Originally posted on 4chan's /b forum, the Dancing Man is a collection of two photos; one of an overweight man dancing fervently, and the other of the same man bowing his head in humiliation as (presumeably) a group of people laugh at him. The caption of the photo said: "Spotted this specimen trying to dance the other week. He stopped when he saw us laughing." Due to the mean-spirited nature of the post, a Twitter user decided to start a #dancingman campaign to find the Dancing Man, and furthermore invite him to a massive party with hundreds of woman in LA. This hastag quickly blew up on Twitter, with even celebrities like Pharrell Williams, Moby, and Ellie Goulding supporting the cause and opting to perform at the party. The Dancing Man was eventually identified as a London native named Sean, who will attend the party.

The act of dancing where only men are involved. Also, a dance floor full of men. Generally, the DJ (or one of the man-dancers) will yell out "MAN DANCE!!" and all the women will have to exit the dance floor and watch from the sidelines, much in the fashion of a lifeguard blowing a whistle to signal the start of an adult swim. The females then observe the dance moves of the males, selecting their mate based upon what they see.
Last night the whole club erupted into a man dance, and sure enough, Jessica saw my moves and was thoroughly impressed!
