1. How would you describe the onlookers as the first man and the girl started dancing?
What I think~ I think that they were shocked that someone actually started dancing.
2. As more children joined the dance, how did the crowd respond?
What I think~ I think that they were even more surprised, and that they sort of wanted to join too.
3. The "Do Re Mi" Song came from the Sound of Music, a Broadway musical and movie that came out in the late 1950's/early 1960's. Look up the history of this musical/movie and explain why you the the organizers may have chosen this song for the train station dance.
What I think~ I think they chose this song because they were trying to make the children feel happy, since the movie was made during World War II, and the Nazi's invaded Belgium.
4. Would you have joined the dance if you were at this train station? Why/why not?
What I think~ I think I would've, because it's a once in a lifetime chance, and it seemed fun!
5. Are you excited about learning a dance for our Global Connections Exhibit Night on Nov. 19th? Why/why not? Do you think you have to be a good dancer to participate?
What I think~ I think I am, because it would be cool for everyone to drop what they are doing and start dancing at the same time. No, aI don't think you have to, because it's all about having fun.
The history of 'Do-Re-Mi' song is from a musical and a film. 'Sound of Music'. Maria, the maid who is looking over the Von Trapp children, after losing their mother and the father who strongly forbids frivolity, or self indulgence.
In the musical and the movie, the song have gotten together the children and Maria, and have made them happy from the unaffectionate father's comments. So the 'Do-Re-Mi' song was played on the Belgium station in order to get people united together, to become one, and be happy.

1. The crowd was a bit surprised when the girl and the man started dancing because it's not everyday two complete strangers start dancing together in a train station.
2. When more children joined in, a few of the adults looked like they didn't approve, though most of the adults started to join in after a few seconds.
3. The Sound of Music was made to portray a family's life during World War II. This movie was trying to show children and adults that even if you know you have lost everything, good things can still happen. I think this song was chosen because it is a family oriented song and many people enjoy it.
4. If I knew the dance then yes I probably would have joined in. If I did not know the dance I would have done what the other people who were not dancing were doing, which was watching and clapping.
5. Yes I am excited to learn the dance for Global Connections because I have always wanted to learn Michael Jackson's Thriller dance. NO I do not think you have to be a good dancer to participate because 1) not everyone is a professional dancer and 2) most of the people up there aren't going to be the best dancers anyway.

When the first man and the girl started dancing the onlookers was a litle shocked. They looked liked they thought the girl and the man were weird.
When more people started dancing, the crowd became more interested. The crowd was smiling and looked like they enjoyed watching.
I think the organizers choose "Do Re Mi" because it is a happy song, and they wanted it to be a happy dance.
I don't think I would have joined the dancers, but maby just standing with the crowd, and dancing there.
I am a litle excited about learning a dance for global conection, but I don't think much about it. You don't have to be a good dancer to participate, but it would make you more comfortable if you are used to dancing.

1. I think the people there were like "what are they doing?" when the man and the little girl started dancing.
2. When more children joined the people were very surprised and they started joining too.
3.I think they chose the Do Re Mi song because it is very happy and energetic and probably because most of the people there knew the dance for it.
4. If was there I would probably not dance it, but I would video tape it like some of the people there did.
5.Yes, I'm excited about the thriller dance because its a cool song and the dance seems fun. I don't think you have to be a good dancer to dance because not everyone who dances is a professional.

when the dude and the little girl all the "onlookers" were like thats weird. i said that too but when i realized what they were doing and all the other dancers and the school kids came out i was like this is cool.
People were shock when the first man and the little girl started dancing. They were just like, what?????
The crowd started to join the children. And then everyone started dancing.
I would definitly have join in the dance if I was at that station; if i knew the moves to the dance. Because it seemed fun and I would not want to miss out all the fun.
Yes, I'm so excited to learn the dance for SMS Global COnnection. because I knew, what dance we're going to learn, and I can't wait to learn it because it's a popluar dance and i think it'll be cool to know the moves. I don't think you have to be a good dancer to participate. As long as you have fun and participate, that's what matter.

Sarah G. Smith Middle School, 8th
The people around them were surprised!
More and more crowd joined in and danced, they were shocked how many people started dancing, they wanted to join too!
I would have definatly joined, the people that were dancing looked very happy and they were having fun.
Very excited! I think I could participate, the dance looks fun, others may also know it and join in.
If I was in this train station I would definately join in to the dance because, there is nothing to be embarrassed about. In way joining the dance would show that you don't care what your doing but you are representing unity.
Yes I am very excited for the global connections dance, but I am not quite sure about me being a good dancer bu I dont really care.

Very excited! I think I could participate, the dance looks fun, others may also know it and join in.
The crowd looked very puzzled and wasn't sure what was going on when the first 2 people started danceing. The crowd got a little more excited when the other children joined in. I think the reason they chose it is because the play is based in WW2 and belgium was overrun by Nazis in WW2. I would have loved to join in on the dance. It looked like everyone was enjoying themselves very much. I am very excited for the dance this year. You do not have to be a good dancer to join in. Everyone can do it

I think that the crowd was shocked when they started dancing.
As more children joined the dance, the crowd seemed like they wanted to dance to.I think the organizers chose this song because it's a fun song to dance to and it took place during wars so it might've meant that we should stay together. I would've joined the dance because it seems fun. I am excited for the global connections night because it'll be lots of fun. and you don't have to be a good dancer to participate.

