Dancing, it’s a sober person’s nightmare. But as YouTuber Neiland proved, it doesn’t have to be. All you need is hunger, 365 days, and an empty room with slick wooden floorboards and an uninterested cat, and you too could be crazy-leggin’ it in snowfields like some sorta reincarnated Usher. He’s not dead? Nevermind.

“Since I started to listen Michael Jackson’s music, I started to dream about dancing,” wrote Neiland in his YouTube post. “Year ago, my heart told me to start practicing. This video is my dance journey with 365 days. I hope this video inspires you to do things that you really want to do. The things that makes you feel good and happy while doing it. You can be or do anything that you want. Forget the word ‘but’ and ‘can’t’.”

That’s useful advice. Well, unless it’s to say “But I can’t wear a fedora.” That’s a good thing to ‘but’ and ‘can’t’ about.
