Answer:

After 30 minutes

Explanation:

Birds pop out at:

6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 49, 54, 60 mins respectively [6 mins interval]

Also

Dancers pop out at:

15, 30, 45, 60 mins respectively [15 mins interval]

Since at birds and dancers have popped out now (let it be TIME 0), then what is the next number [in the number sequences above] where 2 of them are same??

Looking at the list, it is 30. Hence, It will happen again after 30 minutes.
