Women are throwing this man a dance party after he was laughed at for dancing

ONE bloke was made to feel bad for being overweight and wanting to dance. Now the internet is making sure no one gets shamed for wanting to have fun.

THIS story will warm your heart.

The internet has taken a stand against against a nasty online user who shamed a man for dancing in public.

Last month, a user on the social site 4chan posted about his encounter with a man at a concert.

He wrote, “Spotted this specimen trying to dance the other week. He stopped when he saw us laughing,” accompanied by two photos of the concert goer.

The image was reposted on Reddit and image hosting site Imgur on Thursday with the caption, “I find this behavior f**king despicable. If you’re out there big man, f**k those kids. Keep dancing.”

Thousands of people shared the photo online, offering the support for the dancing man.

It wasn’t long before writer Cassandra Fairbanks launched an online campaign to find the man in the picture, so she could arrange “something special” for him.

Within hours, thousands of Twitter users joined the search. Ms Fairbanks wrote the man an open letter with an offer to throw him a major dance party.

The campaign went as far as London, where the dancing man was eventually discovered.

He created a Twitter account and confirmed his identity.

Even Pharrell Williams got in on the action, tweeting that he wants to join the party when it’s on. Looks like dancing man is going to have a good time!
