Edinburgh locals spotted breaking out in spontaneous dance in city centre

Edinburgh locals were spotted dancing in the city centre in what was described as a "beautiful moment".

Captured on TikTok, a man and a woman can be seen dancing on Waverley Bridge as buskers play on the other side of the barrier. While it is not yet the Festival Fringe, it hasn't stopped locals from getting into the spirit of entertaining.

People are crowded around listening to the buskers but it is the duo that grabbed Shannon's attention as he captioned the video: 'I saw this beautiful moment today'.

She added the song This is the Life by Scottish singer Amy MacDonald playing over the pair who looked like they were having the time of their lives.

The duo can be seen spinning each other around and smiling as they copy each other's dance moves.

It is just a taster of what can happen during August at the festival, but Edinburgh locals are known to burst into a dance no matter what the occasion.

In 2021, while the arts festival was limited due to the pandemic, a socially distant crowd danced to a jazz band. In a viral video, it showed the crowd were made up of a host of different ages, genders and ethnicities as they moved to the music.

At the time of the pandemic, one user commented: "Finally some parts of life are going back to how they used to be."
