Sat 8 May 2010. - 'Take Art take Pride' dance event in Ramsgate Town Centre to encourage people to take pride in their environment and get rid of litter.
Bewildered residents watched Ramsgate Arts Group perform the second Take Art Take Pride event, designed to raise awareness over litter.
Organiser Sue Kennedy said: "The event went really well and it shows what you can organise if you put your mind to it."
Mrs Kennedy hopes the dance stunts in Ramsgate will deliver a strong message to the public on antisocial behaviour.
She added: "This highlights the biggest hate of all for people in Ramsgate, which is litter, and I hope this makes a difference."
Three artistically decorated wheelie bins, one with a large mouth, were positioned on street corners.
The group performed three songs before disappearing as quickly as they arrived.
