Dance
Teachers walk onto stage and start dance-off that makes students go crazy
The students did not see this coming. And honestly? Neither did we!

“You’ve gotta dance like there’s nobody watching,
Love like you’ll never be hurt,
Sing like there’s nobody listening,
And live like it’s heaven on earth.”

These are lovely words from William W. Purkey. It is mainly talking to you and me about the meaning of not being too hard on ourselves.

That’s how these teachers are breaking the stadium as well as the online world, as their short dance clip went viral.

A group of teachers at Andress High School (AHS) in El Paso, Texas, United States took the stage during a pep assembly to do something entirely unexpected.

Let’s do a dance-off! The crowd was jammed with students who were all there to witness and judged the challenge.

Their participation would serve the purpose of the gathering to encourage school spirit and to support members of the team, before a sports event.

The competition took place at a time when the TZ Anthem Challenge, a dance craze, was flooding the internet, using the hashtags #TZAnthemChallenge and #JujuOnThatBeat.

People all over the world were posting videos of themselves — solo, duo, family, or friends, dancing to “Juju On That Beat” by Zay Hilfigerrr and Zayion McCall.

But not just any moves would do; the hip hop track requires a set of moves.

When the song began to play, you could see some of them trying to come up with a quick plan of what they were going to do…

Until the guy in the maroon polo shirt is a bit confident enough and started doing cool dance moves.

It’s not easy to get up in front of a crowd and dance, particularly if you’re not a professional and the judges are high school students you’re teaching.

Afterward, the teachers were able to stay calm and relax and move into the rhythm and beat of the music.

The students erupt in applause as the lady in the green jacket continues to master the dance, that’s why others are following her movements.

However, there’s a reason she stands out from the other teachers…

When the camera zooms in on her, she flawlessly performs each step from the famous dance challenge.

“She killed it. This made me smile. I love and respect teachers so much”

The female dance teacher obviously won, and even her colleague raised her arm in excitement and you could see that they really had a great time.
