Faith in humanity restored for another day. Thanks for doing that.

If that didn't sate your appetite for youngsters bopping through their school day, here's some more scholastic shimmying in the Morrakka video song from the movie Lakshmi, which the Dance 10000 video immediately brought to mind.

Cool! My organization has also collaborated with Generation Pep! Here was our contribution to get kids cycling.

Lovely -- reminds me of Girl Walk // All Day from 2011 which I can't believe was... 10 years ago?!

Thanks, Stark! I used to live on that subway line, so it was fun to see that. Of course the biggest fun was watching this youngster dance. So great!

Man, it's very typical that I have to find Swedish stuff on metafilter. I will try spread it here, it was delightful. Similarly delightful but with an office worker rather than a little girl is this previously.

Iteki, I love this! Thanks for sharing. I want to see the outtakes with reactions from drivers when they see this man hula hooping in his undies.

Then there's Lazy Town | Stephanie and Sportacus Sing I Can Dance Music Video | Lazy Town Songs for Kids from the Icelandic kids TV production LazyTown. It has puppets and an evil villain.

Totally rip'd the tune from rogerroger's link. That's a good mix.
