Check out this fun video of peacock spider dancing to Y.M.C.A. by Village People!
It's a remix of a video of the courtship ritual of the male Maratus speciosus or Coastal peacock spider, which are native to the coastal dunes in Perth, Western Autralia.
To create the Y.M.C.A. version, Dario Trovato edited scenes from Jurgen Otto's original video and set the spider's movement to the beat of the song. Even though the video shows just a few examples of the spider's mating ritual, it showcases how beautifully the spider dances.
