Video of man throwing heroic dance moves in Download Festival mud goes viral

A video of a man busting some seriously impressive dance moves in the mud at Download Festival has gone viral.   

Choosing the biggest and gloopiest swamp of mud as his amphitheatre, like some kind of extravagant bird of prey mating ritual, the man proceeds to throw out a mind-boggling array of dance moves in front of his female friend.

With the sounds of Nightwish echoing from The Lemmy Stage on Sunday afternoon, The Angel of the Mud’s moves include heavenward salutations, impossibly elastic kicks, cheeky knee-knocks, Vogue handthrows, a smorgasbord of ballet postures and some frankly dangerous sweeps of the gloopy stuff.  

Since being uploaded yesterday the video has already been viewed more than 200,000 times on YouTube and Facebook.
