Lunchtime dances, known as "Lunchbeats" are taking off in Sweden. Instead of grabbing a sandwich, popping to the canteen or eating at their desks, hundreds of Swedes are hitting the dance floor during their breaks in a bid to inject a bit more fun into their lunch hours. It is, according to one organiser, who spoke to the BBC, a "dance revolution", but one that also runs to a tight schedule – revellers begin promptly at noon and finish at 1pm.
What would you say to a boogie at lunch? Or perhaps you have your own methods for enlivening the torpor of the working day? Tell us all about them.
