Spontaneous acts of riverdancing
Those who were passing through Munich’s Marienplatz on St. Patrick’s Day were treated to a little stealth Irish jigging. The ‘flashmob’ performance was pulled off beautifully, starting with a small line of dancers.
Out of nowhere more folks in green shirts appeared and joined in the fun.
The group grew and grew; each time the new participants seemed to materialize out of thin air. One moment they were plain-clothed observers, the next green-wearing dancing machines (or in two cases, sheep-costume-wearing dancing machines).
Here’s a video of the event. It was enough to make one wish for a green pint of beer.
