Around 50 young dancers surprised shoppers in Bath city centre with a flash mob performance.
The group, which was organised by students from the University of Bath and included dancers from across the city, put on the show to raise awareness for the Friends of Young Carers.
They cleared an area in Union Street and danced for three minutes, starting with some classical ballroom, moving through to street dance, and ending with a rendition of Gangnam Style.
A crowd of shoppers stopped to watch the performance and cheered the young dancers when it was finished.
Business administration student Renate Leknes was one of those who came up with the idea and said they just wanted to do something good for the community.
She said: "We knew a little bit about the charity, so we thought we should do something which brings out the child in us all - dancing!"
Fellow student Harry Fielder said because all the performers came from different dance schools it had been difficult to rehearse, but everyone had put a lot of work in.
"We had a big rehearsal yesterday evening," he said. "But all of the schools have had a bit of music to come up with some dance moves to, then we came together for a group performance of Psy's Gangnam Style."
One of the dance schools involved was Freedom Through Dance, which is based above the Co-op in Moorland Road.
Dance teachers Amy Young and Leah Moodie said it was a great chance for the pupils to show off their skills to a large audience.
Amy said: "We've been rehearsing for about three weeks, working on it every Saturday, so it's been quite quick.
"We've got about 25 dancers who are performing here today."
Friends of Young Carers is a charity which supports children and teenagers across Bath and north east Somerset.
