The 1984 blockbuster hit “Footloose” is a cult favorite and for good reason. Not only is the storyline and acting so engaging, but the music and dancing are also addicting. It is no wonder that people still adore this movie years and years later.
This 2011 video catches the excitement the song can bring to someone dancing, even in the strangest of places.
The infectious theme song can make anyone want to put on their dance shoes and get out there on the dance floor.
For this reason, it is not a surprise that “Footloose” was the song of choice for YouTuber Preston Leatherman when he wanted to film a performance of him dancing in public to put on his channel.
Preston chose Target as his dance floor. With his earbuds tight enough that only he could hear the song, Preston danced and flailed around the retail store as if he were the only one there.
While some shoppers stopped to watch the crazy dancing man, others seemed to be completely oblivious to the situation.
The most engaged shoppers even stop to dance along with Preston, despite the fact that they could not hear the music.
No matter who sees him, they all leave with a smile on their face. How can you not smile when you see somebody dancing with such joy for life?
The viral video has already been watched over 2.1 million times, making Preston’s dance performance a clear hit. Now is your chance to also join in on the fun. After you have watched this happy video, be sure to spread the joy to everyone that you know.
