Dancing king...

I was so excited to see this video on my mom's Facebook page yesterday -- I've been waiting four years for a new Dancing Matt video! If you haven't seen the one from 2008, you should check out this guy's website and watch it first -- I think I like the new one even better than the last one (and I really loved that one from 2008), because there's actual choreography in this one... AND, he got into North Korea. How did he get into North Korea?!?


This video just makes me ridiculously happy when I watch it. Just like last time, I'm struck by how something so silly and simple can bring together people from all over the world -- from crowded cities to remote jungles -- for one single purpose. There's so much negativity and conflict in the world -- so many perceived "differences" that apparently require drastic, dramatic, excessive action -- but when you really get down to the basics, we're all just... people. And that's it. People who occasionally like to dance. And some of us (me) may look like total dorks when we do so... but I'm still going to watch this video for the fiftieth time and join in for a few steps...
