When I first bookmarked Ed People, it was when my Instagram embeds were still working. That’s over, so I nearly scrapped this one. Happily, I spotted a link to his YouTube channel, so we can enjoy them together! This is the darling Ed People, a Belgian dancer who travels the world asking people to share their favorite dance steps. An article in the Indian Express said he is familiar with so many Indian dances, he should be given an honorary Indian citizenship, and the same can be said of quite a few cultures’ signature moves.

People teaches us that dance is a universal language that easily bridges gaps of culture, language, generation, and geography that could easily come between strangers. His Teach Me Your Favorite Dance Move series brings delight to the participants, the onlookers, and his audience as well. What a simple-yet-powerful way to spread joy! And he doesn’t just limit himself to featuring young, fit people, either. His inclusion of the elderly and unhoused is significant in its kindness. What a lovely guy!

You can follow along with Ed People’s fun on his YouTube Channel, on Instagram, and on Facebook.
