A video of a pair of dancing American priests studying in Rome has gone viral. Rev Rider warmed up the crowd with a lively tap-dance routine, and was pushed aside by Rev Gibson's fast-footed Irish dance. Then they were dancing together to impress the crowd. At the back of the room, journalist Joan Lewis recorded the event and later posted it on YouTube, where it has had more than 600,000 hits. The US priests were dancing at a seminary fundraiser The Rev David Rider, 29, of New York, and the Rev John Gibson, 28, of Milwaukee, became famous when they were filmed in April during this fundraiser at the Pontifical North American College, a seminary up the hill from the Vatican. To those who call them disrespectful they answered, “We would just refer them to the Bible,” Rider said, “where the Lord tells us to live with joy.”
