Forget planes, London Luton Airport ground handlers were waving their arms in the air for a whole different reason - as they performed a ‘high-octane’ dance routine featuring their iconic aircraft marshalling wands.<br/><br/>The group of 21 unveiled their talents beside the runway to Joel Corry’s hit ‘Head & Heart’ to signal the start of the much-anticipated Radio 1’s Big Weekend, which is kicking off in Luton’s Stockwood Park this Friday.<br/><br/>Led by celebrity choreographer, Remi Black – who has previously worked with six-time BRITS award-winner and R1BW headliner RAYE - the routine took several hours to perfect and featured high-vis vests, headphones, and illuminated signalling wands.<br/><br/>Supported by LLA colleagues from across the airport and talented local dancers from Luton College and Next Gen Youth Theatre, the wands and multi-coloured LED sticks lit up the runway - turning the heads of passengers landing and waiting to take off nearby.<br/><br/>Neil Thompson, chief operations officer at London Luton Airport, said: \