1. The people that were watching they man and the little girl start to dance looked very suprised, and at first had no idea what was going on.
2. I think the crowd finally realized that the students had choreographed the dance and that it was fun and quite interesting to watch because some onlookers brought out their camera's and cell phones to capture them.
3. The song was chosen to represent D-Day when German's attacked the Belgians, and the family in the Sound of Music fled form Austria to escape the Germans.
4. I would not have joined in the dance because i am not that great at following dance steps, but if my friends went in then they probably would have dragged me in anyway, but they look like they're having a lot of fun.
5. Yes, i think that learning any dance that represents another country besides your own is wonderful, and i am very excited to learn it. I think that no matter what you can dance to this song if your great or just okay, its not the dance that matters, its the effort put in to it.
The people that was there was confused, there were like what is going on? But when, more children joined in, the crowd reponded with delight. I would joined in because it seemed the people that were dencing seem to enjoy it. I am really excited for Glabal Connections because we are dancing "Thriller".I would participate but if I can learn it before Global Connections week.
1. People looked confused and shocked, that people were dancing in the middle of a train station.
2. I think they still were very surprised.
3. It is a very happy song that most people would recognize. It also has sentimental value to the Belgium people.
4. YES! Everyone one was having so much fun.
5. I'm so excited. You don’t have to be a good dancer, its all about having fun!!!

The spectators were somewhat skeptical, kind of interested, thinking” what are these people doing? ”, but as it continued, they became more interested and figured out what was going on. This song was probably picked because children think of it as a catchy song and adults remember it from the childhood story of the Von Trapp family. This makes it a bridge between generations. I would have tried to join in on the dance, but I would have waited to see how it was done. I am very excited because I love to dance but have never done it in a group. No, I do not think you need to be a good dancer. As long as you know the basic moves and you love it and enjoy it, you can follow along. Maybe the better dancers can lead it, but with that many, not everybody can be a great dancer.
Unfortunately, this was all staged. It was a publicity stunt for a reality show.
Here is an article about it.

The other people looked really surprised to see someone dancing. Others looked like they thought it was some sort of joke.
When more people joined it made it look like the people were becoming more interested and not as freaked out as at first.
I think they chose this song because it's happy and upbeat
I don't know if i would have joined the dance. I probably would have been really stunned and would have just stood there and watched.
I'm not really excited about learning the dance. You don't have to be a good dancer to participate
Jessica P. 8th Smith Middle
1.I think that at first the onlookers were very surprised to see people actually dancing when the music started. It was out of the ordinary.
2.After more people joined in, most of the crowd responded by joining in as well.
3.I think that the organizers chose this song because it was meant to be cheerful. The movie was about looking past what happened previously and be to happy about what you have left.
4.I probably wouldn't have joined the dance, because I don't know it at all, and everyone else looked like they knew what they were doing.
5.Yes, I am excited about learning Thriller for Global Connection, because I think it's a good way to show our unity as a school. No, you don't have to be a good dancer to participate, because it's not about being a great dancer, it's about having fun and at least getting the steps right.

The reaction of onlookers to the beginning of all the dancing was a look of shock. They were all completely taken by surprise. When more children joined the dance, the crowd became a little unsure, wondering what was going on and how so many kids seemed to know this dance. I think the song "Do Re Mi" was picked for this performance because it is a song of happiness and is very well known to majority of people. When people hear it, they become happy, and many have the irge to dance. If I was a part of this plan and knew the dance moves, I would have defidently joined this dance. However, if I was a surprised onlooker, I would have just stood by and watched in amazement. Yes, I think that learning the dance to "Thriller" will be very fun and something that a lot of us Smith students will be able to relate to, since a lot of us are learning the dance. I do not think you have to be a good dancer to participate. (Trust me, I wouldn't be participating if that was the case. ;) ) All you need is a positive attitude and motivation!
Katherine W. Seventh Grade- SMS
1.The onlookers were pretty amazed that these two random strangers would start dancing in the middle of a train station and they thought it was kind of funny.
2. The crowd still thought that they were crazy, but it seemed to the crowd that if all these children are dancing, then why shouldn't we?
3. I believe the organizers chose the song because it is very happy and has a very good musical beat to it. Also, the Sound of Music was a very popular movie that I used to love so more people would know the song.
4. Yes, because if other kids joined in, then I wouldn't be very embarrassed about it and the dance seemed like fun.
5. I am very excited to learn Thriller because I am a big Michael Jackson fan and it is one of the best selling songs ever so people will know it. I do not think you have to be a good dancer because first of all, we will learn it, and second, the important thing is to have fun.
1.) The onlookers looked as if they were in complete confusion to see and random man and girl dancing to a random song played on the PA.
2.) The parents were a little concerned but the other people were starting to be amused.
3.) Do Re Mi is all about a family in WW2 when they lost a lot. This song is very upbeat and energetic, it is a very happy song and all of the people dancing in coordination brought the unity feel to it, which symbolizes unity and happiness.
4.) Yes. I would dance, not because it would be fun, to promote unity in the world and compassion.
5.) I am excited. This is very unique and Smith students and faculty should be proud to do this because no other place in Chapel Hill is doing this sort of thing. You do not have to be a good dancer at all, this is to show compassion, not to show off dance moves. If you are bad at dancing, so what, you are still trying to show compassion, which is what global connections is all about.

When the young girl and the man started dancing everyone was really suprised. I don't think anyone was really expecting two people to randomly break out in dance. When more people joined the dance, everyones jaws literally dropped. In the Sound of Music this song is sung by kids with a very strict dad. it's a sign of hope, that they can have fun. This song also represents freedom to practice arts. I would join in if i knew the dance but if i didn't know the dance i wouldn't join in. I am excited for Thriller because i like to dance and it's easy to learn dance moves for me. I don't think you have to be a good dancer but you need to know the dance really well because if one person messes up then it pretty much messes up the entire dance and the formations and stuff.
Colin B. Smith Middle School
1. Nobody was expecting two people to randomly break out dancing, so they were very suprised.
2.I think they were all thinking about joining the dance.
3.I think they chose it for the dance because lots of people know it and its a song that says everything is going to be ok.
4.No I don't think I would have joined because I dont know the dance at all.
5. Yes i'm excited because eveyone else is doing it with me and i actually know the dance.
1. The onlookers looked surprised because two random people just started dancing.
2. People were laughing and taking pictures. They were still surprised.
3. They started getting into it and some joined in.
4.They chose this song because it is about a family during World War 2 being chased around by Nazis and suffering hardships.
5. Only if the company organizing this for an advertisement paid me.
6. I am okay with it. I'm not super-excited. I'm meh.

