Irish dance flash mobs have been everywhere this year from Irish weddings to Shannon airport! But here’s a really dramatic hard shoe dance that brought a train station in The Hague to a standstill doing the 2014 Oireachtas.

Although the video is a little dark there’s something about the sound of a synchronize group doing a hard shoe dance that never fails to give us goose bumps.

What’s great is that the crowd is totally transfixed and then as soon as they finish the dancers blending into the bustle of the station again.
