Kevin is the best dancer of the original 5 members/characters of New Directions but he's in no way shape or form better than either Harry/Mike or Heather/Brittany who arrived a bit later
The writer/lead singer, Ivan Doroschuk, has explained that "The Safety Dance" is a protest against bouncers stopping dancers pogoing to 1980s new wave music in clubs when disco was dying and new wave was up and coming. New wave dancing, especially pogoing, was different from disco dancing, because it was done individually instead of with partners and involved holding the torso rigid and thrashing about.
Ok I remember watching this and being pissed at the beginning because I thought that Arty actually got his legs back because that wouldn't be possible. But then I cried anyway because I found out it was a dream sequence. There is no making me happy 😂
I know nothing about the character, but the concept that having started some sort of therapy yesterday he could suddenly dance like that made no sense so I just assumed it was fantasy
EXACTLY! the whole series doesn't carry many outstanding choreographies, but this one is an exception - the best choreography through the entire series.
That's to keep you from realizing it's not a real flash mob. Everyone there is paid to play their part, paid to act surprised at first, then towards the end they all know the dance moves.
K Herring She was the first thing I noticed when I saw this years ago and she is all I think about when I think of this scene. She looks like a whackadoodle.
Really like this cinematic version of the Safety Dance. I think this is the best take on it. But then again I love a really good over the top take on things. It radiates energy.
I find to believe it took two weeks to film one episode of the show... imagine how much of that time was spent learning the songs and dances in a studio and how many times they had to reshoot everything
While it's meant to look like a real life Flash mob, it's all staged and rehearsed. Most of the 'stunned' mall shoppers in the beginning join in and they know all the moves, even the fat redhead lady who at first looks like she's stumbling around, but at the end she's synced with the rest. The ones who don't join in are all paid extras. No doubt the studio filmed this when the mall was closed to the public as they would have to get written permission to show anyone's face not part of the cast.
I always felt a little bad for Kevin because he's one of the best dancers and he was in a wheel Chair for the show so he never got to bust a move very often, that must have been hard for him lol
They should have made an extended version of this, but I guess they needed the short version for Network TV. They changed some of the original lyrics (wall to wall instead of pole to pole) but who cares.

My mind was BLOWN at the age of 9 when I saw him standing up, I genuinely thought the actor was unable to walk
Is it bad that I was 16 and thought the same ?
Me too
unpopular opinion: this is the best Glee choreography through the entire series.
one of my favourite Glee performances
Mari solo Mari the song and dance is so catchy
My favorite routine on Glee. I love Artie. This routine makes me happy but the end.....the end always breaks my heart.
Yep, actually makes me suddenly tear up a little when he falls back in the chair at the end.
Him falling into the chair at the end is so, so brutal.
woohoo Heather, Kevin and Harry in their element!
mxgirl918 Jenna was in this too and I saw The guy who played Matt and amber.
Chris (Kurt) is also in a couple shots :O
A lot of dancers from Harry's dance group (LXD) were in this number like Christopher Scott and I think Shelby Rabara too
@@folklore_of_beth and kurt
they put their best dancer in a wheelchair....
Kalle Bioebau Kevin is good but Harry is better
didnt say harry is bad, hes awesome 2
Kevin is the best dancer of the original 5 members/characters of New Directions but he's in no way shape or form better than either Harry/Mike or Heather/Brittany who arrived a bit later
Well it does take a lot of strength to maneuver in a wheelchair
that was what I thinking :-)
One of the best flash mobs I’ve ever seen that holds up with time. Saw this years ago.... and still love it!
Shopping centres all over the world once Corona LockDown has gone , we be like 🕺💃👯♂️
this looks too dangerous to be The Safety Dance

You know, that dance wasn't as safe as they said it was...
Then it's settled! The new CEO of Planet Express Corporation is... THAT GUY!
*electronica*
I grew up in the 80's and I loved this song. I usually don't like remakes but he did a very good job. I love it.
Wolf Gypsy Even Ivan Doroschuk the lead singer of "Men without hats" loved this remake.
Artie was so smooth wish I could've see him dance often
one of the few people in Glee who could dance, and they put him on a wheelchair....well done
Im literally hypnotized by heather! I could watch this woman dance till the day i die and i would still be amazed like the first time!
OMG!!!! I just realized that the woman who comes out at 1:45 dancing in the front row is Shelby Rabara, the wife of Harry Shum Jr (Mike)😱😱
two words: Heather Morris
I LOVE the choreography to this!!!!!

