Giant dancing flashmob at The Trafford Centre

MORE than 400 students took part in the biggest flashmob ever at The Trafford Centre this week in a bid to boost the image of youth in the northwest.
The performing arts students from the Pendleton Sixth Form Centre of Salford City College, performed a unique, choreographed routine put together by tutor Hannah Paice. Lasting for four minutes, the performance was set to a sound-track of music clips from the last 30 years - including Michael Jackson and Bon Jovi.

[@MightyLittle1]

I just watched this video 4 times in a row, and although I've watched it a few times in the past, it never gets old. So glad I found it again!!!

[@elizabethcraigtomlinspn6222]

Absaloutley amazing, THANK YOU for cheering me up on what was a boring Saturday night in. Well done all.

[@carmesidance]

Congrats to Hannah!!!! Amazing work!!! Why couldn't we have done this ... I'm sure all 12 students could've made it this exciting. lol. how things change.... from about 40 dance students there to 400!!!! well done everyone involved.

[@chris-rfs]

Fantastic energy,people from all races giving joy to others. That is how it should be and these youngsters are a shining example of how young people can be. Great stuff!.

[@merrychild]

That's not a flash mob. That's a performance that just happens to be in a public place.

[@mysticwritr]

This is special. Makes me forget about everything for a moment and makes me wanna just dance!

[@mrslindydee]

love these flash dances. they shud be compulsory. they give such a happy feel to everyone.

[@mattarsenal10]

The brilliance of the uk and the north west! I live near Preston and I was there watching that on that day, I was even more astonished when I watched it on here! I love the uk!

[@RosieFbxAk]

Can't EVEN imagine the amount of organization a production this big takes. Major respect here. While I personally prefer the single song start to finish approach (as a spectator), knowing what your goal was for this arrangement I think it's quite fitting. KUDOS!!!

[@jeffvernando]

This is amazing! 2 months rehearsal and this is happened! Congratulations!

[@RayFilms]

i prefer it when the song doesn't change but hey this was awesome :)

[@tuks5068]

fantastic, only wish I couldve been there, well done Salford

[@OfficialCDJ]

Just saw this and began crying with pride. You guys are amazing. Makes me want to go back to Pendleton!

[@ash1973]

Brilliant, absolutely brilliant. Dancing spot on and edited by Simon perfectly.

[@gadger99]

Brilliant...Well done to the 400 people involved!!!!

[@havagoaffo]

i run a flash goup i watch all flash mobs and are a critic for all i write to the dancers and music to this mob was 99/100 the camera man was -10/100 need to see more of the peolpe who take the time to make this dvd but the music was 10/10 loved it xxx keep the good work up guys......very good music choice

[@kaylasturm9056]

This was seriously the most amazing flash mob I have ever seen. AMAZING WORK!

[@jordannaA]

I live in Manchester for 3 year and I miss it so much. The Trafford centre was a regular haunt and this was great, it brought back good memories. I loved the architecture of the building. Westfield in London just does not have the same atmosphere

[@youngmindedman]

very good! I remember when I use to have that kind of energy.

[@dorinemort6359]

Are flashmobs still a thing? I aint even gunna lie- I love 'em! I think one should happen every day in a major city around the world cause they make people happy

[@emilyandelvis4eva]

 Woah !  that was amazing ! Wish I had been therrrreeee 2 watch it 

[@MsCharliePie]

I am so proud to say that i am a student at salford city college and this was amazing. Gutted i was in college on that day but when i went shopping in the trafford centre on sunday they played this on the big screen in the food court and it was amazing =) well done to all the students involved you were awesome.

[@lisajh12]

Well done to all of you, you all worked so hard to put this together and practiced at midnight in Trafford Centre. Obviously they would have to rehearse it and obviously Trafford Centre would have to know if 400 pupils are going to suddenly turn up, as would their parents as they aren't just going to disappear at midnight on a week night until 1.30 in the morning and not have told their parents. You should all be very proud of yourselves, as should the hardworking teachers at Pendleton College

[@mews459]

I can't believe people are criticising this!!! It was brilliant!! As for the element of surprise, I'm sure that the MOTP there didn't know this was going to happen! So much thought and effort must have gone into this, let's give a great big round of applause to all the people involved...........and before anyone accuses me - I am in no way, shape or form associated with Pendleton College or the amazing students who performed this.............Well Done everyone!

