🙃😘
Was dope
I think he missed the smurf, the cabbage patch, and the worm, but I could be wrong.
Me too.
@@ynmonroe but that Carlton 🙌
The atmosphere, the audience, the background, this is just refreshing to watch.
Yes!
The joy in that room was electric. Let's bring joy and laughter back. 💞
Amen!
@Chris Don't Miss Well, I think they might be learning how to dance. 😘💕
This is such a bot comment lol. NPC
Yes bring back joy and laughter PLEASE.
@@RPGeek said the bot.
Why did I just tear up thinking about how great teachers used to be , this teacher is awesome and will be able to connect with these kids for years to come because he inspires on common ground
When they show the audience at the end peep the Caucasian male teacher sitting there beet red face not clapping.😂😂😂
He is no longer at that school, but I know he still cares about the educational system.
@@ladyhotep5189 u cant even see him fully, don't assume
So true!!!! That's real teaching!!!
True eh. Now teachers are miserable, angry and likely to burn and loot once their shifts are over.
that dude with the white shirt in the back lmao..i feel like he has no control over his body, like as soon as the song drops his body just starts moving before he givves it permission
Gdirty7 that girl too 😂
LMAO
And thats what music basically do xD
Like at 0:43 seconds, that was so funny😂😂
Then he realizes he’s distracting and stops. But then his body takes over again and he does it again.
It’s funny cause all these songs are throwbacks now
Its funny because no one cept us know bout these.
True doe
@@inorite4553 Lmao you stretching to much 💀🗣
We old as shit now apparently 😩
Innit
Man, it's really cool that he did that performance for little kids. He gave it everything he had, and kilt it.
10 years later and I still can't get enough of this.
the guy in the white shirt felt this with all his soul
Kristen Pinpin Ik lol
Kristen Pinpin , yup and miss those day.
Sad he left
The best comment
Kristen Pinpin 😂😂
He gotta be someone’s uncle that always dances in the family reunion
Chandler Allum Uncle Mike....lol !
I want him to be my uncle.. for sure.. 😂
some uncle, though ... dude is a blast
I have that type of uncle and he's the life of the party😂.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 so funny
One of the best things a teacher can do is to inspire their students. This is exactly what this art teacher did in his own medium. I might not be a dancer (OK, I'm terrible), but this was awesome to watch. I know the kids appreciated this and love you!
He seems like the kind of teacher that just brings people together
Someone needs to hit this dude up and tell him to make a new one for 2020
Yesssss
According to the description that won't be happening sadly
Melissa really I thought he was terrible he didn’t do any real 80s moves! +What’s the rush switching in between songs
Thor he still put in the effort towards doing a lot of popular moves to the songs though, and they were probably cut short because they were short on time
@@jffry24 Facts 💯!! This performance was straight garbage!! 🗑
I love that the people on the edges are restraining themselves from fully joining in
Music can bring so many people together!
Having fun with music, dancing and enthusiasm is all it takes to make children happy while in school and kudos to the teacher who knew to provide that. A happy environment produces happier children , as well a happier student
I’d love to know where this young man is now, I hope he’s doing well in life, who knew this video would be viewed in the millions. So much talent ❤
the 80's-90's was honestly so hype
Right? I'm so glad I grew up then!
Honestly it was pretty good until like what... maybe 04?
Right! So much so that they are bringing all the dances back.. Now all we need is the “heel toe”
@@joy-115 and always in shape. Dance was everythin back then.
What’s the song at 1:44
Imagine having him as your art teacher as a kid,that would’ve been a fun and inspirational art class.
dude, my art teacher was an oldskool hippie, so when we were sneaking out smoking white widow, he got the thai.sticks out. very good dude, some very good memories. ✌
That teacher would be showing them the art of dancing..
Nah best teacher I ever had at Reid park
That would've been like Hollywood arts
@@indoor_gangster ⁹
WOW. The energy put into this, and he makes it look effortless!
Thank you being one that was born in the mid 70s I grew up during the 80s and graduated in 94! This was basically my life of music all the way to my 20s! I use to break when I was a young buck! I never left the house without my cardboard and big ass DD BoomBox! Kelly Turbo and Ozone were Gods to us back then! You did a great job kid thanks for bringing me down memory lane💯
True OG!
Wow only realized after watching that it was the ART TEACHER 😱 what a legend
Absolutely makes sense lol
Why? This is ART!
Dancing is a form of art so
only just realised after this comment!!
And I shit you not, his name is Mr. T
I LOVE when teachers have youthful spirits. It give more clout with the students.
beautiful soul CONNECTION might be the BEST word, but I def KNOW what you mean 👌🏾!
think about it...some of the teachers could be as young as 24 or 26....ummm that is youth at it's best.
@Uber Alles ...hm... hopefully youre still in school
Gay
P slay who gives a fuck 😂😂🖕🏻🖕🏻
We had some great music back in the day!
We need more teachers like this - he was great!
That was such amazing artistry! Every beat, every era, every time frame, you caught on to each one of them through movement and art. So fluid, you badass!
“And next up we have little Johnny, who’s gonna play twinkle twinkle little star on the piano!”
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!
"Little Johnny? ... Little Johnny? Has anyone seen Little Johnny?"
"It appears Johnny has disappeared."
Lmfaaaaaaaaooooooo
😂😂😂
you can tell the age of the kids by how hype they get when songs they know start:)
exactly!
And seeing a teacher that they like up on that stage... All that excitement...
@@lisacox3750 Tg
I thought same thing half them didn't know most of those songs that bring me such joy
And those are the songs I DON'T know! 🤣🤣 I must be old. (Actually some of them I know but still.) 😊
What a special teacher! Love that he found a way to engage with his students through music and dance.
You can tell how old this is by the last movement. Dance is so powerful man. The dances you knew the most were when you were a kid
Any vid that can make you laugh, cry, dance, cheer, laugh, cuss, pull a muscle, and rewind is doing its job well.
Mr. Thompson is a legend.
Facts
😂😂😂😂😂
Pull a muscle 😂😂😂
Absolutely
I shed a tear going back down memory lane
I can't believe "Now" was already 7 years ago
Times going too fast tryna slow it down
He killed it , he had me rolling. Do it some more😂😂😂
10 years ago, and this video is still bringing memories and smiles. LOVE IT!
TikTok: We got the best talent
Mr. Thompson: Hold my textbooks 😎
Judson Laipply: lol, that's cute
1:00 YO THIS DUDE IN THE BACK IN THE WHITE SHIRT KILLING ME! 😂😂😂
Right like he was there during rehearsal or something...sit you arce down nucca... 😂😂😂
He had me weak the whole damn time 😂😂😂
Shepherd's Chapel Network !!!!!!! Pastor Murray is an Anointed Servant of GOD who teaches the Word of GOD with Authority!!!!!!!
Round of applause to this guy. Where is he today??!! I can’t stop watching his video. Greatest talent show act I’ve ever seen. This was genius and he had the moves down to the tee. 👏👏👏👏
This is AWESOME!!!! This is an example of giving kids tools to be WELL ROUNDED!!!!
That kid in the corner sticking his head out 😂😂😂
lol I was waiting for someone to comment about that and in the beginning the guy in the backround was dancing to it to
Lol that face he realized he's next
Zoe Alter i
Zoe Alter akmaaksk
Suwisososows
Zoe Alter I c that
you know u're old when u recognized every dance 😂😂😂😂
la batelieraaa I'm 13 and I know every song
la batelieraaa has nothing to do with age
can i tell you
I'm 17 and recognized all of them 😂😂
la batelieraaa dead ass!! but great memories tho
This never gets old.
I WISH HE WAS MY TEACHER!!! What a fun loving man!!! This is the kind of energy that makes an inspiring teacher❤️🙏🏻
I'm not sure what's more awesome, the fact he's such a tight dancer or how the kids go crazy over him doing so! What an inspiration! Love it.
Alot of us "new school kids" know alot of those songs born 2006 and knows every song especially dmx, Coolio, sugar gang, ice cube, etc all of the people 36 and more talk about we don't know old school music or consoles shoot I still play my atiri 500 boiii
He killed that. I want to see a 2021 version now. That was amazing.
ITA W/U, +amber mcgregor!
Wow all these songs and dance moves brought my childhood back sooo hard, what a talent this man has !!
Damn he brought back some memories. I didn’t want him to stop
Let me tell you. I'm in my 50s n I love seeing all the dances he performed🖤💯 Enjoyed the music as well. Brought back some good memories😍 He's talented 🤗🤗
Yep 👍🏼
Heard!
Yes he is
That made me smile ☺️
I hate how people look for something to complain about. "HE forgot this or that" This is his video and the moves he likes which he killed all of them. If u wanna see a moonwalk go make a video urself or type in moonwalk dance. Anyway shout-out to this guy, u did a great job bro
Fr like ppl are just alway nagging on UA-cam lol nothing is ever good enough for them
Ikr I'm over here like "wow that's so co- omg that's even coole- omg that's amazi- yassss you can't top that-" etc. Like it's so awesome, wish I could do that😂 and I look at the comments and there all "wheres the moonwalk?" Like seriously?!
The lady in the beginning stated dance moves from the 80s to 2013 were gonna be performed and guess what dance move was relevant in the mid 80s the moonwalk
Q. Ferg Agree 💯
Meanwhile, we complain about the people that are complaining xD
Dude!!!! You are amazing!!!! You can't even imagine how happy this made me this morning!!! Great way to start the day!!!! Thank you!!!!!