In the middle the song drastically changed style. That came as a surprise to me. The dancers noticed this, and adjusted their style to so. When they first jumped in, they were dancing to a tune they all new. When the music changed, they continued dancing but with the new music. This reflects school because, new challenges will always come up, and it takes dedicated people to come over them. At the end everyone came together for a grand-finale. That was kind of cool. It showed that they came together to do something they liked,even though they were complete strangers.
Shane T., Smith Middle School
The onlookers looked like they were laughing and pointing until they started doing to too.
The crowd responded by dancing to.
Thr organizers problably made this the train station dance because this movie takes place during world war II and parents used to send their children away in the train stations.
No because I do not know the dance.
I am excited because this has never happened at Smith before.

1. How would you describe the onlookers as the first man and the girl started dancing?
they would wonder why they are making a fool out of them selves, but then you'll say wow this is cool.
2. As more children joined the dance, how did the crowd respond?
I think that they would be suprised, how would you react if over 100 people started dancing to geather.
3. The "Do Re Mi" Song came from the Sound of Music, a Broadway musical and movie that came out in the late 1950's/early 1960's. Look up the history of this musical/movie and explain why you the the organizers may have chosen this song for the train station dance.
because tons of people are at the train stations almost all of the time.
4. Would you have joined the dance if you were at this train station? Why/why not?
I would not because i dont know the dance but i'd watch. I might though though because it looked kinda fun.
5. Are you excited about learning a dance for our Global Connections Exhibit Night on Nov. 19th? Why/why not? Do you think you have to be a good dancer to participate?
kinda it's a cool dance.
Kevin M. Smith Middle School,Chapel Hill NC
1)The crowd looked confused and suprised to see these people dancing.
2)When the children joined in there were some disaproving looks from the adults, but then some of them started to join in.
3)I think it was chosen to give off a lot of positive energy
4)If i knew how to do the dance then I might of.
5)I am excited because this song is very special and fun to dance to.
1. I think the onlookers in the train station were surprised that people were actually dancing to the "Do re mi" song.
2. Once the crowd realized that children were actually joining the man and little girl, they started smiling and more people joined.
3. The Sound of Music is a movie about the escape of a family from Austria because of Nazi persecution. It is a story of hope and believing that the future will be better. It is a good song to sing in a train station.
4.Yes, I would, if other people did it also.
5. It will be fun to do a dance during Global Connections, it would be very interesting.
6. No, you just have to be interested in the dance and have fun!
cate b from smith middle school
i think that when everyone saw the people start dancing people were pretty shocked but when they saw the kids coming the started getting more into the dance. Some people thought it was really cool because they started taking pictures and videos. I think that they chose this song because everyone has seen the sound of music and so everyone would be familiar with the song and dance. If i didn't know the dance i would not join the dance because I would not want to be the only one that didn't know how to do the dance. If I did know the dance I would probably join in because i think it would be cool to be on television. I am kind of excited to learn this dance because I like the dance in general and it is cool that we are all going to be in the main hallway doing this dance. I don't think you have to be that good of dancer to do this you just have to memorize the whole dance. Also, the dance isn't that hard to learn.
Amal m.
1. they looked at them like they were carzy for dancing.
2. as more people joined some people started dancing, but alot of them just watched.
3. i think they did it because it was a song that many people know and could possibly dance to.
4. i would join in because i love to dance ,and i pick up on dance moves quicly
5. yes because i loved the thriller video and i always wanted to learn it.
6. i don't think you have to be a dancer to learn how to do a scpecific dance.
I think that this is pretty awesome...and that we should do this sometime. In a matter of fact...we are doing this in Spanish,except that we are dancing to thriller! That is a cool dance. I can't wait till we dance this!
1.How would you describe the onlookers as the first man and the little girl started dancing? Well, everyone was like wow! What are they doing?
2.As more children joined the dance, how did the crowd respond?
They were like, well this is cool...i know this dance I think that I will join them since I know the dance.
3.Would you have joined in the dance if you were at this train station? Why/why not?
I don't think that I would of joined because i am not that outgoing...I'm kinda shy, sometimes.
4.The "Do Re Mi" song came from the Sound of Music, a Broadway musical and movie that came out in the late 1950's / early 1960's. Look up the history of this musical/movie and explain why you think the organizers may have chosen this song for the train station dance.
They chose the song because the song was pretty popular, and i guess they wanted to see what would happen if they played the song at the train station.
5.Are you excited about learning a dance for our Global Connections Exhibit Night on Nov. 19th?
Yes I am because i don't have to do work, and it gives you something not that boring to do.
6.Do you think you have to be a good dancer to participate?
No! You don't really have to be a "good" dancer,because if everyone is dancing if you make a mistake, then no one will really notice as long as you are on beat.
1.The onlookers at the train station looked confused and suprised. Some people even started dancing with them.
2.The crowd looked even more suprised but the formed a circle around the people dancing and started cheering or calling people to come see it.
3.The musical was filmed in Austria which and is near the train station. The song/musical was ment for pleasure and the people on looling were very suprised and happy.
4.I would have joined the dance because alot of people were dancing and it looked veery fun.
5.I am excited about the thriller dance for global conections.If everyone starts dancing it will look like the train station with everyone doing the same dance.
6.I dont think you have to be a good dancer because some many people would be dancing that people would not be able to see ypu r mistake.
1.
The onlookers were suprised and thought it was a little weird that a full grown man and his daughter were dancing,but after a while everybody thought it was ok and started to join the dance
2.
Everybody started to record and started to join the dance the people who didn't join laughed and danced by themselves.
3.
Everybody who was at the train station should have already known the song because the musical/movie was a very popular and that everybody at the station would have known it because children don't go on trains by themself ey would have an adult with them.
4.
I might have if i had the courage to go up there and dance it. I would also have to know the song.
5.
I am excited about learning a dance for the Global connection because it will give me enough courage because i know the song. :)
Hannah Smith
1.I think the people who where weatching where suprised that two poeple would actuly start danceing in the middle of a train station. i think they where also exited but at that point i think they felt that there wasnt enogh poeople danceing yet for them to join in.
2.I think the more people that started danceing the more interested the crowd became. I think that also the crowd was less nervous to join in so after more poeple joined it became huge.
3. I think maybe they chose this song because the sound of music was set in the time of nazis and war, so maybe they used this song becuase theres no more war so now they can be happy sbout that. also its a well known song and it would attract older people to because almost everyone has seen the movie.
4. i would have deffinitly joined in to the dance. It looked like everyone was haveing a great time. Also if u messed up no one would notice because there was so many people danceing.
