Yesterday, in honor of Michael Jackson's passing five years ago and as promotion for a MJ Tribute Party at Xiu on June 27 (9pm), The Park Hyatt organized a flash mob made up of dancers doing the usual MJ jigs to a medley of the usual MJ jams.

It all begins with one lone wolf, dancing on the pavement, much like the MJ nut often seen by Nansanlitun Lu or outside the Den, before others – seemingly out of nowhere – coalesce behind him and lock into foot-shaking, moonwalking, hip-thrusting, anti-gravity leaning unison.

 
Millions of onlookers start to gather, camera phones are wielded, the intended purpose is achieved, and the dancers disappear, probably to get some lunch.
 
 
See the whole event below:

For those of you who weren’t alive on June 25 2009, Michael Jackson died just before his big comeback tour; a moment that broke the Internet, made his record label stinking rich after selling 35 million albums worldwide in the 12 months following, and landed his personal physician in jail, charged with involuntary manslaughter. Expect similar life-changing events at Xiu.
 
 
Miss you MiJa!
