Shopping Mall Flashdances

‘Dance like Nobody’s Watching’ Shows an Epic Free Spir

— May 15, 2012 — Pop Culture
‘Dance like Nobody’s Watching’ is a video showing the free-spirited Angela Trimbur dancing her heart away in a shopping mall without worrying who’s watching.

In the Galleria Mall in Sherman Oaks, California, Trimbur sets up a camera in a busy mall intersection and dances to the song ‘Fancy Footwork’ by Chromeo -- the dance is pure gold. Trimbur dances like the she owns the space, kicking, bending and reaching for the sky in her amazing moves.

It’s common to see people so insecure about dancing that when they do, it’s just awkward. The best form of dancing, whether it’s with good or bad moves, is the fact that people don’t care who’s watching. A phrase from the song that shows exactly what Trimbur is all about states, “Let her see that fancy footwork. Show her that you’re not that shy.”
