Dance With Me?

The samba band are regular buskers that play next to the Hungerford Bridge, and after several observations I found that people do stop to appreciate and listen to their music, but hardly ever get involved and start dancing even though in most cases it looks like they want to. I have noticed that especially in England people are generally very reluctant to interact with each other, whereas in Chile where I'm from it is socially acceptable to talk to or interact with strangers to a certain extent.
I wanted to see if I started dancing whether people would get involved and interact with me or still stick to their 'accepted' social behaviour.

Throughout the 45 minutes I spent dancing, 18 people came to dance with me. 12 men and 6 women.

I also wanted to see what the results were if; instead of me (a girl), a boy were dancing, how would the results differ. I conducted a preliminary test but in the short 10 minutes my friend Josh spent dancing no one was willing to dance, though further testing is needed.
