“The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya” is arguably the most popular anime series in 2006/2007. The Haruhi-dance at the end of each episodes has become a phenomenon itself; lots of people are imitating it and uploaded their videos online.
Maggie’s version happens to be one of the more unique Haruhi dance videos imo. Brava!
