A white man filmed himself traveling around the world dancing solo or with locals, edited the soundtrack and uploaded the four-and-a-half-minute video to the video-sharing Web site YouTube, where it has attracted more than 4 million views in just two weeks.
The "Dancing 2008" video features an ordinary-looking actor named Matt
Harding, who dances in a somewhat amusing manner, but those who have seen the video have been attracted to it and have been sending it to friends and family to watch. In the videotape, Harding total*** danced in 69 different locations, in addition to India, Kuwait, Bhutan, Tonga and other countries, but also in the United States, Nevada, Nellis Air Force Base, to experience gravity-defying dance.
Harding started coming up with the idea while living in Brisbane, Australia, a few years ago. "I love to dance on my lunch break, sometimes I get applauded and sometimes I get annoyed." He teasingly laughs, "It looks a bit like a nervous spasm."
Nowadays, he pulls locals along with him in joyful hand dances on the streets of Mumbai, at the Giant's Head in Northern Ireland, in the tulip fields of Holland, and in front of fountains in Iceland. Occasionally, he dances alone, but on Christmas Island he has crabs for an audience, and in Madagascar he is watched with wide-eyed lemurs. Occasionally, he dances alone, but on Christmas Island he has crabs as spectators and in Madagascar a group of lemurs watching him with wide eyes.
The dance video is a hit, and many people - street kids in Soweto, South Africa; aborigines in New Guinea; Bollywood dancers in India; waitresses in weird uniforms in Tokyo; and the free and open-minded people of Paris, Madrid, and Montreal - are happy to dance to his ridiculous chicken steps, especially the innocent children.
Hardin asked his friend Skillman to write a theme song for the video, "Praan," with lyrics from a Tagore poem, and his girlfriend Melissa, who works at Google, helped him find a 17-year-old Bengali girl named Siddique, who now lives in the United States, to sing.
