Harlem Shake
Several hundred UM students filmed the “The Official University of Miami Harlem Shake” video Saturday afternoon on the Green. Junior Dan Overstreet and senior Alex Appel organized the creation of the viral video through a Facebook event. Students dressed in eccentric costumes danced around the U statue by the Rock with beach balls, hula hoops, tubas and flags. As of Sunday afternoon, the video has gained more than 21,000 views since it was posted Saturday night. To watch the video, visit youtu.be/L-cmMGqOkvw.