5. I am really exited for global connections becuase everyone in the school can join in. Also thriller is such a awsome song that everyone knows about.
6. I don't think that you would have to be a good dancer at all. You have to know a little about the dance but if enogh people join in then if u make a mistake no one will notice.
McKenzie R.- Smith Middle School 7th
1. I think that the onlookers were very suprised when man and little girl started dancing.I would be very suprised if I was there.
2.They thought that it was petty cool. By the crowd response they reallly liked it. Most of the people were dancing on the sides.
3.I would have danced also if I was there because I really like to dance and I love the movie the Sound of music.
Gabrielle G.
1. The onlookers looked pretty shocked when the man and little girl started dancing. They were like, oh my gosh, their dancing to the song.
2. The crowd was kinda amazed as more people and kids started to dance.
3. I think they chose this song for the train staation dance because its a fun song to dance to or it teaches you something.
4. I think I wouldn't have joined the dance because I don't know the dance.
5. I am excited to learn a dance for global connections. GO THRILLER.
6. I would have to be a good dancer to participate.
1. The crowd was very surprised and bewildered as the man and the girl began to dance. they were also a bit disapproving.
2. They began to become intrigued and interested. some thought it was marvelous and others thought baa humbug.
3. they chose to do this song because it tells a happy story of a woman in Austria.
4.I would not have joined in because i do not know the steps but if i did i would join in.
5.
1.Onlookers definately looked very surprised because none of them were expecting to see people suddenly start dancing.
As more children joined the dance, how did the crowd respond?
2. The crowds faces literally dropped.
3. I think they chose this song because everyone has seen The Sound Of Music, so they would all know it. Also, because the movie was filmed around the time of the Holocaust, I think they chose that song as part of a tribute to the thousands of people that were killed during that time in history.
4. If I knew the dance to Do Re Mi, I would absolutely join in. It would be an amazing experience to be dancing together with all of those people that I had never met.
5. I am extremely excited to be learning a dance. I think that it will join us all together as a school and a community.I also think that it will be an awesome way to pay a tribute to Michael Jackson.
6. You most certainly don't have to be a good dancer to participate. This isn't about being a good dancer, it's about coming together and paying tribute to an amazing artist. It is also about Smith as a whole school to have a good time.
1. I would describe the onlookers as surprised and confused. Some even seemed intrigued.It's not something you see everyday so to the onlookers it was unexpected.
2. The crowd began to smile and cheer as the children and more people began to join in.
3.The song, "Do-Re-Mi", was created during the time of the holocaust, therefore I think the reason the dancers chose this song was to pay tribute to all the lives that were lost during that time.
4.I would have joined in if I knew the dance because it seemed like a lot of fun. Why not, we only live once!
5.I am very excited about learning a dance for Global Connections because it's a fun way to keep everyone involved! Also, I've always wanted to learn the Thriller dance!
6.No, if you want to participate just do it. No one can tell you no. Even if you mess up or can't quite move like the more experienced dancers, don't care. Just have a good time!
I think the onlookers were really suprised that the two strangers randomly started dancing.
As more children decided to join in everyione decided to dance all together.
I think they chose this song because it was for memory of Maria Von Trapp and Michael Jackson
Yes i would because it looks like it would be fun and entertaining.
Yes i am because it shows Michael Jackson respect.
Yes and no because you dont want to make a mistake and no because there is a mix of real dancers who kno it and ones who dont.
How would you describe the onlookers as the first man and the little girl started dancing?
I think they knew each other already and had it all palnned out.
As more children joined the dance, how did the crowd respond?
When the people saw that more children participated they also participated and everyone stares dancing.
The "Do Re Mi" song came from the Sound of Music, a Broadway musical and movie that came out in the late 1950's / early 1960's. Look up the history of this musical/movie and explain why you think the organizers may have chosen this song for the train station dance.
They chose this song because the film was in memory of Maria von trapp and the triller dance is in memory of michael jakson.
Would you have joined in the dance if you were at this train station? Why/why not?
Yeah i would of if i knew the dance and i would of totally would of becaus eit looks like it was lots of fun.
Are you excited about learning a dance for our Global Connections Exhibit Night on Nov. 19th?
Yes i am because we can show other people that we ike to dance and do fun things.
Why/why not? Do you think you have to be a good dancer to participate?
Because then who ever sees you dancing right tehy will be very impressed and would like to join.
1
At first they wondered the reasoning why they would do that dance in the middle of a train station,and were kind of shocked.
2
They danced along a little; and stoped and stared as well. then they decided to go along with it,
3.
The song was a song of hope, right around when they reeally needed it. it was right around the time of the war. It was filled with alot of positive energy for everyone to see when they needed it. And a contribution to the people that sereved in the war.
4.
If i knew the dance, ofcourse i would! It would be so fun and entertaining!
5. I personally am, I think everyone will be shocked. That hundreds of kids know the dance!
(:
6.
I do not think so! I mean as long as you have a good time and it is not like everyone will see your exact mistake if there is hundreds of students doing the dance.
The onlookers looked suprised and confused when the first two people started to dance.
The crowd loved it and they were very entertained when more people goined the group.
I think the song was chosen for this train station because the movie was during the time that World War 2 was happening.
Yes, if I knew the dance I would join in because it seemed like everyone was having a great time.
Yes, it is such a good idea to have the students in our school dance the Thriller during Global Connections.
As long as you are having fun it doesn't matter if you are not a very good dancer.
1.They were suprised and then they started doing it with them.
2.All of the adults started to dance with the children after they were watching.
3.I think they picked this song because it has been on Broadway so it is know worldwide.
4.Yes,because everyone else was doing it i didn't want to look stupid.
5.Yes, because I love the song and the artrist.
6.think you don't have to be a good dancer because everyone was just having a good time
1. The onlookers looked really confused and looked like they had no idea what the first man and the little girl were doing when they started to dance.
2. The crowed responded with themselves joining in and dancing with the man and the little girl, and as they joined in, more people started dancing.
3. The "Do Re Mi" song originally came from an advertisment. The organizers may have chosen this song for the train station dance because it is a pretty simple song to sing and the good singers in the musical can hit the high notes.
4. Yes, because if a lot of other people were doing the dance, than I would join in because I wouldn't want to ruin the dance and I would look idiotic to other people.
5. Yes, because it is one of the greatest dances of all-time and it is fun to learn.
6. I don't think you have to be a good dancer to participate because you just need to memorize the moves and the choregraphy of the dance to participate.
1. I think that they were a little surprised when the man and the little girl started to dance.
2.They were all surprised.
3.It's a show tune from the 1959 Rodgers and Hammerstein musical The Sound of Music during World War II, and the Nazi's invaded Belgium.
