If you want to watch a video that’s full of pure, unapologetic joy, then this next one’s for you. Phil Wright is a well-known professional choreographer, who despite his own impressive skill, decided to create a dance class that was inclusive for everybody- no matter their experience or age.
Phil believes that everybody has a right to dance- even if you have two left feet.
It’s no surprise that videos of Phil’s classes- or ‘jam sessions’ as he likes to call them- are often viral in the online world, because they always manage to bring a smile to our faces. Out particular favorite is Phill’s “Parent Jam” sessions, where parents are invited to dance along with their children.
Although his dance studio can be found in Los Angeles, Phil is often traveling around the world, on a mission to bring people together through dance. And it’s a mission, success, as far as we’re concerned.
In one of Phill’s most recent open dance classes, he came up for some choreography for DJ Khaled’s “To The Max” hit- and trust us when we say you don’t want to miss this.
The single, which features Canadian rapper, Drake, instantly became popular with over 500,000 sales and numerous Top 100 spots in worldwide music charts. It’s a great song to pick for a hip-hop dance routine, as the fast drum beat just makes you want to get up and dance. It has a fast tempo of 150 beats per minute, so people can really get their groove on.
Phil shared the dance class onto his YouTube channel, and unsurprisingly it has received over 4.5 million views from people all over the world, since being posted.
One of the best things about Phil’s dance classes is that they really don’t discriminate. There are people of all ages, from kids who only look around five years old to moms, and even grandads. And they’re all working it!
One of the most important things to bring to a dance routine is energy, and the people in this room are practically overflowing with it.
Two by two, the different generations take to the floor to perform their hip-hop dance, while the other dancers waiting their turn cheer them on.
You can really tell that Phill’s studio a place for no judgment. Everybody is cheering everybody on, and it’s obvious that all the dancers feel comfortable around each other.
We’re in love with this whole video, but our favorite dancing duo has to be the girl and her grandad.
Despite the girl being an incredible dancer, it’s her grandad who steals the show! He may not be able to complete all of the moves, but he’s always on beat, and he proves perfectly that age is just a number when it comes to dancing and having a good time.
You can tell that the duo is feeling the music, and both of them can’t take the smiles off their faces!
This talented grandad stole not only our hearts, but also the hearts of people all over the world, and they took to the comments to express their love for the video:
“The girl with her grandfather almost made me cry! I wish I had my grandparents to dance with me,” one person commented.
“Phil, I just want to say that this class of yours seems like the most welcoming ever. Everyone always looks like they are having fun, there are so many different types of people but everyone cheers for each other! I would totally go to this class,” one viewer wrote.
“The granddaughter grandfather duo had my heart!! I can only imagine how happy he was to be apart of that!” Jamie Presto commented.
