The Varsity Interpretive Dance Squad (VIDS) is a New York City-based comedy/dance formation known for their satirical take on High School pep squads.

The troupe

In the video for "New York New York" by the artist Moby, VIDS is joined by "Tammy" (played by Bridget Everett).

The act

The satirical premisis 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.
