One of the best stories of the last 12 months.
The internet reacted brilliantly earlier this year when the photo above appeared on 4Chan with the caption, “Spotted this specimen trying to dance the other week. He stopped when he saw us laughing.”
The cruel message was blasted from all quarters and Cassandra Fairbanks, an activist and writer based in Los Angeles for the Free Thought Project, wanted to make it up to the man, the ‘Dancing Man.’
She put a request out on Twitter and eventually tracked ‘Dancing Man’ down.

His name is Sean O’Brien and he lives in London, but Cassandra offered to get him out to LA so they could have a big party in his honour.
That party takes place this weekend with Moby, Ellie Goulding and Pharrell Williams all getting involved.
He’s already met some stars and Sean ‘Dancing Man’ O’Brien even busted some moves with Megan Trainor on live TV.

We’re delighted for him.