Wow, they look really wierded out, like they cant beleive they're actually danceing. Kin of like, woah, they know it too, and, heyyyyy, i think im gonna dance, that looks fun!Maybe because it kinda brings people together...I'm not very good at this kind of thing....Well, i would watch and try and follow, i dont know the dance to the song..OMG, I CANT WAIT!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE IT WHEN LIKE, ONE PERSON DANCES,THEN THEY ALL JOIN IN, AND THE WHOLE PLACE IS DANCING!!!! i SO want to do it, and no, you only have to know the dance, and only THAT dance.
1: When the first man and girl started dancing most people appeared very surprised.
2: It seemed to realize that this was an organized event, not just some random accordance.
3: Because of the cheerfulness of the song and how it was based in the WWII. This show rising up from depression.
4: No, I don't know the dance. If I did know the dance, I would defiantly join.
5: Yes, because it will be a very cool event and something very interesting.
6: No because if you put enough time into anything, it will come out fine.
They looked like they were frecked out about it at first but then they all joined in and danced.
They were like thats cool we should all dance with them to.
I think that thay played that song because it shows that we are entering a new time like a time of happynes.
No.Because im not a really big fan of danceing .
I am kind of excited about it but it will be cool when every one is danceing togeather.
Yes.Because if you are not then you will look like the odd one out because you will be of tempo
I think that at first the crowd was wondering what a girl and a man where dancing to the song. They probrobly thought that they were crazy. Then as more kids joned in the dance, i think that they started to take it as a game and jion in there themselves. They might have choosen that song because it was a popular song, it was also a very good song. The dance wasn't too complocated so that others could do it too. If i was there, i wouldn't have danced.I'm not that prepared to dance in the middle of a train station. I don't like to dance, thats my personal piont of view. Even if i did dance, i would be very vad because I mess up really often. I'm not a person who likes dancing and singing.
1)I think they thought it was odd but when they realized which dance they were doing they joined.
2)If someone joined, someone else would join along with them and start at the exact same part that everyone else was on.
3)I think they chose this song because they knew that a lot of people know the dance and it is a way for everyone in the train station to connect just like Michael Jackson's "Thriller"
4)No, because I don't know this song or this dance and I do not like dancing in a big group unless it is a song I am familiar with.
5)I am excited because I have never danced in group and I think it will be fun to do this.
6) I think you have to be a good dancer especially if you are doing a dance that was performed by one of the best dancers ever.
#1 they wonted to get enery one dancing.
#2 they got atrackted to it.
#3 I think that it`s a way that they connected with music.
#4 no because I can`t dance that typ of music.
#5 yes.
#6 no because lots of people are going to be there and some will mes up but no one will notec because there`s going to be a lot of people
Smith Middle School~
1. I bet they thought they where crazy, but then realized that they had to join to make everybody happy and enjoyable!
2. They all joined in, in the fun and exciting moment. They all probley hopped that everyone would join in the celebration.
3. The Song came from the Sound of Music, a Broadway musical and movie. I think the organizers thought that they will bring them together after World War 2.
4. I would have deffinatly joined in the dance. One because I love to dance, and two I think it is great for everyone to be joined and happy together.
5. I am so excited for the Global Connections because I can't wait to see all of the kids whom know this dance and want to participate. I will definatly be at Global Connections. NO MATTER WHAT!
6. I don't thhink you do need to be a good dancewr to do this. I hope everybody that wants to should!
They looked freacked out at first.
They were like thats cool I should join in to.
I think that they played that song because there showing that its a new time a happyer time.
No because im not a big fan of danceing.
Yes because it will be cool to see every one danceing togeather.
No all you need to do is know theright moves.
1. I think that the people watching were suprised that two people actually started dancing inside a trainstation.
2. I think that the crowd joined in a little bit more when the children started to dance, and started to enjoy the performance.
3. I think that the organizers choose this song because it gave hope to the people right after the Holocaust and they thought it might give hope to the people nowadays with the stressful recession and economic downturn going on.
4. I probably wouldn't join the dance because I don't know the dance and am not very familiar with the song so I wouldn't want to mess up the dance. I would surely watch the dancers do the whole dance though.
5. I am VERY excited about Global Connections night in November. I think it will be so fun to dance all together, and I love how much our work in class will help bring people the message of compassion through out the dance.
6. I abosolutely do not think you have to be good at dancing. Anyone that knows the dance or wants to participate should. Dancing isn't about how you dance, it's about if you dance and how fun it is for you and your freinds.
1. The onlookers seemed confused and gave the people weird looks, they also looked creeped out that some random people would start dancing in the middle of a train station.
2. The crowd started to get into the whole idea of people dancing, and the song. People starting clapping and laughing and enjoying the dancing.
3. I think that the people who organized this chose to use thins song because it came out right after the Holicaust, also this is a joyful song and it could have given some poeple hope
4. I probably would have joined in, because there were many other people and it looked like a fun thing to do. If i joined in i would join in with a group of people, and after there were already a good amount of people there.
5. Yes, i am excited about learning this dance.
6. I am excited because i think it'll be a fun thing to do, and i also think it will be entertaining to watch. Another reason i'm excited is that we are a doing a song th everyone knows, so it'll make it more fun to dance.
1. The other's just started to stare, and looked curious when the man and young girl started to dance. One lady even dropped her jaw.
2. As more kids began to join and dance, the crowd began to take pictures, and warm up to the idea more.
3. Since The Sound of Music was made in the time of World War II, I believe that it fit into the theme for everyone doing at dance to the song in a train station. "Do Re Mi," brings everybody together, and reminds them of this sad time, but the untitng makes it better.
4. If I knew the dance, I probably would have joined the others. I would have because I think that it is really neat that a huge group of people all know the same dance. It's moving too.
5. I am very excited about dancing at Global Connections. I believe that it will be fun, and interesting to have the whole school doing the same dance.
6. To be a part of this dance, I think you just have to know it, I don't think you have to be a good dancer. Since we are teenagers I don't think it is all about looking perfect.
1. The people started to stare at them and then kept walking minding their own business.
2. Everybody in the crowd started to watch the performers.
3. I think they chose this song because the Sound Of Music is a very famous movie.
4. No because I just know the song, not the dance.
5. No because I don't really like to dance and i don't know the dance well enouph.
6.Because there are going to be a lot of people watching.
They were very suprised, when the music was first on, they looked confused, then startled when they started to dance. They git iver the shock a bit, and started looking lkike, "hey, i know that dance, i want to join in, it looks fun!" Well, this was around the holocaust, maybe it's a way to say, "hey, there's still joy, you can still be happy" and, a lot of people ovbiously know the dance. Well, i have no idea how to do it, and maybe i would syand to the side and try to pick it up. Totaly. No, you just have to know that one dance.

