Break dancers fail to impress commuters at St Pancras station

It would appear that break dancing is still very much a thing. Here St Pancras station gets the treatment, to promote the Breakin’ Convention at Sadler’s Wells, from 5-7 May.

I do enjoy the middle aged man with an umbrella who walks briskly past with a look of cold disdain. And all the other people who were so tightly focussed on their objective (commuting) that they failed to give this spectacle the time of day.

What have we become? Can the glory days of railway station advertising dance stunts really be over?

Only time will tell.
