Middletown’s Able Body and Mind and The Salve Regina basketball team do the Harlem Shake.
What is the Harlem Shake? The Harlem Shake is a worldwide YouTube dance contagion that originated with comedian and video blogger Filthy Frank. On Jan. 30, he uploaded a YouTube of several costumed people dancing to the song "Harlem Shake" by Baauer, and it quickly went viral. See the attached video for Filthy Frank's video. A group of teenagers known as The Sunny Coast Skate, from Queensland Australia, were the first to imitate the Harlem Shake, which ignited a chain reaction of Harlem Shake uploads to YouTube. Today, a Harlem Shake search on YouTube returns more than 200,000 results. It’s contagious and nobody appears to be immune.