1)The outlookers were a little surprised when they saw the girl and man dancing.
2)The crowed wasnt surprised anymore.

1.The crowd seemed pretty werided out when the first people started dancing.2. Then they started dancing along when they noticed is was all organized. 3.I think they picked this song because it was oretty popular in britain but i'm still not sure why. I don't think i would've joined this, i'd just walk away slowly. I'm pretty excited about learning a dance for global on nov. 19. It should be fun but i'm not a good dancer
1. I would probably describe them as brave.
2. They felt less shy about dancing.
3.Well, from the information I found, I think they chose this song because it's a song that almost everyone knows it, and when you see people dancing to it you want to get up and dance too.
4.No. because I don't know the dance. But I would if I did.
5.Yes
6.Because we've been learing the dance in global connections class forever, and I'm not going to just pass it off as nothing. And it's extra credit.
1. I think the othert people in the crowd where suprised and shoked that the man and girl actually started dancing.
2. After more children started to dance, the rest of the crowd started to dance, but the people who didn't know the dance just stood back and wached.
3. I think that they chose this song because its such a popular song and because so many people already know it.
4. No,because i dont know the dance but if i did know the dance i would.
5. YES! I love Micheal Jackson and I love thriller its my favorite song! The dance is complicated but I still love it.
6. No, you just have to know the right moves, and when to start dancing, if you know that then you got it.
Middle School~
They probobly thought that they were crazy and that they lost there mind. They also thought that they can dance very good.
They responded by doing it and they also started to cheer them on to do it. They also also responded with shock shocked on there face and how good they were.
. I think they did it becuse there is a lot of people in the train station so they wanted a lot of people to know the dance so they tought people so the would know. I also think they choose the train station because when they teach it to people they tell othetr people so that is how it spread out to places. they also made it when the world war happend and they tried to make them forget about it so they can be happy.
4. I would have not jumped in because during that time the waar was happing and i would not have jumped. I would have jumped in also because the dansce was hard.
5. Are you excited about learning a dance for our Global Connections Exhibit Night on Nov. 19th? Why/why not? Do you think you have to be a good dancer to participate?
What I think~ I think I am, because it would be cool for everyone to drop what they are doing and start dancing at the same time. No, aI don't think you have to, because it's all about having fun.
10/12/09 1:57 PM
1. The crowd was a little confused as to why they were dancing; but as more people joined they got it and were enjoying the entertainment.