Who randomly was singing this song so they came to watch this??
does anyone notice that harry was tying his shoelace 2:03 thinking no-one noticed? lollll
1:07 that lady looks so lost- (the red haired one) I was literally just watching her LMAO
Am I the only one with a strangw crush on Artie and this is the hottest dance glee has?
The internet agrees. So does Tina. Go watch bad and watch Sebastian lead warblers eyes he gave Artie a look that says he may agree.
EXACTLY! the whole series doesn't carry many outstanding choreographies, but this one is an exception - the best choreography through the entire series.
i love this, Artie was my favourite character and this is one of my favourite songs ever
This is great, but anyone else tired of editing that's so fast you barely see a thing?
Bad video for a bad version of a good song. This is glee...what did you expected?
It's supposed to be fast. You realise Joss Whedon did this episode?
BioHazerd so? It still looks stupid
That's to keep you from realizing it's not a real flash mob. Everyone there is paid to play their part, paid to act surprised at first, then towards the end they all know the dance moves.
Nop.
I cannot be the only one who noticed Amber and chris ( Kurt and Mercedes)
I'm little late replying but I'm glad I'm not the only one. A lot of the cast was there !
Don't waste 47 seconds in your life just go to 00:47 and be happy!!!
Arty is my favorite character
Maui from Moana got some sweet moves :)
As a filipino I’m literally just focusing on the fact that there’s a jollibee 😂
Tag The Tag That's the Eagle Rock Plaza in Los Angeles.
back when tina was likeable
tea
It stops your heart. It lifts your heart. Then it breaks your heart. Just wonderful. Makes your heart bigger somehow.
Anyone else notice the weird spinning lady???
K Herring She was the first thing I noticed when I saw this years ago and she is all I think about when I think of this scene. She looks like a whackadoodle.
Where
Melissa Robinson 1:11 and 1:13 the lady in purple. She keeps doing it through out the video
That's the happiest spinning woman I've seen in my life
I like how he’s like soooo good at dancing but he literally just came out of a wheelchair lol😂
The end it´s so heartbreaking every single time.
do i sense some Mike Chang singing around about here???? 1:32
Emma Ogilvie yep
Vee B not him though

If you don't absolutely love that old bald man, you have no soul.

Did they really surprised the people in there or it was already obvious that movie scene will be taken place?
symmetry08 they surprise everyone, I was there, I even started dancing with them they told me I was great
I just never saw anything like this. Was curious.
Daniel Orihuela what da... is that real?
Of course it is, I'm a guy in the internet, you can trust me
Daniel Orihuela JAJAJAJJAJAAJA OKAAAY
i cried way too hard when he sat back down
Amo Glee 😍
Thanks for sharing it.
IRIE Vibes and dance moves! Gotta do this here in N'damaxei with friends! :D
He was always my favorite 😍
One of these days I would love to witness a flash mob like this is supposed to represent.
Absolutely loved this !!!!
“Thank you for the flash dance Maui”
“You’re welcome” -Maui
While it's meant to look like a real life Flash mob, it's all staged and rehearsed.

No doubt the studio filmed this when the mall was closed to the public as they would have to get written permission to show anyone's face not part of the cast.
St8kout this filmed in the grove when the Mall was open. It was on the behind the scenes
En iyi bölüm lerden biriydi....
OMG!! Too much!!! I loved it!! 😍😍😍😍❤❤❤❤
Wow 20 yil sonra buldum musi thx for upload
Superrrr....
my mom said that she always imagines starting random flash mobs
Soul crushing reality at the end
Esplêndido! 👏👏👏👏
BEST SCENE EVER!!!! 🐇💞🐇💞🐇💞
This is Kevins best moment 🤘🏻
The 80s is always there to be called upon when any decade run out of creative ideas ... Yay !
This is so cool, i never looked close but there's also adults in the flashmob
The joy of movement...
This is my first time watching anything related to Glee, it's basically Highschool Musical outside of highschool.
Favorite ever
Офигенно!!!
Love the fact that there's a Jollibee right behind them. Go Filipinos!
That was legendary
Directed by Joss Whedon I believe. One of my favourite Glee episodes.
Made me cry :(
Anyone know if this scene was made live in any Mall?
He's wasted in glee!!! He's amazing!!!
Muy bueno !
Very good !!
cry cry artie makes my heart break
Am I the only one that noticed the cameras "videoing" the flash mob don't show Artie?
That sounds like Naya’s voice in the background. The one singing ‘out of control’ and ‘wall to wall’.
Big dude can move!
wooooow nice wicked
I always felt a little bad for Kevin because he's one of the best dancers and he was in a wheel
Chair for the show so he never got to bust a move very often, that must have been hard for him lol
Must be one of the most silliest escapist TV shows...
cool
💛💛💛
Rem this 2011 .look at old phones😂❤girl Green smokn hot❤
The best wish I was in dance team
I always understand "save the dance" xD (I'm not a native speaker)
Adam Weisshaupt in glasses. Law of the fives, 5o5 on a Mayday.
all times music
Where's the original song video? Why did YT censure it?
Jolibee fastfood at the background 😊
ooh c'est trop triste pauvre arty, pouvez vous faire une version asmr ??
Casper Smart at 1.46! 😳😳😳😳
They should have made an extended version of this, but I guess they needed the short version for Network TV. They changed some of the original lyrics (wall to wall instead of pole to pole) but who cares.
They changed it to wall to wall because character was supposed to be 14-15 year old high school freshman
this guys had to rehearse very hard to do this choreography in one take and without mistakes
yeah it's great. It makes you feel stupid. :P
Time to hit up the mall lol
These dancers....... Words don't do it !!!!!!
Who sings the cover to this song?
99% of the comments was about Jollibee in the background
good song but how is half the club just randomly there to dance with him???
cause it was a dream
He could out dance all of them
The more he danced the less good the rest of them looked
So he was thinking
2:59 Warbler
Le meilleur danseur est en fauteuil 😥
