Overview

A group of four performers, dressed as cafe workers, execute a high-energy, choreographed dance routine on a red carpet in Times Square at night. They use coffee cups as props and one performer holds a sign promoting "Lola's Caferet," while dancing to an upbeat song. The video is framed by a text overlay suggesting this is how they spend their 15-minute work break.
