#25: make a video of someone dancing

I am, indeed, dancing to Beyonce. I know many, or some anyway, would be appalled. I tried to find something Indie cool, but this is the song that moved me to dance today, and so there it is. I can't quite believe I'm posting this. I'm not a very good dancer, but I truly LOVE to dance...and that's what this whole LTLYM thing is about? Or partly about? creating for the sake of creating, exploring for the sake of adventure, dancing for the sake of moving...something like that.
