Matt Harding’s 2008 video showing him dancing with people all across the world brought joy to tens of millions. In looking over a now defunct blog, I rediscovered this internet treasure.

Here is the video in all of its glory:

Matt’s joy while dancing badly (his own words) is palpable. While his movements emulate a flailing chicken, his infectious smile highlights every scene. My favorite scenes are the ones featuring young children and unique landscapes. I’m pretty sure one of Matt’s favorites is experiencing zero gravity at Nellis Airspace in Nevada. What a treat.

I also love the soundtrack. I can’t imagine another one accompanying this video. Thank you, Matt. Thank you for sharing this video in 2008 and thank you for keeping it around for me to enjoy in 2020. It has aged marvelously.
