The Evolution of Dance — Bet You Laugh!

ME Liz Strauss wrote this at 8:40 pm

Welcome to Saturday Night at the Movie on a Friday Night

I’d be so surprised if this doesn’t make you laugh!

Common experience is a social thing.


Social media takes many forms. When it’s done well it reminds us of our humanity. This one combines music and memories with laughter — combined in right measure you get viral.

We want to share great experiences.

Did you see yourself and people you know in this video?
