Strike: in Rome and France, the viral dance "Knock Tock" took center stage at the march.

Rome, October 30 (askanews) – Rome, like Paris. At the demonstration in the capital organized by grassroots unions against the high cost of living and the war, some young people danced to the tune of "Toc Toc" in front of the police. The song, by Patrick Sébastien, is over 10 years old and has recently gone viral on social media, accompanied by a dance routine (hopping on one foot while miming the act of knocking on a door).

Then came the wave of student protests in France, and the dance moved from the bedrooms to the streets, thanks largely to a young Frenchman (@bisouboge, on the right in the video), who was among the first to repeat the choreography in front of clashes, police, and burning garbage cans. From there, it spread to many squares where students are taking part in this autumn of protests, including Italy.
