After a photo posted online went viral, social media users are rallying together to stand up against bullying and give one man the best dance party of his life. It all started when cyberbullies posted a photo of a man dancing with the caption, “Spotted this specimen trying to dance the other week. He stopped when he saw us laughing.”

It didn’t sit well with Twitter user, Cassandra Fairbanks, who used her platform to post a tweet in hopes to find the man in the picture. The word spread quickly on social media with the hashtags #finddancingman and #dancingman
Sean, aka, #dancingman, eventually was located and he thanked followers through his new Twitter account, @dancingmanfound.
A flood of tweets followed from high profile celebrities and ultimately led to the creation of the ‘Dance Party of a Lifetime’ party. Some tweets included:
Fairbanks group, Coconut Oil Friendship Club, started a fundraising page for a dance party. Over $30,000 in funds has been raised to go towards Dancing Man’s ‘Dance Party of a Lifetime’, which will benefit anti-bullying. And through the power of social media, it looks like ‘Dancing Man’ is going to have quite the victory dance.
