Young girls dancing the Macarena.

Funny. I always thought Macarena was a biscuit. Shows what I know. That guitarist looks a bit like someone who used to be a frequent poster on this forum. I like that there is a bit of movement in the image IE the blurred hair. Not sure about the detail at the top of the image, though it does set a reference. Did you join in?

We just came out of the Centre Georges Pompidou after seeing a photographic collection of Cartier-Bresson and this musician started to play and the girls lined up one after the other and starting line-dancing the Macarena. Were they school friends, we will never know. I only had my pocket camera and as I walked backward I bumped a pickpocket, who was just behind me searching for my wallet or anything valuable. Caught in the act he spoke in French and quickly and nervously passed some money to a female accomplice and walked away quickly. By the time I checked myself to ensure nothing has been taken the dance had stopped and the girls disbanded.

I've seen this sort of things happening before in Europe, an street musician starts to play and a flash mob joins in to dance and quickly disperses once the magic of the moment breaks and the music stops.
