‘Dancing Matt’ reveals his secrets

I remember the first time I saw Matt Harding’s Dancing video; I happened to be in Asia at the time and, while I enjoyed the video (and subsequent updates), I couldn’t help thinking, damn, why didn’t I think of that?

Now that Matt has circled the globe two more times with Stride Gum inexplicably picking up the tab he’s undeniably the envy of many a vagabonder — nothing beats traveling for free.

If you’ve ever wanted to know a bit more about Matt and how he manages to convince hordes of people around the world to join him in his goofy dance, check out the video below of Matt talking Gnomedex 8.0 last month (Gnomedex is a sort of nerdfest/conference where people discuss “web 2.0” and other misnomers)

It’s a nice glimpse behind the dancing phenomena and as an added bonus you get to see Matt convince the conference attendees to join him in an impromptu dance.

And seriously, why didn’t I think of that?
