Unless your music has its own flashmob, you’re not really doing it big. This is the implied message Kanye West sent out to the hip-hop world after his Runaway ballet dancers surprised Virgin Airlines passengers aboard an Australian flight last Thursday. Since Kanye’s Watch the Throne tour did’nt have enough budget room to sponsor the dancing collective, it’s been a while since we’ve seen My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy‘s poster girls in action. But, what better way to reintroduce the hip-hop world’s most beloved ballerinas than with an impromptu flash mob held at 36,000 ft.
The performance starts off with the undercover passengers moving and vibing together, and as each girl branches out into her own solo, her name and hometown is displayed on the screen– giving a nice shout out to the dancers who’ve worked hard to help Kanye stand out. But honestly, aside from the beautiful dancing and excellent choreography, the best part of the 6 minute video adventure is the unsuspecting bystander confronted by a sea of twisting feet as he tried to make his way back form the bathroom. If Virgin airlines has learned anything from this little show, its that they need to make their aisles bigger ASAP.
