Here’s something to ask yourself: What do I jump at the chance to do in my free time?
It’s important to know what your hobbies are—those little things that make life more enjoyable outside of work. Sitting at your desk all day isn’t a hobby. So, what do you do just for the fun of it, to relax and shake off the stress?

For me, it’s dancing.

No, I’m not a professional. But I love turning on my favorite song and just moving to the rhythm. I’ve danced in school talent shows and at friends’ weddings in planned routines, but I’m still far from being an expert. And that’s okay—because I dance for the joy of it.

Dancing is something truly special. There are so many different styles—ballroom, breakdancing, even the good old chicken dance. Each one is fun to watch and even more fun to try. You can find amazing dance videos online, from high-speed Forró performances to hilarious clips of toddlers doing their best K-pop moves. No matter your taste, there’s something out there that’ll make you smile.

But here’s the thing—not everyone is born to dance. Some of us (myself included) are still figuring it out. Still, that doesn’t stop people from trying, and sometimes, what unfolds is better than perfect technique—it’s pure entertainment.

Take Gary and Charlotte Chaney, for example. Watching them dance together is an absolute treat. They’ve won multiple dance competitions across the country, including the U.S. Open Championship in Anaheim, California. Their skill and chemistry light up the floor every time they perform.

In 2010, Gary and Charlotte were giving a dance demonstration at the Chicago Windy City Jitterbug Club. They were mid-routine, dancing to Rhonda McDaniel’s version of “Me and Bobby McGee,” when something completely unexpected happened.

Just as everything was going smoothly, a woman in a striped outfit ran out from the audience and jumped right into the performance! Most dancers would be thrown off completely by something like this—imagine someone barging in during your carefully rehearsed routine! But Gary and Charlotte handled it with grace and humor.

The woman, it turns out, is Debbie Wheelis. Fun fact: she bears a striking resemblance to Rhonda McDaniel, though they’re not actually related. And while she may not have been part of the original plan, her surprise appearance turned an already great performance into something hilarious and unforgettable.
