Guy Dancing on the hill at Sasquatch Full Version! Santigold Unstoppable

This video is about a guy dancing on the number Unstoppable by Santigold at Sasquatch Festival in Washington 2009. I chose this video for a number of reasons. First of all the way the guy is dancing without any shame. The guy who is dancing is half naked, maybe intoxicated and all by himself. Second, the commentary of the people who shot the video. Initially the comments are negative towards the dancing guy, for example the way he dances. But gradually and also because of the changes of the population around him the comments changes to a positive and admiring tone. Last, the reaction of the crowd on the guy who is dancing. The crowd barley interacts with him. You see some people approaching him, trying to make contact, but I think this is about to make fun of him. Some people try to dance with him in the beginning, but for several reasons they discontinue doing so. But at a certain moment a fixed number of people join and dances with him. These people do so for a while and trigger other people to do so too. For the first time you see the dancing guy asking for more people to dance with him and at the end of the video hundreds of people are dancing with him.
