A dance-floor that only exists when no-one is there

In the shadows of a pedestrian under-pass, the approaching viewer sees a set of under-floor lights twinkling in the darkness. As they draw nearer, the viewer discovers a 70’s under-lit dance-floor pulsing silently to an unheard rhythm. As the viewer nears the apparition though, the lights vanish. All that is left behind is a drab, tiled walkway and an inert floor. If the viewer stays very still though, the apparition returns – bathing them in a warm pulsating glow from bygone era. However, if the viewer attempts to dance (or makes just the slightest of moves), the pulsing dance-floor once more vanishes.
