'Keep Dancing Orlando' Is The Beautiful Tribute City Needs Right Now

The viral video will make you smile and cry.

Dance is helping Orlando heal.

A video  that honors and celebrates the lives the 49 victims killed during the mass shooting  at Pulse nightclub has gone viral.

The group Keep Dancing Orlando posted a video featuring people busting moves all over city — from Disney World to the beloved, local sandwich joint Beefy King — on Facebook on Wednesday, and it has already garnered more than 36,000 shares and 770,000 views.

The video — which features people dancing to Whitney Houston’s upbeat anthem “I Wanna Dance With Somebody” — encourages viewers to donate to the OneOrlando Fund , and make their own videos of themselves dancing. Once their sweet moves have been recorded, they are then asked to upload the video to social media with the tag #KeepDancingOrlando.

Some people have already uploaded their videos, like local Orlando  news station WESH 2 employees and the Orlando Psycho City Derby Girls :

“Forty-nine beautiful souls were taken at Pulse, but their spirit dances on in all of us,” reads the campaign’s site , adding: “We will recover. We will grow stronger. We will keep dancing.”
