That is really simply amazing. I would give anything to have been all those places like him. Someday I hope to be able to do something like that. Unreal. I have barely scratched the surface. Made me really want to get exploring again : ) Great video!!

Your dad’s great. That’s two quotes directly from him that are fantastical.

What’s more awesome is he was sponsored by stride to travel around the world doing that! First by himself, and then again with the dancing crowds! Talk about falling into an out of this world opportunity!

Dude Sarah knows!!! It _is_ a great story though. Do you know the thing about why Vancouver’s in it?
Pop quiz hot shot!!

Love it! I am so drawn to these kinds of videos as well- I can’t help but smile and reassure myself that the world may not be going to hell in a hand basket after all. If you liked this one, be sure to check out some “good” dancing here, too: http://www.oprah.com/article/oprahshow/20090908-tows-flash-mob-dance

Hey, I was in that video! Yessiree, one of the Vancouverites… and the proof is in the pudding:

Matt was a really nice guy, too. I hope he gets a chance to actually experience some of the places he visits. I love watching his videos – and it was fun to help him make (a very small part of) one. :)
More dancing, less killing indeed! Have you seen Sir Ken Robinson’s video in where he says that dance isn’t given nearly enough importance in schools? Very cool clip… if you have time to watch it all, it’s funny and totally worth your time:
