#DancingMan
It started with bullies laughing at him for dancing.
But he got the last laugh — and the last dance.
Sean O'Brien was ridiculed online a few months ago when someone snapped a picture of him boogying in a nightclub and mocked the overweight man for dancing.
But celebrities and regular folks alike soon jumped to O'Brien's defense, and using the hashtag #dancingman, they organized to find him and fund a massive dance party — with a GoFundMe crowd funding campaign raised more than $40,000 — for him.
That party went down Saturday night.
The Avalon, an historic Hollywood nightclub, hosted the bash, and electronica artist Moby DJ'd.
Among the attendees were Cassandra Fairbanks, the woman who kicked off the search for "Dancing Man"...
