Eamonn Kilbride, 46, was performing the energetic dance by Korean popstar PSY at the Thwaites Brewery party in Blackburn, Lancashire when he suddenly fell to the ground.
His wife Julie, who was there celebrating her birthday, tried to perform CPR but to no avail. He died of acute heart failure.
Mrs Kilbride told The Sun newspaper that her husband was "a great family man" who she had been married to for 23 years.
“I want people to know how he would help anybody whether it was a life-long friend, or someone he had just met," she said. “Eamonn was always the life of the party and loved dancing.
“We were having a fantastic time at the Christmas party and Eamonn had just finished dancing to Gangnam Style. He was up on stage and entertaining everybody.
“He said he had a bit of a pain and just collapsed," she said. “I tried to revive him until the ambulance got there, but by the time he got to the hospital he was gone.”
Mr Kilbride had three children, Laurajade, 22, Jack, 21, and Conor, 18, who are all at university.
