Where the H is MATT????
BY DISH CONTRIBUTOR LAUREN RAMSEY:
This week an internet virus came to Houston.. in front of the Waterwall! Houstonians got a little dance lesson from Matt Harding, better known as “Where in the Hell is Matt?” Matt has spent the past 5 years dancing badly across the globe and as of late, he’s started asking locals to dance along side him. He is currently sponsored by Stride Gum but this tour particular that brought him to Houston was an idea he is pursuing and paying for by himself. He funded this monster of an idea by selling books and t-shirts which were apparently because he only had kids sizes and a couple mediums left!
My friend Karn and I were lucky enough to be one of the first to spot him! Once the crowd started to gather the first thing he did was his signature move... hands up, swinging side-to-side while jumping up and down one leg at a time of course. What a great way to start the evening! He walked us through the project, gathered us up in front of the Waterwall and started teaching us some simple, fun and notoriously bad dance moves. The taller folks were asked to stand in the back, which meant by the end of the 45 minute session, the backside of our clothes were soaked from shoulder to heel! We did the robot, rolled our shoulders and stepped side to side, pumped our fists in the air, and did the classic Matt dance with Matt, himself. It's easy to see why strangers come together to support him: Matt was very relaxed, personable and fun spirited. After the shoot was complete, there was a cooler full of water waiting for us to enjoy. We gathered around him, took pics and chatted while he talked about the cities he has visited and the upcoming spots he is heading to next. The video will be comprised of a series of impromptu dances choreographed by Matt and shout outs from crowds of dancers all across America and the World! To find out where Matt will be next, sign up on his blog or follow him on Twitter. And get your dancing shoes ready!
