This adorable little lad was not afraid of showing off his dance moves in public - break dancing in front of a Leicester Square street performer.

The boy was with his mother and father when they passed by the human beat box entertainer in the bustling tourist spot in the West End of London last Wednesday at 5pm.

Despite hundreds of people walking by, the boy didn't suffer with the stage freight that actors in the area's theatres so often experience, and he set about dancing and doing cart wheels for more than five minutes.

The lad was eventually dragged away by his mother but clearly wanted to stay in the busy area throwing 'shapes' as admiring tourists looked on.

Filmer Randolph Frost, from Hammersmith, said: ''The little lad was really enjoying the beat boxing. He didn't want to leave. He was dancing for about five minutes.

''He was confident with his moves, clapping his hands, nodding his head and moving his legs. I think he has a bright future ahead of him.''
