I'm always looking for ways to feel happier and to cheer up. A couple of months ago I came across this video, and I've watched it so many times, and I just love it!
Shirley Ellis : The Nitty Gritty 1963 HD
The main guy in the front is the one that I can't stop watching. His movements are so wild and fun. His partner is good, too, and sometimes I watch her, but he (Bobby Banas or Robert Banas) just mesmerizes me.

On Wikipedia it said:
Banas said he began to dance at age five. “I would immediately run and stand in a doorway pretending it was a frame for a small stage. I then would jive, moving my body to and fro, trying to keep up with the beat of the music, knowing that when the music would crescendo I’d leap in the air defying gravity, only to land in a heap. I’d pick myself up and start it all over again. I just couldn’t sit still when I’d hear those big bands: Tommy Dorsey, Ray Anthony, Count Basie, Les Brown and Stan Kenton.”[1]
Then, some time after I kept watching this older video (from the Judy Garland show), I came across this newer one, and it's a really good one, too.
RTSF 2016 - The Nitty Gritty - Chanzie & Stephen
In that video, she's the one that I can't stop watching, though both are great dancers.
Just check out either of the two YouTube links if you need to be in a better mood. That is, if you like the song, which I do. Enjoy!
