Dancing Guy Leads The Human Herd: Video

DANCING Guy will now show you how the human mind works. It’s not a crowd. It’s a herd. Everyone wants to be in the middle, at the centre of things, away from the prying and judging eye, like the dad dancing at the wedding. Have you ever led a chant at the football? That first time takes nerve…

COME see the amazing Bus Jumpers of Maidstone Chequers Centre. Gasp as the youngsters leap from a building on to a moving bus. Coo as the yongsters jump from the bus and land safely on the ground.
