Mr. T is a teacher that knows how to cut a rug.

He wastes no time in the performance and starts with a popular song from 1988. The teacher stands with his back to the crowd and they scream in anticipation. When he spins around, he immediately starts breaking it down and pulls out some classics.

“It Takes Two” by Rob Base and D.J. E-Z Rock comes blaring through the speakers and the crowd goes nuts. Mr. T starts dances along before the music quickly switches.

He starts to go through songs from each decade, and before long, he looks like a professional dancer with those skills!

From Salt N Pepa’s “Push It” in 1986 to MC Hammer’s “Can’t Touch This” in 1990, Mr. T did all the hits. Every dance he did was on point, especially the “hammer-time” dance.

With moves like these, he should be dancing for a living! I’m surprised he was able to memorize so many dances, but he did with no problem.

He also didn’t forget songs like “Tootsie Roll” or “Gettin Jiggy Wit’ It.”

For any chart-topping song you can think of, it’s almost guaranteed that Mr. T knows the dance to it. Towards the end he even did “Anaconda,” but the song he did after that was unexpected.

He suddenly did “It’s Not Unusual” by Tom Jones, which didn’t even make sense being that it’s from 1965. Either way, the dance was hilarious!

Mr. T goes from the ’80s and ’90s, straight to the 2000s with Soulja Boy’s “Crank That”—and he nails it!
