Music has a magical way of moving everyone, from the young at heart to the very young, like a six-year-old girl named Zoe.

On a school trip to London, Zoe encountered the enchanting melodies of “Mary Poppins” played by a street pianist.

Little did she know, her spontaneous dance would soon make her an internet star.

The scene opens with Brendan Kavanagh, a well-known YouTuber and pianist, serenading the streets with a “Mary Poppins” tune.

Zoe, in her charming yellow outfit and hat, seemed to have stepped right out of the musical.

She confidently placed her bag down, as if to announce, “Watch out, world, I’m about to dance!” And dance she did, with all her heart.

After the dance, Brendan chatted with Zoe, inquiring about her name and if she was accompanied by an adult. Zoe mentioned her teacher was nearby.

When asked why she stopped to dance, Zoe simply replied, “Because I liked the music.”

A pure and perfect reason to dance!

Zoe’s knowledge of the music was impressive too.

She recognized the tune from “Mary Poppins” and could even pronounce “supercalifragilisticexpialidocious,” a challenging word even for adults, as the writer humorously notes.
