It totally blows my mind how 300+ people move in the same direction at the same time..and it's not coming from the music/worship team, they tend to follow the shift vs lead it...if that makes sense.
But, my church was never a 3 stepper church, so doesn't really fit the criteria here anyhow.

I've seen this too.
Once, in the middle of a song, our entire sound system went out. Everything just got quiet. Dead. We all looked around, and then we just started singing without the music, and the power fell!
I, for one, cannot help but to show "exuberance" when God falls on me. I don't run, I usually weep. But I've watched some that do run. I had this one fella next to me, and I could just feel it building in him. He was getting touched in a mighty way, and I knew it was coming. Finally, he just took off, and once he did a few others went too! It was a rejoicing and claiming kind of thing.
Then other times, when the power falls, there is a beautiful holy hush in the house. Nobody would run during these times. It would be inappropriate. It is more of a reverencing, ministering spirit going on.
Oh, I'm sure some people just do it to do it. But that doesn't make it all insincere.
Quench not the spirit.
