A bus stop dancer who was videotaped at a bus stop in the U.K. told the media that she was picked up by a professional theater production.

Ellie Cole was captured on camera dancing in the town of Eastleigh to Alesha Dixon’s “Knock Down,” and another woman filmed her across the street.

Cole told NBC that she likes to dance “unfortunately, but as my mum always said, I have more rhythm than sense.”

In the video, called “Eastleigh’s Got Talent,” Cole is shown dancing while Abba’s “Dancing Queen” plays in the background.

A writer with the play AH Men at The Point Theatre in Eastleigh saw the video and invited her to come, reported to the Daily Telegraph.

“I’m just a normal everyday person who happens to like dancing at bus stops. Still to this day I find it hard to believe what happened with the video,” she told the paper. “It’s like ‘wow, why me?’.”

The Telegraph said Cole, 35, studied performing arts in college before dropping out because she could not afford it.
