The video is taken from a “dance cam” at the Palace in Auburn Hills during the Detroit Pistons-New York Knicks game from November 19th. At first glance, the footage may be a slow start (the incredible dancing kid starts at 0:26), but reviewing the video closely, you can see a series of small moments that perfectly exemplify the simple, genuine thrill of appearing on the big screen at a sporting event for a few seconds. There’s the blonde woman with extreme dance confidence, sashaying at 0:05, eventually pulling an equally as game male companion into the frame; there are the three young girls and their chaperone at 0:11, the young girls looking as giddy as (almost) any kid would be to look up and see themselves on the big screen, all waves and “I-can’t-believe-it” smiles; at 0:17 there’s a woman seated next to a dancing friend who leaps up as soon as she realizes she’s on camera and goes in for a few seconds before realizing she better check herself lest she wreck herself and this end up a meme on the Internet; the joyous father and his confused expression wearing newborn at 0:20. And then, of course, the coup de grce.

I defy you to have a bad Monday after watching this video. It may not be possible. View below:
