We've all seen – and admired – Bollywood productions for the complexity of their dance routines, but chances are not many of us caught one of them live, on board an airplane.

On January 17, this is precisely what happened for passengers on board a Finnair flight from Helsinki to New Delhi.

All the flight attendants strutted in and performed a Bollywood-inspired routine, to prove that they were familiar with, respected and loved India's culture.

Helena Kaartinen did the choreography, with some help from a former Finnair staffer who went on to become a Bolywood dancer.

The resulting video was uploaded by Finnair on YouTube on January 25, to honor India's 63rd Republic Day on the 26th, and of course, you can see it in full above.
