Dancing Dan is something of a Sacramento legend. He is by far the best sign-twirler that I have ever seen. Even in triple-digit temperatures, which we get quite frequently, his energy level is through the roof. He has been working Howe Avenue for the past 6-7 months on behalf of a new gym that opened up. He’s quite the walking advertisement for their services, as he probably has a negative body-fat percentage; although I suspect that is due to sign-dancing and not a treadmill.
We decided that Dan’s enthusiasm for dance was infectious. And since we didn’t have his number, we brought the party to him. He actually passed out cards because he was looking for dancers to work at his company. A class act and a nice guy - Dancing Dan, we salute you.

Oh. My. Fuckinggod. EVERYONE I know up in Sacramento was in that video (except for you, John. Why must you deprive me of your lusty dancing?) and it begs the question… how can you make Ed dance in public but not post on the forums?

Swede,
I was more than willing to get down with my bad self, but someone had to hold the camera.

I have a request: Rapper’s Delight, the long version. I have nothing but respect for people who get up and shake their groove thing.

I love the things you come up with!
I felt kinda bad for the big guy on the left hand side, he was going strong at first then he suddenly leaned on the pole and then wandered off a few minutes before everyone else. Hope he’s OK!
