Watch: The great attack of the flash mob in Sandton

An organised flash mob at the Gautrain Sandton Station brought back the cheer for travellers.

Sometimes waiting for the next train can be agonising, but for a few Gautrain travellers based in Sandton, waiting was not an issue as they were entertained by a collective of dancers busting a move over the weekend.

Just outside of the station, an individual who presented himself as a businessman kick-started the flash mob trend with a solo performance of Bruno Mars and Mark Ronson’s song, Uptown Funk.

As the music progressed, more dancers popped up, seemingly from nowhere, which made the atmosphere just the merrier.

The tone changed as the music transitioned to Michael Jackson’s song, Beat it. A fully-fledged flash mob took on the centre showing travellers that dancing can cure anything.

Dancers brought it back home as they concluded with Jerusalema produced by Master KG. Many travellers and bystanders who knew the viral dance steps of the song joined in on the fun.
