A woman who missed a connecting flight and was stranded overnight in an airport in North Carolina decided to make the best of her delay by asking staff and passersby to dance for a rendition of Lionel Richie’s 1983 classic “All Night Long.” The video, posted Saturday, went viral within days of hitting the internet.

Sharing the video to Reddit on Monday, user Death__BySnuSnu wrote: “My sister was stranded at the Charlotte airport overnight and decided to make the most of it.” The post had made its way to the Reddit’s front page by Monday evening and received hundreds of comments.

The video shows the woman, YouTuber Mahshid Mazooji, managing to convince a Starbucks barista, several airline staff, security and strangers to show off their best moves for the clip. Mazooji can be seen in the video moonwalking and shimming through the Charlotte, North Carolina, airport.

“So there I was, stranded in Charlotte Douglas International Airport, completely lost my cool and furious that I had no way of getting home anytime soon,” Mazooji wrote Saturday morning on Facebook. “I had to check myself annnnd my attitude! What good was it going to do being pissed all night long?? Why not make light of it? And DANCE All Night Long!? So that's exactly what I did, and I met some awesome folks along the way!”
