Spontaneous Choreography: Difference between revisions

* Animated example: In ''[[The Return of Hanuman]]'' musical sequence "Aasman Ko Chhukar", tourists, pirates, animals, even ''the Statue of Liberty'' dances.

* The opening of ''[[Hair]]'' features a Crowd Dance.

* [[Woody Allen]]'s ''Everyone Says I Love You'' has this for pretty much all of its musical numbers (whether the dancers/singers be jewlery store clerks, hospital nurses or even ghosts), though the main singers are intentionally not the best singers in order to add a bit of realism to the numbers.

* In the ''[[Blues Brothers]]'' film, the crowd outside the music store breaks out into spontaneous dance once Ray Charles starts up ''Shake A Tail Feather''. But then, it's Ray Charles, so its sort of expected.

* Lampshaded in ''[[Enchanted (Film)|Enchanted]]'', as Robert is [[Only Sane Man|the only one who finds it odd]] that everyone is spontaneously dancing and singing in the middle of Central Park.

* ''[[Clerks|Clerks II]]'' had one of these with that Jackson 5 song.

* ''[[Sister Act|Sister Act 2]]'' also had one in that the kids had been practicing a big traditional choral presentation, but then at the last minute when faced up against a big-time school that did the same thing better than they could have, turn it into a mixed-style free-for-all version of the same basic song. Note that the accompanying music also keeps up with the different style changes, even though they just decided to do it this way a few minutes prior.

* ''[[Thirteen Going On Thirty]]'': . Jenna starts dancing to ''Thriller'', and everyone at the party remembers and executes the choreography perfectly.

* In ''[[Five Hundred Days of Summer (Film)|Five Hundred Days of Summer]]'', after Tom sleeps with Summer he initiates [[Spontaneous Choreography]].

* ''[[Beetlejuice (Film)|Beetlejuice]]'' - the Maitlands' ghostly powers make the Deetze's dinner party get up and dance to Harry Belafonte's " Banana Boat Song".

** Justified of course, since it was supernatural forces at work

* ''[[Family Guy (Animation)|Family Guy]]'' does this a lot particularly the numbers "Shapoopie", "A Bag of Weed", and "Mr. Booze".

* In ''[[Batman the Brave And The Bold (Animation)|Batman: The Brave And The Bold]]'', the Music Meister's powers are only given as singing-based [[Mind Control]], but [[Spontaneous Choreography]] and [[Changing Clothes Is a Free Action|spontaneous wardrobe changes]] seem to fall under his [[Required Secondary Powers]]. In another episode Huntress, Catwoman and Black Canary are sneaking backstage at the biggest hoodlum hangout in Gotham when the curtain goes up. They pretend to be the entertainment and launch into a risque song about superheroes with spontaneous choreography and perfect unrehearsed harmony with both the house band and each other. The villians love it.
