Why can't we all just get along......and dance!

I saw an interview this morning with this guy Matt Harding. He is a former video game developer who just got sick of sitting behind a desk all day and staring at a computer monitor. He quit his job and decided to travel the world with one of his friends. What started as an innocent, badly attempted, dance at each location he reached on his trip has become a national craze. Matt was contacted by Stride Gum to travel the world for a 2nd time and make a new video.

He has danced in over 80 countries, including the US, Japan, India, Bhutan, Mexico, Madagascar and so many more! He has even reached Antarctica. When you watch his videos you can't help but smile and think that the world is a much better place than people let on. People love to dance, even if they can't do it well. We should just stop fighting and follow Matt's example to enjoy life and just take it one dance step after another.

Who would have thought that some cheesy little jig would launch a former video game developer into stardom.
