If you are not familiar with Matt Harding, here is a brief breakdown.
He was a computer programmer, video games mostly, who got tired of his job and decided to tour the world with his earnings. He uploaded a video of him dancing in a silly way to the internet, and sent it to friends as a joke...and it took root, and quickly became one of the net's first viral videos.
This is that video:
The way he shook his booty to the music in amazing and beautiful places captured the attention of the fickle internet audience, and before he knew it he was one of the first "internet superstars" (before youtube, even).
The reaction shocked him, and after gaining a sponsor (the then new brand of "Stride Gum"), he set out to create a new video to share the world with us.
He built a following of millions, even though his youtube channel didn't follow it. People adored his simple view of life and the world. It was then that he knew this would be a major part of his life. Not as a money making venture, but rather something he enjoyed and loves to share.
In 2012 he released his last major Dancing video, with a custom soundtrack and improved production values.
I know this video well, as it is what I based my 2012 Trip Video on:
Now Matt has announced a kickstarter and a sort of competition:
