For quite a few years now, online challenges have been quite the trend. One of the most successful challenges was the Ice Bucket Challenge, which involved having a bucket of ice water dumped on the participant. This challenge was taken up by several celebrities, including now-President Donald J.Trump. There have also been silly challenges, like the one that dares you to eat an entire spoonful of cinnamon. But there’s one challenge out there today that’s not only fun, but it’s also great exercise. The Git-Up challenge, inspired by a song named “The Get Up” by Blanco Brown, typically involves a group of people performing the moves as a unit.
In this challenge, it’s all about the dance moves, and as you can probably imagine, the internet is flooded with all types of crazy submissions. But one young man decided to tackle the challenge solo. And we’re happy he did because it allowed us to really savor his brilliant moves. Dressed in blue jeans, a white button-down dress shirt, a brown cowboy hat, and of course, cowboy boots, he starts off the challenge slowly while mouthing the words to the song. Although he’s small, don’t let that fool you. This kid has moves most adults (including myself) would envy.

He even throws in some cute little nods that give his performance spirit and attitude that makes it a lot of fun to watch.
As the music ramps up, as does his moves. Sliding from one side of the living room to the other, he gives his heels a hard click. And he also has some incredible hip movements, the kind you would expect to see from a professional dancer on Dancing with the Stars. His rhythm is flawless, and he never misses a beat. His body flows in every direction the song takes him.

When the song gets to the part where it says, “Take it to the left now and dip with it,” he does just that. He then gets his hips into the groove, executing perfect timing to the words, “Now lean back, put your hips in the Whoo-hoo-hoo; let’s have some fun!” He may have a look of concentration on his face, but you can tell this kid’s having a blast!.

Comments on social media almost universally praise this young man’s talents. One poster said, “OMG…get down with your bad self…this young man has rhythm.” Another person posted, “Excuse me…excuse me, young man, just where did you get all that attitude to feel all that? Your mom has to keep her eye on you.”

And while the song includes a lot of step-by-step instructions, it still takes a lot of natural talent or perhaps a lot of practice to make them look this good. And this kid doesn’t just make the moves look good; he owns them along with the song.

Even if you’re not very good on the dance floor, this is a great challenge to try, and it’s all about having a good time. You can even find tutorials online that will walk you through the steps for each verse and the chorus of the song. And who knows, maybe you’ll find your groove like this kid and become the next viral sensation?
