Luckily, the prancing employee popped back out and Durham was able to record the second part of his performance.

\"All of a sudden he just starts dancing,\" she said as she captured the man in the bright yellow vest in front of gate C11. \"He is magic and we need this kind of joy in our lives.\"

\"Crew chief Isaiah Foster [is] proving that when you love what you do, you can dance on the fly,\" a spokeswoman for American Airlines told ABC News.

Durham, a music producer based in Nashville, said that she travels \"all the time\" for her job and knew she had to share this moment on social media.

\"Part of my job I do social media, so I was just looking and thought, 'Oh man I have to record this,'\" she said.

Her inclination was right because the video of Foster that she posted on Twitter has been viewed over 10,000 times and counting.
