VIDEO: Teacher Leads His Students In Dance Routine To ‘Uptown Funk’

This song will never EVER get old.

Uptown Funk is our jam at the moment (we have been known to chair dance on occasion) and that’s why we appreciate the below video a LOT.

Scot Pankey, a theatre teacher at A. Maceo Smith New Tech High School in Dallas, choreographed a routine to the hit song and enlisted his students to perform in a video which has since gone viral.

“I heard the song before Christmas and fell in love with it,” he told the Dallas Morning News.

“We are a project-based school … You give the students a project, put them in teams, and they have to come up with solutions. They had three weeks to work on it, then present as a group what they learned.”

 

He couldn’t resist joining in with his pupils, adding “I told them, ‘I am not a dancer, but I’d love to do this and go on this journey with you, and we can all learn from it and have a good time”.

Is it Saturday night yet?
