Au Revoir!
Hello. I am saddened to announce that I have decided to stop making posts to my website. This does not mean that I will stop dancing and entertaining; it just means that I will stop using my current web format. I am still open to performing in situations where showing up and dancing are my main responsibilities. However, my current responsibilities of setting up recordings, editing videos, making posts, and replying to fans have left me drained in recent months. Having to work a full time job was a major contributor to my drainage. Perhaps, if someone would take care of all the setup and administration, or provide me the funding so I would not need to work, I would keep my site going.
Since I launched my site in May, 2005, I have gotten an enormous amount of feedback from my visitors. I have read every message sent to me, and I have thoroughly appreciated all the kind words and support. It feels good to know that I was able to make days better for so many people. Without support from fans, I would not have kept my site going for so long.
So, that is it. I welcome suggestions and offers for new ways that I can share my passion for dancing with the world. But, for now, I say "goodbye".

You will be missed and if I ever win the lottery I'll personally fund you:)...thanks for all the laughs and making us Newfies proud!
Hello DD,
Sad to hear the news.
I hope you keep dancing.
Please keep us updated on any other projects you may work on.
Sad to hear you're going but you have been a joy to watch over the last year and you'll be missed. I put up a good bye article for you on my blog. I hope to catch you on the web again soon. Thanks for the good times DD.
Oh frick!! Anoint your head with ashes and rend your garments, bang the drum slowly and wail, Toto! Daily dancer has died and gone away. Now what am i going to do?
I am but one of the thousands of lurking automatons who have ocasionally visited your website catching up with your dances upon each visit . No more of that now. Well, thank you! Thank you for the joy and infectious exuberance with which you approached each dance. Its' contagion blessed my presence with joy. So,thank you for your generosity in persevering for over a year.
Adieu, Zinn.
P.S. Now where's a good dirge when you need one? I feel like dancing to a good dixieland funeral march in your honour
I was sad to hear that my bro was retiring (exspecially since i said he wouldn't). But i know he is busy. We will all miss your dancing and we love you wether your dd or uncle blinko.
Well, darn. We'll miss you, but boy do I understand burn-out. I hope after a nice rest you find that you'd like to share your booty-shaking with the world again. :-)
DD, keep on dancin' like no one is watchin'!!! Your passion for cutting a rug will be missed but not forgotten - keep shakin' the money maker.
DD, will miss you like crazy! I've been an avid fan and you have brought me much joy. Wishing you and the wife to be much happiness always. Dance on!
:-( sniff, sniff
hey dd,
sad to see you go....good bye for now and good luck....the world could use a few more good souls like yours.

