Mike Thomas is a health coach. He spends a lot of his time thinking carefully about what we put in our bodies, and uses that advice to guide other people.

Though he recently found another outlet that made good use of his athletic shape.

At his daughter’s wedding, Coach Mike made sure the father-daughter dance was as good as can be.

In addition to practicing what he preaches, Mike can also dance.

So when it came time for the father-daughter dance at the wedding, Mike was readier than ever.

Mike and his daughter slow-dance to “Kind and Generous.”

Their family and friends all watched from their seats, while Steve (from Steve Weber Films) captured it.

This song alone would have been enough to remember the night for, but not for these two.

In true viral-dance-video fashion, the music changes abruptly. Is that “Smooth Criminal” I hear?

Yes it is. There’s no mistaking that beat.

The father and daughter pair obviously can match the pace of the song – they chose it, after all.

After Mike treats the crowd to a moonwalk, his daughter lets loose too before the next song change.

And that next song is none other than “Dynamite” by Taio Cruz.

That takes us back quite a few years.

2009 was such a simple year with great songs, and “Dynamite” was definitely a highlight of 2009.

Mike and his daughter recapture that energy really well, and I’m sure it was a nostalgia trip for the whole room.

Mike even knows a few foot-shuffle moves. Did he used to dance back in his day?

They also have really good taste in music.

The track selection hasn’t disappointed so far, and the next song is “Classic” by MKTO.

Once again, Mike proves he’s no slouch when it comes to moving.

Whether he always had it in him, or learned only recently for the wedding, he’s knocking it out the park.

His daughter won’t have to worry about her friends thinking her dad’s lame.

After a show like this, “lame” is the last word I’d describe him with.

MKTO is a stellar choice.

Their dance numbers were winning the crowd over already, and they kept the wave going for MKTO’s killer song.

And the hits keep on coming.

Your ears aren’t fooling you – that’s “24k Magic” by Bruno Mars right there.

Bruno knew what he was doing with “24k Magic.”

With a fresh beat, genius lyrics, and his winning voice, it’s a certified hit for a reason.

“24k Magic” is a party song for a reason, and it works just as well at weddings.

Look no further than Mike and his daughter.

Tearing up the dance floor while Bruno Mars graces our ears is a great way to end the night.

That’s the last song on the list.

With that, the father and daughter hug it out while the wedding guests give them a huge round of applause.
