and you also don't have native american month, you have to be kept in captivity for generations to get a history month, just being slaughtered and banned to reservations doesn't cut it?

[@ldominoOG]

its three years ago but i would love to see it :D

[@anonnyanonymous4800]

@@glympftglympft5516 In America, there’s a Native American Indian Heritage Month and a Hispanic Heritage Month. Plus, a Black History Month. But there is NO white history month. There never will be.
