WATCH: Trying to find joy in your life? Gurdeep has some advice

Famous around the world for his viral dancing videos — and his unwavering positivity — Gurdeep Pandher of the Yukon was a recent guest on our Inside the Village podcast

Many Canadians — and people around the world — will recognize Gurdeep Pandher. A resident of the Yukon, he became a viral sensation during the COVID-19 pandemic for posting videos of himself Bhangra dancing.

Now a social-media star (more than 120,000 followers on Facebook and 35,000 on TikTok), Pandher spent the summer driving a van across parts of Canada to spread his message of joy, love and positivity.

During a stop in Sault Ste. Marie, Pandher even dropped by Village Media headquarters for a chat — and of course, some dancing.

If you like his YouTube videos, you'll love this interview with our Inside the Village podcast. You can watch the full conversation HERE.
