'Sound of Music' Dance, Antwerp Train Station!

My Dutch (Flemish?) is not what it should be, were I Belgian, but this seems to be 200 dancers from a dance school "spontaneously" breaking out into dance in the Antwerp train station, for no reason, just to make themselves and bystanders happy. And promote some TV show, but who cares? This thing's gotten about a million views in two weeks, so I know it's not just my secret Von Trapp past that has me walking around the office singing "So, do, la, fa, mi do re..." to myself.

Is it a bad thing to find the various performances of Woldwide Complaints Choirs equally toe-tapping and fun? They draw us all together in another way, with each choir singing of its own local compalints (the voting habits of Chicago's dead population; the tiresomeness of St. Peterburg's "constant existential crisis") and those that every city shares (price of beer, job woes, relationship problems, annoying ring tones).
