This type of thing must happen all the time in England, since passengers in the clip barely even look up from their morning tabs as the crew moonwalks, pops, and locks their way through the train. Maybe Britain is like a real-life version of the old "Bad" video where the streets are filled with roving dance teams who do battle and express their urban angst through the power of pop choreography.
