For our latest mission, we set up a 2-foot tall platform in Bryant Park with an attached sign that read “Dance Captain Wanted.” When random New Yorkers stepped on the platform, our mob of 100 dancers copied their every move.
Enjoy the video first and then go behind the scenes with our mission report and photos.

I’ve had this idea in my head for about 5 years, and it was really fun to finally realize it. Lately I’ve been particularly excited by concepts that allow random people on the street to take center stage. In many ways, this project is a sequel to our 2013 mission Conduct Us, where we gave random New Yorkers the chance to conduct a world class orchestra. Although one big difference is that while almost no one knows how to conduct, lots of people have great dance moves in their back pocket.

















Mission Accomplished
