Dancing Man Found



|DANCE YOUR WAY|

                 While, I was surfing my social networking wall pages, a post literally hit me. As the title says the story was about a dancing man. As per the story, several weeks ago, two photos were posted in the image board of 4Chan by anonymous person. The photos were captioned "Spotted this specimen trying to dance the other week. He stopped when he saw us laughing." This particularly mean-spirited post indicates the cyber bully and the man in the photos was the victim. According to media, the man was actually trying to have a good time dancing in the concert at London, but when he saw the peoples laughing at him, he felt humiliated and stopped dancing. The post was viral.
POST IN 4CHAN

Los Angeles resident Cassandra Fairbanks was horrified to discover this particularly mean-spirited post . Then Cassandra appealed her group consisting of 2000 of Los Angeles’ most inspiring and wonderful ladies, to find the victim and throw him a party so that he won't feel embarrassed anymore. The concerned ladies started the ANTI-BULLYING CAMPAIGN with a hash tag "#FindDancingMan" in twitter and other social networking sites.
  Cassandra twitted,"Anyone know this man or who posted this? There's a huge group of ladies in LA who would like to do something special." with the photos. 
The campaign went viral.Cassandra, who started the campaign, was initially worried about spreading the dancing man’s photos further, but knew she had to take a stand. “I decided to tweet it and our offer in the hopes if he did see it, he would see something positive instead of a bunch of people upset,” she told BuzzFeed. Thanks to giant social networking companies, after a week one of the guy from London, twitted that he found the bullied dancing man in London.He had posted his pictures too. So the man was Sean O’Brien from London. Cassa and her colleagues were happy to find him. They are throwing a party for him. Cassa says, "Everyone should be able to dance and have a nice evening without cruelty, and we are awesome at parties."
Eventually the 'Dancing Man' stepped forward and revealed himself by launching his own Twitter account, @Dancingmanfound

Known  as Sean, he told Cassandra on Twitter: “Massive thanks to all and what a party in waiting !!! Completely overwhelmed”.



                     Supporters have raised more than $30,000 to fund “the dance party of a lifetime”, which will benefit an anti-bullying campaign. Details about the party are still to be determined, but Fairbanks is hoping to set up plenty of photos and a Livestream of the event, saying, Sean's "a beloved rock star and so many people globally wish to dance with him."  Fairbanks is currently running a crowdfunding campaign for the party via GoFundMe that has so far reached more than $30,000 . Pharrell joined in on the amazing endeavor and even admitted interest in a possible performance at the party. Moby offered his DJ services and Andrew W.K. also said he would attend.

                Cassandra has also been extending her gratitude toward celebrities like Pharrell Williams and Moby, who even offered to be DJs for the evening. "Whatever will help make Sean's night extra special we will try and make happen," she said.

                This is legendary. The dancing man’s story proves , internet troll has no place in web. Being nasty and mean towards others will get you nowhere.

Thanks to Cassa, she has proved the power of numbers.This is the new step to keep anti-bullying society alive. Keep up good works Cassa.
