Dancing is possibly one of the oldest and purest forms of human expression. It transcends language, culture, and age — and is truly universal. From a giggling 2-year-old bouncing to the beat of the jive, to a group of joyful seniors grooving to a Charlie Brown medley at a retirement home, dance connects us all. It brings joy, movement, and unity in a way few other art forms can.
Matt Bray, a young man full of life and positivity, decided to celebrate that spirit through an epic project that took him across the United States and Canada. With a camera, a lot of determination, and a heart full of enthusiasm, he hit the road on a 10,000-mile journey with one goal: to make people dance. What resulted was a heartwarming and uplifting video called “100 People of Dance,” posted on his YouTube channel, ProjectOneLife.
The project took two months to complete, with Matt spending a month and a half living on the road. Along the way, he connected with 100 people from all walks of life — strangers who were more than happy to learn his choreographed dance routine set to the catchy song “Gone” by JR JR. The energy and positivity captured in the video are contagious. Watching complete strangers dance with joy and abandon is not just entertaining — it’s inspiring.

Having some video editing experience myself, I can only imagine the amount of work that went into syncing 100 clips perfectly to the beat. It’s a technical feat and an artistic one. The final product is a beautifully edited, feel-good celebration of community, movement, and spontaneous fun. Matt not only created a memorable video, but also brightened the days of everyone he met — and now, everyone who watches.
Please share this epic video entitled ‘100 People of Dance’ with your friends and family.
