We love stories of human compassion and karma.
It all started last week when a degrading post appeared on message board 4chan, boasting about embarrassing an overweight man for dancing and enjoying himself – with accompanying photos…
The bullying and laughing was so obvious that the man became self concious and stopped dancing, looking obviously upset.
Enter a number of friendly and fun women who have taken it upon themselves to brighten this man’s day.
Anyone know this man or who posted this? There’s a huge group of ladies in LA who would like to do something special pic.twitter.com/DGbu3AXOrB

It began with a twitter campaign to track down the man and set up a dance party for him and a number of women (quoted as being in the thousands), where he can dance to his heart’s content.
But the overwhelming reaction from around the world has been incredible.
Not only have they tracked down the man – later identified as Sean – but he has accepted their invitation – even if it means flying around the world.

It continues to get better… now Pharrell Williams, Moby and Andrew W.K. have put their hands up to perform at the event! While a stadium in the US have offered their services for a night.
Hey @CassandraRules keep me posted about your dance party! @Dancingmanfound, never be ashamed of yourself. You are both truly #OTHER🙏

Furthermore, in just one day a GoFundMe account for the event has raised over $32,000 for the event!
We can’t wait to see how it all evolves!
But can we just say… where is our invite!?