Say it ain't so!
There is no doubt that I will miss my weekly dose of the Daily Dancer. I have watched and commented since almost the beginning and have been entertained and edified. Thanks DD for bringing some life to my otherwise dull and drab daily routine.
I will forever be hopeful that one day when I click this link again, I will find a new video from you (or your sister, or a special guest). For now and the recent future, I will satisfy my need by visiting your archives on a weekly basis.
*You are going to leave the site up, right!?
=/
we WILL miss you daily dancer! You've been great!
I hope you'll be back.!
NOBODY LIKES A QUITTER
Wow!! I would never have thought. Put chapters in life, like in books can only be so long , before you have to end it adn start to write a new one.
Good Luck. i guess the next chapter will be all about babies!!!!
This sucks.
OMG!!
YOU CANT LEAVE ME!! D:
I'm so sorry to see you go DD, you have not only given me a smile each time I watched your latest dance - you have inspired me to think less of what other people think of me and just enjoy my life. Also thankyou again for the dance for my mum, that meant a whole lot!
Missing you already xx
Wait a minute, not even a swan song? That's it? Just goodbye? Your not going to do one last dance? What is that all aboot(canadian)? How dare you?
There are so many songs you could have gone out with for example-- SAVE THE LAST DANCE FOR ME, YOU MAKE ME FEEL LIKE DANCING, THE DANCE, MARY JANES LAST DANCE.
You could have done a slow dance with your girlfriend, or maybe you and your girlfriends mom and your sister could have done the HOKEY POKEY, but no ,all we get is AU REVOIR? What kind of crap is this? YOU HAVE GOT TO DO ONE MORE DUDE!!!!!
Don't go out on a low note ,go out with a bang, Our office has been watching your dances from the begining, and they have always been great in their own weird way, but this a total let down. We demand one more dance. ENCORE!!! ENCORE!!!!!
Bummer! Take care~
NOOOOOO!!!!!!!! What am I going to do without you!?!?!? Just so you know, I posted a bulletin on my Myspace in memorium of dailydancer.com. We will miss you!
DD
I have an idea - why not just dance on weekends, you get those off don't ya? you could be "the weekend dancer" 1 dance a week is all we need. It'll keep you in shape and your passion alive. Please DD don't leave just cut back.
Now the DD has shut down,
No more dances from this clown.
So the world of cyberspace,
Now becomes a duller place.
So much good was done by you,
And you know we'll miss you too.
But I say this now so stern
That I hope you will return.
One day, you will dance again,
When you get a break from strain.
Goodbye, DD
I thought Au revoir didn't actually mean goodbye, but bye for now see you again, I hope so.
Good luck to you and yours and your hot sis.by the way when she danced it prompted 72 comments, if she ever fancies a trip down to new zealand she is always welcome to stay at my house. good luck and well done!
Too bad I discovered your site only today...to learn that you are stopping. But, I must say that looking at your viedos makes me feel good about myself (there really are people worst than me :p lol) Anyways...take it easy and if ever you get rich and famous, don't forget about all these people who looove you so much :D
Great job!
This has got the be one of the saddest days of my life. You have made my day for sooo long. If I win the lotto friday night, I will pay you to keep the site up and running so that you can quit your job. Stay sain! Rachael from the ROCK!
Sad that you are not posting dances anymore. Hope you change your mind.
Nooooooooooooooooo! Sorry to see you go DD. Thanks for the fun, you'll be missed.
:::throwing self to the ground in a tantrum-like manner:::
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! ::sniff, sniff::
They always leave. Hrmph.
I've heard of the Daily Dancer and seen your sight today for the first time. Watching you sure put a smile to my face. Great freedom through Dance. Self Care is so important. You've got my support. You surly will be remembered and what you've offered to so many will always be greatly appreciated:) Take Care.
DD, dear DD, hero of daring dances, we will go on & you will go on, but we will miss your dances sooooooooo much. You have inspired us, touched our hearts, made us think about the world in a new & wondrous way. DD I wish you the very best. And who knows, maybe after you take a break you will want to return to this exquisite effort you made on all of our behalves (or is it behalfs?) My friends, my family & I will always remember the thrill of watching those dances & the glimpse you gave us into your most special being. Good luck with work, with the wedding & may the future be as rich a place for you as the past was for us due to your generous contribution of energy, wit & spirit. DD, you are the best & truly a hero.
With much love,
Your soon to be mother-in-law
Well DD..until next time..I'm sure you will be back..why not post once a week..to quit for good though..thats harsh..and with no notice at all..SNIF SNIF...
Love ya bud..take care & thanks for all the laughs!
Hi, all. I appreciate the kind send off.
I know it was a bit harsh to end it all without warning. So, maybe I will put together one final dance.
I'd love to continue posting dances online, but I cannot add more responsibility to my life right now, as small as it might seem. Hopefully, things will improve for me in the future.

You will be sadly missed.....

NNNOOOOOO!!!! I am heartbroken! I ran across your moves on you tube by accident. You were dancing to "My Humps"... My daughter & I loved it so much. That was back in Nov. 2005 and since then we check in to get a new dose of DD... We will miss you.

