\n There are protests \u2014 and then there are Atlanta protests, complete with Macarena-dancing National Guard soldiers.<\/p>\n

Days of anti-police brutality demonstrations in the city have been marred by isolated looting and violence \u2014 but a positive, street-carnival atmosphere has prevailed overall.<\/p>\n

Protesters have even convinced Georgia National Guard soldiers to join them in an impromptu dance party, as happ<\/a>ened Friday night.<\/p>\n

Fifteen minutes before the 8 p.m. curfew, a line of soldiers in riot gear gave the Macarena their all, according to a clip tweeted by Los Angeles Times reporter Jenny Jarvie.<\/p>\n

After the dancing, the protesters left without incident, Fox 5 Atlanta reported.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut they left behind this one perfect moment,\u201d the Fox report noted, below an aerial clip of the festivities.<\/p>\n

A similar, protester-soldier dance-fest \u2014 this time featuring the Cha-Cha Slide and the Cupid Shuffle \u2014 happened Thursday, according to a clip tweeted by Atlanta-based 11Alive reporter Hope Ford.<\/p>\n

\u201cA woman brought out her loud speaker and said this was intentional,\u201d Ford tweeted. \u201cShe wanted to play music and lift everyone\u2019s spirits.\u201d<\/p>\n

That woman, protester Amisha Harding, told Ford through tears that she simply needed to cut through the darkness.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe atmosphere was so heavy. People were screaming \u2018eff the police,’\u201d she said. \u201cIt was very dark \u2026 and we kept saying, \u2018what can we do to change the energy?’\u201d<\/p>\n

As the Intercept noted on Saturday, \u201cAtlanta protests differently.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Saturday, Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms said she is lifting the evening\u2019s planned 8 p.m. curfew because there were no arrests on Friday.<\/p>\n

The curfew had been instituted on the previous Friday after a downtown protest devolved into window-smashing, looting and arsons.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
