The pavement is his stage, his shadow his teacher and Chiswick shoppers his audience as Ziggy Dust struts his stuff.
Spinning, sliding, sauntering and sweeping, he daily has strangers stopped in their tracks.
Self-named Ziggy Dust is a Polish migrant who is regularly seen dancing while he goes about his daily work as a street sweeper on Chiswick High Road.
Christened Zbigniew Colbecki, he has lived in Loring Road, Isleworth, for three years and says he loves to make people smile.
"I love to see people smile when they see me dancing in the street when collecting rubbish," he said. "I have over 15,000 songs on my Ipod. I love Funky House, James Brown, New Jazz, Amy Winehouse and many more."
Ziggy, 47, moved from his home town Torun after he started struggling in his career as a watchmaker. "My plan is to eventually move to Brazil, but at the moment I am happy working in Chiswick," he said. "I really like it here everybody is so friendly and I have made lots of friends."
