Amateur footage from the 2009 Sasquatch music festival in which one person starts dancing alone and a crowd gradually joins in, turning it into a dance party.
Used as the classic example of a lone first follower turning one person's action into a movement, in threads about bystanders and group behavior.

I think the most amazing/hilarious example I've seen of one person starting something by making the first move is this video: ▶ this video :)
I can confirm this. It’s also nice to see a new paper on this. I’ve been using this knowledge professionally for the last 24 years as a front of house engineer. Anecdotal story time: You’ve may have seen this video, or some variation of or maybe even the TED talk inspired by it… ▶ this video …what few people know and most don’t because I have not shared this publicly (in media at least) is that I was mixing this show. We we’re on in the middle of the day and a few bands had been on before us. By this point in my career I had already been to the gorge several times and the hill has always been a problem. On this particular day during the already frantic pace of a festival changeover with no sound check, the system tech is talking up the new delay stacks they beefed up for this year. This was great news and were geeking out and he’s showing me where they’re at on the console which is of course buried under some convoluted series of navigation and button presses to get to, given the atrocious UI design of digital electronics. Now generally given these circumstances, convention holds that the delays are set to some arbitrary value and the guest engineer generally need not concern themselves as the system techs will be monitoring them. To my horror were getting to the dancy part of our short set and I’m doing my due diligence and looking back at the hill and wondering whats up, why isn’t anyone dancing!?! The delays were not turned up! None of the previous engineers that day had though
Seems staged to me. It seems unnatural how those 4 people started dancing at exactly the same time at the first wave. Ps. This is similar to an event where a guy started a dance party ▶ this video
