A Nigerian dancer is attempting to dance non-stop for seven days in order to set a new world record.
Benjamin Daniel, known as Ben Dancer, is aiming to dance for 168 hours - 41 hours longer than the current record for the longest individual dance marathon.
Guinness World Records has yet to confirm whether the attempt qualifies as an official record. The BBC has contacted the organisation for comment.
The scene around him has become something of a street party. Crowds of young people have gathered to cheer him on.
