Students from Hillingdon Manor School performed a fun flash mob in front of surprised shoppers in Uxbridge on Friday (April 29) to raise awareness of Autism Dance Day.

The 17 students, along with street dance teacher Jonathon Baron, performed a choreographed dance to the public outside the Pavillions shopping centre, and even taught the Mayor of Hillingdon some moves at the event.

The event was organised by Jonathon Baron in conjunction with autism charity Anna Kennedy Online .

Autism Dance Day takes place annually on the last Friday of April, and aims to raise money and awareness for autism spectrum disorder through dance.

Anna Kennedy OBE, founder Anna Kennedy Online , said: "The Mayor and Mayoress and Gabriel my Zumba dance teacher came to support the children from Hillingdon . They were impressed, as were their parents and public watching.

"There was a huge crowd encouraging the pupils, clapping and singing. Families were very proud watching their children performing outside the Pavillions.

"Jonathon Baron, the pupils' street dance teacher, has done an amazing job with the pupils, his enthusiasm spills over with the children. It was a fun event and was the cherry on the cake to finish Autism Awareness Month."
