Some residents where shy at first, but once their friends invited them onto the dance floor there was no stopping them from dancing their hearts out.
Every now and then a circle would form and residents cheered as those in the middle impressed the crowd with unique dance moves. The residents also formed a train that circled the room multiple times.
