Leicester Square tube Station on Friday night 🎼🎼🎼🎸

In this fun video, an energetic street busker starts a dance party in the middle of a London train station.
“Repeat after me!” the street busker yells over the crowd. He then proceeds to sing the song ‘Twist and Shout’ by The Beatles, and everyone around him sings along as well.
“Shake it up, baby, now
Twist and shout
Come on, come on, come, come on, baby, now
Come on and work it on out”
As he’s singing, a large crowd of people can be seen laughing and dancing with each other around the train station. “You know you twist so fine; you know you twist so good,” the street busker continues. “You really got me going now, just like I knew you would!”
The crowd continues to dance around while the street busker transitions into singing ‘Labamba’ by Los Lobos.
“Para bailar la bamba
Para bailar la bamba se necesita una poca de gracia
Una poca de gracia pa’ mi pa’ ti y arriba y arriba”
During his performance, the people dancing in the area started making a large conga line. They are jumping around, waving their hands, and moving their bodies together. The place is filled with so many smiles and so much laughter. They are having such a fun time and the energy is contagious. What an amazing atmosphere! People are clearly filled with joy by the dance party that emerged here, and they are filming the special occurrence on their phones.
This beautiful video shows how music can bring people together. And sometimes in the middle of ordinary life, like getting on a train to commute around a city, wonderful things can happen, like a giant dance party with a bunch of strangers! Just like it says in Ecclesiastes 3:4, there is a time for everything. “A time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance.”
