If you’ve ever wondered how to make household chores a bit more thrilling, you need to meet Sharidon Johnson and his family.

Sharidon was knee-deep in a DIY home makeover, yanking out his living room carpet, when his young daughter decided it was time to pump up the jam.

But we’re not talking about any ordinary break here; we’re talking about a full-on dance battle royale!

In Sharidon’s own words, “Was pulling up the carpet and listening to old school hip hop… My daughter comes up to me and says ‘Dad let’s Dance battle!’ Let’s do it!”

Recognizing this was the sort of magical family moment that needed to be preserved for posterity, Mom did what any quick-thinking parent would do: she grabbed her phone to film the dance duel.

So, there they were, father and daughter, standing in a partially-renovated living room, about to get down to the smooth grooves of “Electric Relaxation (Relax Yourself Girl)” by A Tribe Called Quest.

And since she was the one who threw down the dance battle gauntlet, it was only fair that the daughter go first.

Right from the first beat, this pint-sized dynamo electrified the room.

She was like a spark plug of energy, jiving and gyrating as if she was born to dance.

But it wasn’t just the moves that had everyone’s attention—it was her flair for the dramatic.

This wasn’t just a dance; it was a full-on performance.

With every spin and step, she made sure her dad knew that she came to win.

A point here, a twirl there, and a gaze that could only say, “Your move, Dad.”

The ball—or rather, the beat—was now in Sharidon’s court.

Time to set aside those home improvement tools and show his daughter the dance moves that clearly run in the family.

And boy, did Sharidon rise to the occasion!

With a veteran’s poise, he made it obvious that this was not his first dance battle rodeo.

His footwork was on point, and his rhythm was impeccable.

All the while, his daughter’s eyes never left him, as though mentally storing each move for her own future dance-offs.

Just when you thought it was reaching peak intensity, Sharidon pointed back at his daughter, signaling that round two was officially underway.

No words needed to be exchanged—their dance moves said it all.

But then, just as you’d expect in any thrilling competition, the unexpected happened.

The daughter pulled an ace from her sleeve: a breakdancing move that included a dazzling spin and a kick aimed playfully at her dad.

The room filled with laughter and applause.

At that point, Sharidon knew he was outclassed, but oh, what a way to go!

The Johnsons knew they had something special, so they uploaded the video to YouTube, adding it to their existing library of dance content.

If you peruse Sharidon’s channel, you’ll find it’s not just an isolated dance-off.

This family lives and breathes dance—from spontaneous dance-offs involving the sons to grooving at NBA games, barbecues, and yes, even during more home improvement projects.

The Johnsons firmly believe that life gets a whole lot better when you dance through it.

Now, isn’t it time you watched the full dance battle and cast your vote for the ultimate dance champion?
