[edit] The troupe

In the video for "New York New York" by the artist Moby, VIDS is joined by "Tammy" (played by Bridget Everett).
[edit] The act
The satirical premise of the act is that the Varsity Interpretive Dance Squad (VIDS) was formed to propagate the idea that unhappiness, inequality and injustice will all be prevented, discouraged and eventually abolished with the power of WHOLE WORLD DANCE, a concept that requires every human on our planet to simultaneously all together in unison together dance the same moves all together at the same time.[1]
As VIDS, the troup has performed at such New York CIty venues at Ars Nova, P.S. 122, Galapagos, Mo Pitkin’s, Rubulad, The Slipper Room and The Cock. And thy have also been seen at The Crooked Mirror (Edinburgh, Scotland), and Mt. Lebanon High School (Pittsburgh, PA).
VIDS has also interpreted many popular songs for Fuse TV and were the featured performers in the official music video for "New York New York" by Moby featuring Debbie Harry.
VIDS recently completed production on a web-series for EOnline.com the web component of E! television network.