6. No I do not think you have to be a good dancer to join. I think you just need to know the dance. I really hope that a lot of people come out and it is successful.
1. When the girl and a man started dancing, lots of people stared at them as if they were crazy. A couple people laughed.
2. When more people started to join in, it became like a school dance. Everyone willing to dance, danced in the middle. It looked as if they were having fun.
3. They probrobly chose that song because it was popular and it was a basic song to dance to.
4. If I was there, I wouldn't have danced. I just don't like to do embaresing stuff like that.
5. I'm not too excieted about global connections. Even if I did want to dance, I never have enough time. I am not what you could call a good dancer anyway.

3. I personally think that it is one of the most well known songs and one of the most cheerful and
easy to dance to so that's why the organizers chose it.

Dominic Van Houtven
1. They looked extremely surprised and confused that the people started dancing in the middle of the train station.
2. They joined in with the children as more and more started to dance.
3. I think that they wanted to choose a fun song if there was any trauma in Belgium at that time.
4.Yes, because I would have tried to add to a record in the making.
5. Yes, because I get 2 homework passes for dancing :)
6. I don't think you have to be a good dancer to participate, as long as you're having fun.
1. I think that the onlookers were sort of surprised and amazed. I do not think it was expected, and they were shocked that the two started dancing.
2. As more people joined, I think that the crowd started to enjoy the show, and they might have started to want to dance too.
3. They might have chosen it because it was a classic that many people would know, and it is a happy song.
4. Yes, as more people started to join the dance, I would have too. I do not like dancing on my own, but when there are many people doing it, I will totally dance.
5. Yes, I am excited. I like dancing, but never really get the chance. I don't think that you have to be a good dancer to participate if you are having fun.
I would be pretty excited to learn about this dance on Global Connections Night and honored to learn it, too. I'm interested in learning new things I don't know how to do. I don't think that I'm good dancing, but also I don't think you have to be good at it to participate in the dance. It's more of a fun thing so I think that everyone should participate if they want to.
I think that the onlookers were suprised and confused. I would have been a bit confused and maybe a little scared. After the children jumped in the adults started to join in. I think they chose this song to bring life back to singing. Yes because I didn't want to be left out.Yes I am excited to do the dance on the 19th, because I can get two don't do homework passes or two makeup homework passes. I don't think you have to be a good dancer for the thriller you just have to try.
The onlookers were suprised and astonished as the first two people started to dance. The crowd started to like the show and more and more people joined in. I would have definetly stayed and watched but probably not have started to dance. I am excited about learning Thriller. I don not think you have to be a good dancer to participate. I am a bad dancer but i am still participating. I think they chose that osng because it is a very happy song and that it is well known.
1. Right after they started dancing, I saw a few people that looked surprised. Among them was a woman whoses jaw actually dropped.
2. A crowd of people gathered to see what was going on. A few of them were smiling, and some joined in.
3. I think they chose the song because it is so well known, and is from a popular musical. I haven't actually seen The Sound of Music, but I know the song.
4. I might or might not have joined in. They all seemed to know what they were doing, as if it was choreographed. If it was a freestyle, I would have joined in because I love to dance.
5. I'm very excited. As I mentioned before, I love to dance; it's my number one hobby.
6.I don't think you have to be a good dancer to participate. You just have to know the choreography and have fun.

People were astonished that they were dancing, and a little freaked too
2)As more children joined the dance, how did the crowd respond?
They were even more suprised, but some of them looked like they wanted to join
The "Do Re Mi" song came from the Sound of Music, a Broadway musical and movie that came out in the late 1950's / early 1960's. Look up the history of this musical/movie and explain why you think the organizers may have chosen this song for the train station dance.
Maybe because it is a known song, and because everyone does the same thing
Would you have joined in the dance if you were at this train station? Why/why not?
I would have, it would have been fun

In the video of the Antwerp dance I would describe the onlookers as surprised and curious of what was going on. When more people joined the crowd was amazed,and they were in a trance of this dance in the middle of the train station. They picked this because the family who it is based on was in England,so it has some memorial potential to the United kingdom. I would have joined the dance because it looked fun, and i think you should have fun at everything you do. I am thrilled we are learning a dance for global connections because it shows the our whole school is connected through something and it will just feel good to impress all the people that come. I think anyone can come and dance, you do not have to be a good dancer to do it, it just matters that you are having a good time!!

