You may have heard of the global phenomenon of dance-walking, started by NBC’s Ben Aaron… If not, here’s a mini-history: Ben was taping on the streets of NYC when he saw a guy dancing in the background, while walking. Ben crossed the street and danced with him, then created an entire segment for NBC about Dance-Walking. People around the world responded, and even created charities and fundraisers out of the goofy past-time.
Here’s a video explaining how it all went down:
Nice work, Ben… And Happy Monday!

Nothing feels as good as, well, feeling good!!!
The 1970s ancestor of dance-walking:
ha, Justin you are correct. I am from NYC and I have seen this guy dance-walking way before the viral video.
It’s a lovely phenomenon. Thanks for sharing Joanna.
Hahaha, Justin!
You’re so much nicer than I am, Shawn! I told Joanna that dance walking guy gives me a violent impulse.
