Being stuck at the airport is rarely fun, especially when it's late at night and there are few people around to share your pain.

Passenger Mahshid Mazooji found herself in exactly that position during a recent layover in Charlotte, North Carolina. Rather than "sit in anger all night long," Mazooji decided to turn her impromptu airport stay into a dance party.

"I did what makes me happiest...DANCE!!!!," she wrote on a YouTube post showing her dancing to Lionel Richie's hit "All Night Long."

Along the way, she managed to engage a number of late night employees and a few-also, presumably stranded-passengers in her quest.

It looks like Mazooji was flying American Airlines when her flight was interrupted.

Our hats are off to the American Airlines and Charlotte Douglas International Airport employees for their great dance moves and for helping one passenger re-find the joy in airport travel.

The video, posted on Saturday, has already received more than 15,000 views.
