Man’s contagious enthusiasm starts dance party with entire crowd

Dancing is contagious.

When a good melody is playing and the vibrations get your body moving, you can’t help but give in to that primal urge to dance.

And when there are multiple people dancing all at once, the urge is even stronger.

It’s as if by adding more people, you are simultaneously increasing the energy that is moving all around you.

For one dancer at the Sasquatch music festival, the urge to dance was much too strong for him to overcome.

He starts off by dancing alone, enjoying the song that the band on stage is playing.

His moves are big and bold, they test the limits of human movement.

As others begin to notice this man dancing and having a good time, the urge to dance must begin to swell inside of them as well.

However, no one gets up to join him.

Their sense of self-consciousness holds them back.

Finally, a young guy runs over and starts dancing with the man.

The man pats him on the back and grabs onto his hands.

They dance and jump around together, enjoying the feelings that they are both experiencing in that moment of freedom.

Then another man decides to join.

He runs in and starts moving his body in all directions, clearing having a great time.

From there, two or three more people run towards the small group of dancers and join in on the fun.

What started as one man enjoying himself and dancing alone to the music, quickly turns into an all-out dance party.

People start running in from all directions letting out cheers and hoots and hollers.

And the dance party continues to grow.

Now people are sprinting to the dance circle, jumping over anything and anyone in their way.

The group of dancers bounce and move together in a continuous mass of excitement with arms flying through the air and cheers of joy emanating from within.

The band continues to play their song and more people continue to run in.

By now, there are maybe a hundred people all gathered together and enjoying the freedom that comes along with expressive movement and human connection.

This video is a great reminder of how important it is to express yourself freely.

That man who started to dance on his own was the sole reason that this dance party became the awesome spectacle that it was.

Smart Recovery tells us that, “Expressive arts bridge the gap between the conscious and unconscious mind. When we put our mental process into a physical form, we feel more in control of our thoughts and feelings, and we understand them more clearly.”

Had that man be encumbered by his self-consciousness, it would have denied all of those people an experience that many of them will remember for years to come.

So the next time that you are feeling the urge to dance, don’t hold back.

Because when you aren’t concerned with how other people will perceive you, you allow others to enjoy themselves freely as well.

And that truly is the greatest gift that you can give to someone.

So don’t be shy, don’t be embarrassed, and please, whatever you do, don’t stop dancing.
