Mar 18, 2020 by apost team

A spectacular event took place at the Central London railway terminal during a time with moderate commuter traffic. People were making their way through the gates and carrying out their travel arrangements. The day was New Year's Eve of 2010 and the passengers probably did not expect a flash mob of professional dancers to make their day.

On a day like this, there are over 100,000 people using the station to travel to and from France, Belgium, the Netherlands and other locations. No one had any idea of what was about to occur on that day. A man entered the crowd and blended in without drawing any initial attention until the music to Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean" began to play on the speaker system. The man began to reenact the iconic dance moves that go along with the song, and many commuters reacted with surprise.

As his dancing drew attention, a crowd gathered around him. It seemed as though he had a large group of spectators, but then the onlookers suddenly became performers.

A large synchronized performance of seemingly typical commuters was underway to the amazement of people who witnessed the flash mob performance.

The mob of dancers continued to grow as the music changed to a medley of well-known pop tunes. People stopped and watched the spectacle, impressed by the talent and execution of the synchronized performance. Some onlookers attempted to dance along while others merely stopped and took photos or recorded the flash mob on video. Spectators applauded and laughed to give encouragement to the spontaneous spectacle. It was a great way to provide that particular New Year's Eve with a special moment to remember.

The flash mob event was planned and executed by a professional dance company called Living the Dream. They are an award-winning company that performs PR stunts such as this one. The company was founded in 2006 by Zoe Jackson in her mission to help young people with talent pursue their career aspirations in dance and the performing arts, as stated in the video description.

The company also runs a charity foundation that raises money for disadvantaged children, helping them to pursue their life goals. The dance troupe's staged events have gained attention on many occasions, and they have even had the honor to perform for the Queen of England, according to their website.

After the New Year's Eve performance came to a conclusion, the dancers went their separate ways. People in the crowd who witnessed the performance were interviewed immediately after the spectacle. Their comments were all positive, and most people had a smile on their face after having been pleasantly surprised by being entertained for free in a rare situation. The net result for the crowd was without a doubt a positive overall outcome.

The performance has been viewed online over 14 million times, and over 80,000 people have given likes to the post. It would be a rare treat to witness such a thing in person.
