RACHEL MARTIN, HOST:
We can all use a little encouragement, motivation and joy in our lives, right?
STEVE INSKEEP, HOST:
Rachel, how did you know? Anyway, that's where Donte Colley comes in.
(SOUNDBITE OF INSTAGRAM VIDEO)
MARTIN: Colley makes Instagram videos. It's just him, dancing in front of the camera by himself.
DONTE COLLEY: I start by throwing on a song and hitting record on my iPhone and kind of just improvising a little bit of a dance.
INSKEEP: With his perfectly timed twirls and twists, he edits in emojis that pop up on screen - stars and fireworks and hearts, confetti explosions.
(SOUNDBITE OF EXPLOSIONS)
COLLEY: I really have no idea what is going to happen. So it's, like, kind of like a fun journey for everything.
MARTIN: And there is giant text over all the images, feel-good phrases like, keep going. You matter. You complete this planet.
COLLEY: I just wanted to encourage my friends to really just push through through any kind of struggle that they are going through. And social media is a great platform to do that.
INSKEEP: Using social media to spread a positive message. And many people have responded.
MARTIN: This week, Colley took his show on the road, showing off his moves on "Good Morning America."

UNIDENTIFIED PERSON: Do it, Donte.
(SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "I WANNA DANCE WITH SOMEBODY")
WHITNEY HOUSTON: (Singing) Oh, I wanna dance with somebody.
COLLEY: I've been getting quite a bit of messages like, this made my day or, this kind of saved my day, which - I actually didn't expect that at all. But I'm super grateful for it.
(SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "I WANNA DANCE WITH SOMEBODY")
HOUSTON: (Singing) With somebody who loves me.
(CHEERING)
COLLEY: It definitely made me feel good that it was making other people feel good, which, at the end of the day, is just the objective, is - we all just need each other.
