Mom and Son keep their fleet feet moving to the beat.

Which beat exactly? Why none other than DJ Khaled and Drake’s “To the Max.”

They’re taking advantage of everything Phil’s taught them!

They’ve learned a whole lot.

Son ain’t bad. But Mom… Mom’s got some stuff!

Son’s got game, too. No doubt.

He is the son of his mom, after all. I guess their smooth moves run in the family!

Son takes center stage with some style.

I like his headband, too.

Mom and Son reconnect for a fitting finale.

Their peers absolutely love it.

They finish their routine to a raucous crowd!

DJ Khaled and Drake’s “To the Max” chugs along. The dancers let their bodies do the talking.

Welcome to the Phil Wright school of dance!

His fleet-footed pupils have been lighting up the dance floor for years. This studio is but one example of his influence.

Next, a family of four with some pink shirts step into the center.

So who exactly is Phil Wright?

Well, he’s a talented choreographer that’s worked with superstars like Will Smith, MC Hammer, and Cardi B.

He’s a big influence in Los Angeles, featuring dance classes and open sessions.

His students are spectacular, as you can see!

Seriously, the whole squad’s got game.

The young boy’s attempt at a snarky chin scratch is both precious and hilarious.

Looks can be deceiving.

An elderly man in a yellow shirt and baseball cap takes his young dance partner by the hand.

Don’t let appearances fool you. What he lacks in agility he makes up for in grace!

He’s not half bad. Some say he gets his powers from his blue hat!

There are so many smiles in the dance studio. Everyone’s having a blast, not just the dancers!

To top things off, she’s on fire!

“Stupid is as stupid does”

His shirt quotes Forrest Gump. Fortunately, it doesn’t seem to apply to anybody in this video.

With smiles on their faces, the duo puts on a masterclass lesson in having fun.

Drake’s lyricism continues to the beat, as do the dancers. A fresh set of legs steps forward.

These two know what to do, too!

They love every moment of it, giving the camera everything they’ve got.

Her smile says it all. And the guy with the hood has some serious swag!

They’re all from different walks of life.

Nonetheless, they’re one and the same in this studio. They’re all dancers taken away by the heart and soul of the rhythm.

But at the end of the day, this studio’s full of regular people with a penchant for fun and a passion for dance!

Some smooth dudes in black shirts close out the session to an energized audience.

They could probably go all day!

Phil would be proud.

What do you think of this group of likable dancers? How about those moves? Everybody was awesome!

Even the less technically skilled dancers brought genuine joy to their performances.

So, how are your dancing skills? Whether salsa, hip-hop, or tango, dancing’s a whole lot of fun!

As Michael Scott once said in season two episode eleven of The Office,

“Dancing… it is a primal art form used in ancient times to express yourself with the body!”

Actually, scratch that. Turns out, dancing’s a thriving modern artform! I think Phil Wright and his dance studio would agree!

Be sure to check out the entirety of their performance in the video player below!

Warning: you may feel compelled to dance the day away!
