Music has a magical way of moving people, regardless of their age.

This universal truth was beautifully demonstrated when a six-year-old girl named Zoe felt the irresistible urge to dance.

While on a school trip in London, Zoe was captivated by the melodies of the iconic musical, “Mary Poppins,” played by a street pianist.

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

As the music flows, Zoe, dressed in a vibrant yellow outfit reminiscent of a “Mary Poppins” character, walks by.

Without hesitation, she places her bag down, signaling to everyone that a dance performance is about to commence.

After the impromptu performance, Kavanagh, curious about the talented young dancer, leans in to chat with Zoe.

He inquires about her name and ensures she’s accompanied by a guardian.

When asked why she decided to dance, Zoe’s simple reply was, “Because I liked the music.”

Truly, what better reason is there to dance?

Impressively, Zoe recognized the song Kavanagh was playing as being from “Mary Poppins.”

She even confidently pronounced the tongue-twisting word “supercalifragilisticexpialidocious,” a popular song from the musical.

The word, as described in the musical, is used when one is at a loss for words.
