Ugh, the mid-afternoon blues. You’re in the office typing away, your coworkers are glumly staring at their computer screens, and it’s so quiet you can barely stand it.
The next time you find yourself watching the clock or staring longingly out the window for something exciting to happen, think back to what a Toronto tile setter did to help lighten the mood. He was at a job site early last year and suddenly realized the rest of the crew had been especially quiet all day.
So what did he do?

Naturally, he embraced his inner diva!
When Ariana Grande’s 2016 hit song, “Into You,”came on, he broke out into an epic dance number. It wasn’t just idle shuffling, either… this construction worker knows how to shake his hips!

Apparently, Tony Restivo, the man busting a move, grew up watching dancing greats like Michael Jackson, John Travolta, and Elvis Presley – and it shows in his hip thrusts and high kicks.

Tony says, that for the first 15 to 20 seconds, he didn’t know he was being filmed, which makes this spectacle even more amazing! “Then from the corner of my eyes, I saw Anthony taping me,” Tony said.
“The guys were really quiet that day, and not in good spirits and I just started cranking my music and dancing like I always do. It’s actually a normal thing, I dance all the time at work, to make the guys laugh and have a good time because our job is hard enough as it is.”
Of course, Tony couldn’t have predicted that his wife would get ahold of the video and post it on Facebook… there it quickly went viral. Even Ariana Grande got wind of it!

So, the next time you find yourself in the middle of the Monday (or Tuesday through Friday) blues, take a cue from Tony and bust out your dancing shoes for some lighthearted entertainment! You’ll feel good doing it and your coworkers will surely appreciate it!
One commenter agreed, saying, “And that my friends is how to have fun at work.”
