A cafe in Massachusetts has the most exciting way of engaging customers as it offers them a free coffee for showing their dance moves.
After a long tiring day at work, some people may find it relaxing to chill at a nearby cafe with a hot cup of refreshing coffee. The evening would turn even more delightful if you were given a coffee for free. Sounds too dreamy to be real? Well, a cafe named "Coffee Milano" (@coffeemilanocafe) in Massachusetts serves its customers coffee for free but not before they show their dance moves. What probably started as a quirky promotional tactic has become an internet sensation. A similar TikTok video shared featuring a compilation of the best dance moves has gained popularity online.
The 59-second cinematic video captures an ordinary cafe turn into an unexpected stage for impromptu dance performances. The TikTok video begins with a vibrant woman entering the cafe and trying to impress everyone with her moonwalk. The clip shows various customers dancing their way to win a free cup of coffee. From an elderly couple's romantic performance to a sweet dance performance by a mother and her toddler, the video beautifully explains how small moments of dance can unite people of all generations. The video received an overwhelming response on social media with several heartwarming reactions from people globally.

@steeleetiktok commented, "I want to open up a coffee shop just to do this I would be giving myself all the free coffees." @kellytravis0421 commented, "Greatest idea. Such a great way to spread joy and happiness. Kudos to this coffee shop." @monicaandreia84 wrote, "This is such an awesome idea! I’m sure it entertained the staff but also lifted the customers' spirits as well." Meanwhile, @alabamawhorley1122 commented, "I would do this & still pay for my coffee just so I could have an excuse to enter a building dancing without being committed."
Talking exclusively to WBZ-TV, the cafe owner Josh Rashid said, "Whoever shows up and dances gets a free coffee." Further, talking about the inspiration behind the extravagant idea, he revealed, "We saw a pizza shop do it. And I'm like, 'Let's do that for coffee.'" While Rashid initially had no idea that this innovative scheme would blow up this way, he is extremely happy with the customers' reactions. It is pertinent to mention that the deal to win a coffee by dancing is only available on certain days and has been a huge hit with customers.
To avail of this amazing chance, one has to keep an eagle eye on the coffee shop's social media accounts. "If you want to get a free coffee, keep an eye on the cafe's Instagram, Facebook and TikTok accounts," Rashid added. Additionally, when the outlet reached out to a customer named Joh Murrayn, he said, "I come here every day for coffee in the morning and lunch in the afternoon. We need a little more softness in this world for sure."
