Who still remembers Dancing Matt from 2006? Matt Harding is the well-known American video game-designer whose round-the-world dance videos went viral two years ago, leading to instant fame, sponsorship and more silly jigs in front of prominent world landmarks. And imagine, it all started with a running (does that explain his dance style?) gag for a friend’s video camera in Vietnam…

Well, P was introduced to a new TV ad for Visa credit cards by a friend yesterday, and guess what? Matt’s now on the small screen with new sponsorship (Matt’s previous travels are/were sponsored by Stride Gum)! P was impressed that the new ad even mentions Singapore! Matt has chosen not to disclose his current financial arrangement with Visa.

When she checked out Matt’s current webpage, she found his latest 2008 dance video which is reproduced below for your pleasure (short Singapore segment by the Merlion). At least, Matt has got locals to join him in his dancing efforts, the more the merrier eh? Matt is now apparently trying to raise funds for disadvantaged children in Rwanda. At least, one web celeb is trying to turn his fame to something useful!
