Wellington's bopping lollipop man, Cody Cooper-Martin, entertains drivers with his dancing moves while manning the stop-go control at the roadworks on Evans Bay Parade.

The grey pavement, sky, and drizzling rain are no match for the fluorescent orange figure grooving to unheard music on the side of Wellington's Evans Bay Parade.

Cody Cooper-Martin, 21, has directed traffic seven hours a day, five days a week since December.

The dancing was to stay moving, keep the job interesting, and bring a smile to passers-by. “It’s a bit boring out here. You get a bit brain-numb.”

What was he listening to? “I have no idea! Actually, I’m on the phone to my bro [at the other end of the road], and he’s got his speaker going.”

He’s never held a desire to be on the stage, but his skills on the pavement have left an impression on the public.

People honk their horns, wave, or dance along behind their steerings wheels.

His colleagues on the construction site were all for it.

“The guys love it,” Cooper-Martin said. “As long as we aren’t getting complaints, and we haven’t had a complaint yet.”

His dream would be to have lots of money and not have to work - but for now, he keeps the grey at bay with some fancy footwork.
