The 4chan user wrote: “Spotted this specimen trying to dance the other week. He stopped when he saw us laughing.”
The post was screenshot and posted on Imgur, where it gained a lot attention. Mostly, people were disgusted that some stranger made this guy feel bad about getting down with his bad self in public.
The pictures were picked up by Twitter user Cassandra Fairbanks, who put out a call to find the guy and organize something special for him.
Anyone know this man or who posted this? There’s a huge group of ladies in LA who would like to do something special pic.twitter.com/DGbu3AXOrB

Fairbanks said she was a little worried about circulating the photo even further and embarrassing him, but she thought it was already out there and was more concerned about turning a negative into a positive.
Then she was sent this photo of a man who looked just like our dancing guy and was wearing the same wristband.
An lo and behold, it was him! The internet had found the dancing man!