Thanks, co-worker, whomever you may be. I had to remove the company name from your comment:
"Complaints can be directed to [company_name] management! With a work environment in which a "sweat-shop" mentality is commonplace, they have sucked the life out of yet another lowly programmer! =(
DD - quit, move to San Francisco and work for Google! There your art would be appreciated!!"
You rock man!!! Thank you for all the smiles you have provided.
Louise
DD, quit work, move to Austin, and we'll hire you! Do you know PHP and Java? Come on down!
hope you re consider. its so much fun and a real delight to watch you doing what you love and having a good time. Dont worry something will work out, just dont give up so easily and think about what is really important to you. xx best wishes...you have a bright future.
We here at aardvark tattoos are sad to see you go. We used to enjoy seeing your new posts during our 4:20 safety meetings. Good luck on your new endeavors
GOODBYE!
I can't believe I've been missing all this. Just found you tonight WOW, you are quite the hottie. The way you danced with the toys in "Da Funk" is so creative. I can't decide if I wish I'd grown up next door to you or if you would spin me like you did that toy top!! Anyway, you are now in my dreams, you bad little boy. You got this girl goin!!
Awww damn and I was going to request another Metal song :)
Awww damn and I was going to request another Metal song :)
DD - I just heard the news!! Some of my friends shared the dreadful message. This can't REALLY be the end of such a great era, CAN IT?!?! You were the link I would click on with such excitement after my blah days very well knowing that you would pick me right up to where I needed to be...quit your day job!!
Hey Daily Dancer! Just wanted to wish you all the best--
you know, you still deserve that spot on the Ellen Degeneres show! I'll be waiting for the day...be sure to send me an email so I can say, "HEY! I know that guy!!"
; )
bah. I whomped you today, and you know it.

Hey DD, I was watching this TV show video on a random blog from the late 1960's and I was like, I know that style of dancing but couldn't put my finger on it. Then I remembered. Check out this video and see if one of your regular guests (and my favorite) doesn't perhaps have the same moves.
It's on youtube here:

Too funny
Sorry to see you go buddy, always enjoyed your movies.
:)
Hi ya DD,
I hadn't checked your site for 2 months only to find that you have stopped. That's too bad. I'm sure I was a fan for about 1 year. You brought me laughter with your William Hung dance. I had never seen the William Hung video and I actually thought that you were imitating him dance only to find out that you actually dance that way. Keep it up, alone or otherwise. It's a great way to stay in shape.
Peace out.
YOU ARE TOOOOO COOL!!!
Oh, man. I'm having a really hard & shitty week. Came here for a little lighthearted laugh, and now.....you're done! Noooooooooooooooo!
I HAVEN'T CHECKED THIS SITE IN A MONTH OR 2 AND MY HEART DROPPED .
I WAS ABOUT TO GET A DD TOTE BAG FOR MY SIS FOR X-MAS, BUT NOW YOU ARENT EVEN GONNA BE AROUND FOR SOME HOILDAY DANCING?
LIKE THE OTHERS , I'M SAD TO SEE YOU GO AND WILL EAGERLY AWAIT YOUR RETURN...
WISH YOU AND GF ALL THE LOVE, LUCK AND HAPPINESS IN THE WORLD!
YOUR #33 FAN
- JENNIFER
Jen... I'll still take the tote! I love you DD! I'll miss you and your uncanny ability to break it down hard. LOVES!!!!!
Here's yer hat, what's yer hurry? Thatnk God this embarrassment is finally over. It just shows you how little people have to dowith their time.
Your here arn't you?? We all LOVED DD...he changed my life. Wish I could have had the same free feeling inside. You must be lacking something in your life to be so ignorant!!!
Miss you DD...come back soon.
DD, your dance for my birthday with the hippo will live on forever... with "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" playing in the background. Do you think you could post a pic of a dance at the wedding for us? Hoping for the best and wanted to wish you the best of luck in the future.
Every once in a while, I check to see if maybe, just maybe you have changed your mind. Will we get a Christmas special?
After 2 months without my DD fix, I'm really feeling the loss. I miss you and hope you change your mind enough to post occasionally.

I'm too busy WAH, it costs too much WAH, get off your pasty white ass and dance,fancy boy.
