We stan a dope queen and this lady on the corner of the street dancing all by herself with her black lives matter sign in Austin Texas made us so happy.
Ok, so backstory!
Instagram user Traci Lynn @treybaybay shared that she posted a video of a dancing queen that would be on the corner of the road daily trying to keep the movement going and the message alive.
The video was first shared on TikTok and went viral. She then reposted the video to Instagram and it has since been reposted everywhere!
This is what she wrote:
That one time I posted a vid of a dancing queen who just made my day a little better otw home & went viral on Tiktok! Went on a mission to find her & she ended up being a down to earth chick who is just trying to keep the message alive!
There are actual studies that prove the human brain & muscles respond to watching other ppl dance bc we are naturally empathetic beings.
So if watching someone dance, just having a good time can make you smile, then even better when it’s associated with a bigger message. Her dedication, especially in this Texas heat inspired me & I hope it inspires you too ?????✨✨✨✨ #blm
This is the video:
Traci is right about the research, according to studies watching dance does evoke an emotional response in people.
It’s similar to what music does, helps us to feel happy, relaxed and some dance movements evoke more emotion than others. This is why this video is so amazing because it’s a strong message wrapped into something that makes us all very happy.
Turns out Traci and her friends have joined her dancing a couple of times and from the comments on her video, they are organizing for more people to join the movement.
Some of the comments offer to bring water, support her through Venmo or Cash app! Folks are ready to support!
alanna_feliz – NO JUSTICE NO PEACE KEEP DANCING QUEEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!? ? I cant dance so I’ll bring you shady water breaks anytime!!! ????
graytouchton – Can you get us a contact for her? Venmo?
bquinlan.artist – ??? That’s so awesome I’ve seen that lady out there so many times! Glad to see y’all silly asses go out there and join her!!
To be completely upfront, we have no idea who this lady is, hoping that Traci will post her IG handle so we can really turn up!
When I find her IG handle, I will update this post! But for now, we stan a dope queen fr fr!
