Last Friday, Coffee Milano Cafe in Middleborough, Massachusetts posted a sign advertising a deal offering customers free coffee if they danced into the shop. “Want a FREE COFFEE?? Walk in and give us your BEST Dance moves for 5 seconds!!” the sign read, adding that their marvelous moves would be recorded for social media — and it turns out people were not shy in the slightest. On Sunday, the coffee shop showing what happened after the sign was posted.
The clip is set to Los del Río’s “Macarena” and starts with a woman who kicks off her shoes to bust a move, followed by folks doing Irish jigs, waltzes, flossing, conga lines and so much more. The happy faces of the dancers is also reflected in the comments section of the video, which garnered more than 7 million views and over 15,000 comments. “This is such a good way to spread positivity,” one TikTok user.
“Girl took off her shoes and moonwalked! She deserved 2 cups,” another, and someone else , “1st girl is vibes.” “Why am I crying?! This makes me sooo happy,” another TikTok user, and many replied saying they were moved to tears, too. The cafe’s owner, Josh Rashid, tells TODAY.
com he got the idea after he saw a pizza shop do the same dancing deal for free slices on social media. “I was like, ‘This is genius.’” The next day his social media manager teased the promotion and he posted a sign on the door.
“We had probably 15, 20 people show up and dance for us,” he says. “It was kind of cool.” Rashid says he’s thrilled the comments section is overwhelmingly positive.
“You know, life isn’t always easy,” he says. “Sometimes you just see something that puts the greatest smile on your face, and it brings tears to your eyes.” Rashid says customers have been asking if he plans on throwing more dance-for-coffee parties, so the shop’s social media pages are already hinting at the next one.
“Just keep dancing,” he says. “Enjoy life. It’s short.
It’s fun. We have good days, we have bad days, but sometimes a coffee and a dance makes it all better.” Washington, D.
