There is an orthodox jewish movement known as Breslove. They follow the teachings of rabi Nachman (נחמן), who said that above all we must be happy.
This is the result:

"I was standing in line for some Shawarma in Israel when all of a sudden I look over and these guys are dancing to music in the middle of traffic!"

Yes, they really stand and dance in the middle of the traffic. And yes, it really is trance!

That's it, their purpose is to be happy and make others happy as well. Generally it works, but i'm pretty sure that every now and then there's an angry man pissed of because they stopped the traffic...
Notice also the always present van, all covered in "נחמן מאומן" (Nachman Meuman) stickers and fully equiped with the sound system! ;)
Once again, this is a religious movement, as weird as it may seem.

Hi Fiona,
"Nachman Me-Uman" is a bit of a play on words. One way, it means "Nachman from Uman", which is the town in what is now Ukraine where Rabbi Nachman is buried. It also means "believed".
Kol tuv/All goodess,
