This Kid In Nova Scotia Dancing Like MJ Is Living His Best Life
“When you see something in #Dartmouth and you’re not sure it’s actually happening.”
Mitch Owen and a friend were driving to the store in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, when they saw something odd. "All of a sudden I heard my friend laughing and I looked over and we saw him," Owen told BuzzFeed Canada.
There, on the side of a busy thoroughfare, Owen and his friend watched for a minute as a young man danced his heart out to a Michael Jackson soundtrack only he could hear.
The two headed to the store, and on the way back they thought they'd check in on the mysterious dancer.
"Sure enough, he was still there going strong. We gave him a beep and he waved. He truly did look like he was having the time of his life."

Owen took a quick video for Instagram and captioned it: "When you see something in #Dartmouth and you're not sure it's actually happening."
Owen said he muted the sound in the video because it was just of him and his friend laughing.
The 27-year-old, who works in the Halifax tourism industry, said this was the first time he'd spotted the dancer doing his thing on Portland Street, but friends of his had seen him there before.
"But I guess I was the lucky guy who got to get it on video!" Owen said. "Everyone who sees it seems to enjoy it. I think there is a draw seeing somebody having the time of their life with no inhibition at all!"
You do you, Dartmouth Michael Jackson.
