Do the dance

Heard of Matt Harding? He’s the guy who traveled to 42 countries in 14 months and took his video camera along. At each stop, he would dance a silly little jig – sometimes on his own, sometimes with locals. His dancing videos became an internet sensation and his latest version, “Dancing 2008” has been viewed 8.5 million times since he posted it in June.

On a whim, our corporate blogger, Nicki Dugan sent Matt an email asking him if he’d like to come to Yahoo! and dance a bit with the purple posse. He said yes and the video below is the result of him dancing around our Sunnyvale, CA campus with a variety of teams and groups. You can catch your very own Yahoo! Messenger team at the 2:19 mark:

For legal reasons, you’ll have to watch the video over on Yodel, our corporate blog.

Thanks to Matt for being a good sport while we pummeled him with yellow smiley balls. To find out more about his adventures, visit http://wherethehellismatt.com.
