You may remember the story of the dancing man who was fat shamed by a bunch of people at a night club simply for busting a move and having a bit of a dance.
That man's name was Sean O'Brien, and after his story surfaced online, a bunch of people got together and decided that they were going to host a dance party for him so that he could show off his skills without any judgement.
That party finally took place this past weekend in Los Angeles, where Sean was joined by thousands of people and a few celebs who provided the tunes, such as Andrew W.K., Moby and Meghan Trainor, and there was, as you might have guessed, plenty of dancing. He started his evening by meeting up with Cassandra Fairbanks and a few of the others who had organised the event in his honour.
