Cancer Survivor from Merrick Takes Ellen's Dance Dare

Katie Brennan danced behind people to celebrate being in remission.

Inspired by a video made by Andy Zenor, which depicted him dancing behind people that didn't know he was there, Ellen DeGeneres urged her show watchers to make their own videos.

One of those submitted was from Katie Brennan, of Merrick, who was diagnosed with cancer a year ago. She is now in remission.

See Brennan's YouTube video of her dancing behind her doctors as well as other hospital staff and visitors. Brennan's video was also picked as one of Ellen's favorites and was featured on her show segment.
