The crowd at the Oprah taping in Chicago did a special dance to the Black-Eyed Peas live performance of the song, “I Gotta Feeling.”
Here’s my video of the choreographed dance recorded from the Tribune Tower’s 14th floor.
As the crowd was doing this dance to “It’s gonna be”, it struck me how similar it is to video that went viral a few months ago, “Sasquatch music festival 2009 – Guy starts dance party.” In this video one guy is dancing and then eventually a few people join, then the whole crowd joins. I love this video for its spontaneity and fun. Makes you wonder if the choreographers found inspiration in this video and applied the same idea to their dance.
Youtube user awayaday recorded a video that gives insight into the complexity of the choreography behind the dance at the Oprah show.

I hardly fall in love with the first dancing girl! Wow….she’s so…WOW!!! Lovely energy!! Please someone help me to know/meet her ! !
The only thing that bothers me is seeing oprah’s face and act as though this is something real and not a planned event.. i enjoy the video where this kind of thing happens spontaniously.. when i first saw the video i thought it was cool but something wasn’t right about how well the people knew the routines and how in sync they all were.. it just had the same kinda stink that someone standing up… Read more »
