The following was taken from themy school, IE University:
"Students from IE University were the stars of today’s newest entry to the “Harlem Shake” craze, a new kind of group dance that is causing a sensation all over the internet. The students from IE in Segovia now join the ranks of thousands of youths around the world who upload their particular version of the dance to Youtube, the platform of choice which receives up to four thousand “Harlem Shakes” a day.
The requirements for the video to be valid are simple : they must not to be longer than 30 seconds long, the participants should be minimally dressed, and the same music as in all other videos of this type needs to be used (in particular, an electronica rhythm song by 23 year old New York DJ “Baauer”).
The background selected by the Segovian students is one of the most frequented areas of the campus, the main entrance of IE University, next to the portico of the old Convent of Santa Cruz la Real : an historic building remodeled by the Catholic Kings in the fifteenth century and declared a National Monument. In this way, the students of IE have become part of this new global phenomenon in which thousands of people around the world participate.
The origins of the “Harlem Shake” come from a first video starring four Japanese youths who, wearing masks, created this form of extreme dancing. This ended up being so popular that it even now has a Wikipedia entry in both English and Spanish and have been mentioned in news casts around the world."