People were kind of confused and Kind of happy at the same time when the first people started to dance. When more more kids started to join in, then the crowd started trying to join in. i think that the orginizers chose this song because, many people knew it and it was appropriate for all ages. I would not have joined in because I don't even know the dance and I would feel embarassed.
I am sort of exited for the global connections version of this but I don't think it will be as succesful as this. I don;t think you have to be a good dancer to participate; I think you just have to have strong spirit in your heart.
Kristin Shannon/Smith Middle/7th grade
1.)The onlookers looked kind of like whats going on here and they looked very confused at first, then they were like oh I get it this is so cool.
2.) The crowd responded like oh this is so cute and it made everyone happy as more people joined in.
3.) I think the orginizers chose they this song for the train station because song because its a well known childrens song.
4.) I think I would have joined in to this dance because I love to dance and I really like this song. Even though I would look like the odd one out I still think it would have been alot of fun.
5.) YES! I really like this song and I have always wanted to know what the steps to this dance were.
6.) To be inthis dance I think youatleast need to know what some of the dance stepsare so you don't get lost.
4. I would dance to the song if I knew how it was supposed to be done.
Are you excited about learning a dance for our Global Connections Exhibit Night on Nov. 19th?
5. Yes I am excited.
6. No, you don't have to be a good dancer to dance to any type of dance. But if you were a good dancer the dance would look better.
1.
They where surprised and got excited and started to join.
2.
The crowd was really excited that they joined with the music and danced right away.
3.
It is from Hammerstein musical. The organizers chose the song because it is very basic and a happy tune.
4.
Yes,i wanted to be a part of a happy crowd.
5.
Yes I am excited because I don't need to be a good dancer in order to dance.
Jeremy Lin- 8th Grade, Smith Middle School
1. At first, the onlookers looked a little bit confused about what was going on, but later began to understand what was going on when the little kids were dancing the Sound of Music dance.
2. In the video, I saw 1-2 people photographing the dance. The adults were smiling about half way through the video. They were enjoying the dancing of the little kids by their expressions.
3. The song probably was created in that time period and it sounds exciting and appealing. The producers of the movie maybe thought that it was a happy and joyful song perfect for little kids to dance to.
4. If I had the option, I wouldn't dance because the song is not interesting to me.
5. No, I didn't look forward to dancing. But I danced the Thriller because I got extra credit for doing it. No, nobody has to be a good dancer to participate. I think that if you try, you can become a good dancer.
Molly kirsch-smith middle-8th grade
1. Everyone who was not dancing looked very confused.
2. More people joined the dance.
3. It brought everyone together like it did in the movie.
4. Yes because it looks fun.
5. Yes I am excited to learn the thriller dance for global connections because it will be fun to see all the students doing the dance together. Yes, you do have to be a good dancer to participate. Otherwise, you would mess it up.
5. I am totally excited to learn thriller and can;t wait. I think as long as you know the moves anyone should be able to join good or bad. i am excited because i want to know how to dance to thriller.
Rob B. 8th Smith Middle
1. I would describe the onlookers as being interested and amazed that this man and girl would do this.
2. They started to tap along to the beat and smiling a lot more.
3. I think they chose a train station because in the musical/movie they ride in a train right before they sing this song.
4. I would not have joined the dance because I would be afraid that I would mess it up.
5. I am excited to learn the dance because I've always wanted to learn the Thriller and it should be very fun. I don't think you need to be a good dancer to dance all you need is to know the steps.
I would have joined in the dance because had i not i would have stuck out as most of the people in the train station were dancing. Having already done the thriller dance i can say that it was a great experience as it is one of the iconic dances of the US. I don't believe that you should have to be a good dancer to participate in this event.
I believe that this song was chosen as it showed unity which is something that all countries need. I think that i likely would have joined in the dancing as it seems that everyone else did.Having already done the thriller dance i can say that it is a great experience as it is the iconic american dance.
The video caught my attention with everyone dancing.
Chris C. 8th grade smith middle school
As the man and girl started dancing everyone looked a little surprised and shocked.
After more children joined some people were still surprized and others looked happy.
I think they chose this song because it is a well known song and most people do know it.
I probably wouldnt have joined the dance because I dont like dancing.
I am a little excited for learning Thriller. You dont have to be a good dancer to participate because almost everyone whos dancing it will have just learned it.
How would you describe the onlookers as the first man and the little girl started dancing?
They were probably suprise, it's not everyday you suddenly see people dancing in a subway station.
As more children joined the dance, how did the crowd respond?
Most of them decided to join too, I mean there was music and everything, there was no harm done in joining.
The "Do Re Mi" song came from the Sound of Music, a Broadway musical and movie that came out in the late 1950's / early 1960's. Look up the history of this musical/movie and explain why you think the organizers may have chosen this song for the train station dance.
Well I don't think it has anything to do with it's old history, but probably for it's happy and fast beat.
Would you have joined in the dance if you were at this train station? Why/why not?
Though I like dancing, I had no idea how the dance went, nor would I want to bring attention to myself.
Are you excited about learning a dance for our Global Connections Exhibit Night on Nov. 19th?
Yes. It'll be fun to do and I get some extra credit, it's a win-win situation.
Why/why not? Do you think you have to be a good dancer to participate?
Well we'll be learning in the first place so if you're confident enough it'll be really enjoyable. Even if you're not good at dancing, it's not like we're all proffesionals.

6.)No I do not think it takes a good dancer to participate, this dance was for joy anyone could have joined instead of show, when they pick out the dancers.
The onlookers were stunned that a man and a girl just randomly started dancing in the middle of a train station to Do Re Mi from the Sound of Music. It isnt't usual when your traveling to see somebody randomly start dancing to the music played on the loud speakers.
They enjoyed the show they got to watch. Many people brought out their cameras and cell phones to take pictures. Some people even joined in to the crowd.
In the movie Maria teaches the children this song to break their nerves about their father. The people were probably dancing to help people relax on their traveling day, and to watch something and enjoy it.
Yes I would join because it would be a fun experience, i'm just not sure if I would know the right dance moves.
Yes, except I am on crutches.

1.They were pretty shoked that somebody just started dancing for no reason.
2.They started clapping and joining in with the rest of the people.

4.Yes because it would be really fun, you would be all stressted out at work and then you just start dancing for the fun of it.

I would describe the onlookers as awestruck. They looked like they were wondering what was happening.Do Re Mi came from Sound of Music. The musical/movie is based on a memoir of a family living in Austria during WW2.Song is a very upbeat and joyful. I was meant for the children to forget their troubles living during that time period.

When the first people started dancing, the onlookers seemed shocked that someone would have the nerve to start dancing in a train station, although, as more people started joining, their opinion changed from “wow, these people are crazy” to “hmm, maybe this isn’t a bad idea. The people in the station were suddenly joining in, and as more children joined in, the parents of those children joined. I probably would have joined in this dance if my parents, sibling or friends had joined in, but otherwise I probably would have been a bystander and watched it. This video is a great example of what peer pressure can do, as the number of dancers multiplied, and I think that if the first two people had not started, then there would have been no dance.
