Never forget, the Internet can actually do good things every now and then. Take this story for example.
When the man above was spotted dancing and having a good time, some punk and his friends started laughing at him until he stopped. They then immediately posted the photos to the Internet to try to make him feel even worse in front of more people. The caption read in part: “Spotted this specimen trying to dance the other week,” the poster wrote. “He stopped when he saw us laughing.”
But an awesome thing happened once the photo went viral. The majority of commenters issued positive support for the guy. That was nice enough. But things only got better from there.
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

A woman named Cassandra Fairbanks decided to start a Twitter campaign, #FindDancingMan. In addition to asking everyone for help in finding the man, she also offered up a huge dance party for the guy with Cassandra and 1,700 or so of her closest female friends.
That was all it took for Dancing Man to pop up very quickly. Apparently he lives in London and his real name is Sean. Sean has since connected with Cassandra and it seems the dance party is definitely on once Sean returns from a trip in Kiev.
YAY TWITTER!!! @Dancingmanfound #FindDancingMan ️️️ We are going to dance!!! pic.twitter.com/G7FxuiSsIh

The party will be in Los Angeles, but it won’t cost Sean a dime. A GoFundMe page has already raised over $4,600 for Sean’s trip.
I spoke to him, he’s free in a couple weeks, he’s currently in Kiev, but we are planning the best party ever 🙂 @FelicityMorse