[@adriandale9026]

you are all bloody brilliant! from a 41 year old Brummie... still smiling!

[@Gabetalent09]

This is so awesome! One of the best I've ever seen. I hope to one day be able to choreograph a flash mob and have it performed magnificently as this one was. Major props!!! It's extremely difficult to organize these things and this was beautiful!!!

[@selenaburke46]

That was amazing.One of the boys dancing looked like Draco Malfoy Durrung Harry's third year in the movie.

[@jayjames8556]

Selena Burke haha i thought this exact same thing!!

[@tobygoodger1560]

Absolutely gorgeous to share with everyone your amazing talents. I felt so moved by the atmosphere that you created and wished that I had been there to experience your day. Karen Goodger. X

[@Lakesgirl42]

Brilliant, ThankYou x

[@TheBadmanism]

LOOOOL that must have been amazinng !!!

[@anijanettedelahoyde1585]

It was way good! But the main room was so dark! It would have been nice to get right down there with the dancers in the video. From the distance I could hardly see what they were doing until they went to the other rooms where the dances were being performed. It is a shame that the video feed was not done well, especially after so much work!

[@AnaDufour]

It's the best flashmob I ever seen!

[@fictionfactory7164]

Awesome guys, wish I had been there.

[@kaitlinpeters5679]

That is so awesome. I wish my dance studio would do that!!!

[@kylenelowe4292]

best flashmob I've seen so far!! Congrats very well put together!!

[@DJZahrim]

Absolute genius, I love things like this, but if I was shopping I'd be either like "WTF!" and hitting people with my shopping bag.. ooooorrr I'd jump on the stage and join in... it could go either way!! Great work!

[@amandamills8185]

Absolutely amazing!

[@kkherra2009]

great performance guys this is great!!!!!!!

[@Patriot842]

I think it's wonderful to give people a lift and a short reprieve, from their normal mundane existence, in the middle of our out of control world.

[@Renee2383]

Gave me life! Loved it

[@linedancergal]

Fabulous! Love it!

[@averyerbland4961]

omg imagine how cool it would have been to be apart of that...that was awesome!!!

[@ChloeG28]

so happy to be involved in this!

[@MissTylerBlackburn]

This is freaking amazing !! : )

[@aanon5716]

love it every time !

[@onlyme18]

Good job Pendleton! Glad to know some of you. :) Kisses from Paris.

[@helenaSmithVocal]

People slating us need to pipe down. You've got to remember there's places the cameras couldn't go so anyone saying they're just on the stage it looks crap, no. There we're tonnes of people on the balcony too. Unfortunately videos don't necessarily give you the full effect, would be good if a time travel was real and you haters could actually be there in person and see how amazing it was. So much HARD WORK was put into this have some respect and quit with the negativity. So proud to be in this!!

[@mislele281098]

Oh MY GOD ! You are fantastic !

[@rengerrob]

I love that remix!!

[@edwardpowell4802]

Trafford Centre did not look like this last I was there, absolutely great

[@MeganLouiseHolloway]

[@Alyjudelovexx]

I was in it! Was fantastic, im proud to be a pendelton student! Well done everyone xx

[@MrGary1960]

One of the best flash mobs I've seen brilliant

[@Mlbcsw]

Thanks for that. For one, I didn't actually put anybody down. I didn't say I did or didn't like it and I am intelligent enough to appreciate the hard work that went into it. Don't put yourself out there in such a public way and expect everything to go your way and not have people challenging you to be better. I agree I don't think it was a proper flash mob and rock choir did it better. It was interesting and a bit different for the Trafford centre if not a bit of a cliche. I think if you looked

[@tonywood4764]

one of the best i have seen a long time :)

[@colmmurnaghan2890]

Loved this, so enjoyable :-)

[@jjmn1]
