The Viral Dancing Security Guard Who Stole the Show at a Houston Astros Game
During the 2017 Houston Astros season, fans witnessed a moment that would go down in baseball entertainment history.
It all began when Orbit, the team’s beloved alien mascot, started dancing along to Maroon 5’s “Moves Like Jagger.”
But what no one expected was that a seemingly stone-faced security guard nearby was about to become the real star of the show.
As Orbit playfully approached, the guard—who had remained motionless like a Buckingham Palace sentinel—suddenly burst into a lively, perfectly timed dance routine.
The crowd erupted in laughter and applause as the security guard, later identified as Willis Harris, showcased a blend of energetic footwork and classic party moves, culminating in an unforgettable full-body “worm” across the stadium floor.
The impromptu performance lit up the Jumbotron and immediately went viral online.
Since its upload, the video has racked up over 17 million views on YouTube, inspiring other dancing security guards to pop up in stadiums across the country.
Willis Harris, now affectionately known by fans as “The Dancing Security Guard,” became a symbol of unexpected joy during that memorable season—proving that even the most ordinary moments can become extraordinary with the right rhythm.
