First Public Appearance of the Dancing Grandma

Last summer, a very odd thing happened on my way to Ridgedale Shopping Center.  I needed to stop at Best Buy to purchase a CD with "It's Raining Men" on it. It was the middle of a work day.

A very large sales associate helped me find the version I wanted and played the tune out loud.  He subtly snapped his fingers and moved his hips to the rhythm; I followed suit.  We quickly were dancing full-out in the middle of Aisle 8!  This fellow was from Jamaica (I think), so he was a very good dancer.

A crowd gathered to observe this spontaneous burst of joy.  People walked by, trying to act like nothing was going on, but were compelled to peek at us from behind display shelves.  The department manager - not one to miss a great opportunity - video taped the incident.  Although I saw him do it, I had no idea what was going to happen next.