Years later & im seeing this for the first time. Awesome. Re living my youth , & then in my marriage was watching the kids , nieces & nephews doin these dances. We were all soo innocent & fun. As a parent taking the moral high ground, it was great to be apart the happiness.
I'm actually not embarrassed at the amount of times I've watched this lol
Akua lol me too.😂
Amen😂
You should be
Same 😂😂😂😂😂
Why would you be?
They were all elementary kids!!
80's and 90's babies would've recognized everything lol
Your right about that
thise fresh prince vibes tho
Joshua Montoya z
Joshua Montoya no boy I'm born in 2002 and I know all of these
Joshua Montoya he has a beard I hope you were being sarcastic
Just wanna say: its 2021, I'm in Jamaica and this is probably the best funday dance I've ever seen
OMG !!! The ENERGY!!!!! I couldn’t stop smiling!!! THANK-YOU you making my Saturday!!!!
This is the first time that I smiled and laughed for 5 minutes straight in a long time. Thank you for that.
me too😅😅😅
Same! 😂
@Grande Papi what the fuck is wrong with u get a life
@Grande Papi to*
@Grande Papi god bless you
Grandpa was this guy at our family reunions... sadly, that trait missed me. Grandma used to tell me that dad only exists because of Grandpa's skills at the dance hall in the 40's.
Lmao.grandma got seduced by grandpas magical dancing skills
So grandpa did the thriller, cuz he gettin freaky
That's so cool. Grandpa was the dopest cat on the dance floor.
🤣😂🤣
This is extra satisfying and fun, if you're my age and not only remember, but did every last one of these dances!! Lol!💃🏾💃🏾😁
Amazing!!! This took me back to school and my teenage days!!! Aaaah the flashbacks 🤭🤗💃🏾👯🏾♀️🕺🏾
This honestly makes me so happy that this art teacher did this for all of these students and everyone else. Absolutely killed it and brought everyone in that room so much joy. Feels like I'm stepping back in time watching this.
We did step back in time, nice to have almost 5 minutes of pure joy.
I have tears full of excitement because I was that dude just like this when I was in school. I love this so much
I have tears running down my face I laughed so much
He just shut the school down for the day
Comment of the year
👁👄👁
The kids singing….precious!!!!Love this!!! Someone take me dancing!!!
I remember when my mom showed a few years back and I have been trying to find this video since then and now I don finally found it and I enjoyed watching it again
The crowd is howling...they LOVE him!
He did some of those dances so well they were only recognizable to people that knew the originals. What a great job of taking what what someone else did and making it your own.
When someone has the ability to bring this much joy and happiness to so many people at the one time, you just know that they are a very gifted person. This video warmed my heart. ♥️♥️♥️👌👌👌
Enjoyed every second of this as much as his audience
I like how he gets everybody going...even the teacher in back was getting into it 👍
I like the way that guy in the background keeps getting up and doing the same moves.
I'm sooo happy this Guy was able to get up and show the kids what Old School Dancing was all about!! This made my day I loved this clip!! Phenomenal 🔥🔥🔥 Video and Thanks for Sharing💯❤💯❤
the best one i have seen!!! i have watched this so many times!!! i remember all them dances back in the day lmao
I hope he is still teaching at that same school. He's the teacher you always wish you had.
From one art teacher to another,,,,,,, I love this!!!!
Thank you!
Loved it, and loved seeing the people in the background absolutely resonate to his dance moves
This just made me so happy! Such a talented dancer to be able to switch up so fast! Thanks for this!!!!
That is the CUTEST thing ever; the kids are so excited!
He so killed it on a professional level, the dancing the music editing n all!
Thank you for posting this there's Hope for our children and I thank God for teachers like you ❤️
He did this so very well, I'll never hear these songs without seeing him!
I was born in 84...so lucky to experience all these different types of dances through the last decades! Dam I'm old 🤭
Oh wow!! OMG! He must be the best ever art teacher!!
I could see me back in the day doing quite a few of those!
PetitePrincess92 me to
Can’t believe this video is 7 years old. I just remember watching this and being so proud and happy to be black and of such richness and sauce 🤣😭♥️ STILL AM!!!
💪💪💪

@@tabathastaples7884 ??? Does that have something to do with this dancing? JW
you should always be proud of the colour of your skin whatever its colour is
Be proud of your personal achievements. It makes no sense to be proud of something that happened as a result of random chance, such as skin color, nationality, and ancestors. None of those things took an ounce of sweat to achieve.
tbh this is probably one of the best & one of my favorite versions of all the “dances through the decades” vids i’ve seen on yt, lmao
What an amazing teacher. I bet all of those kids just adore him!

*Checks the upload date*
Me: Ah, yes
But fr, great performance
EJMedia_ lmao me too
Okay, you seemed to have posted for me 🤷♀️
Yes that was the shit back in the day I always wondered why no matter how much I listened to the song I never understood or could follow the words.
No Nae nae?
U have 666 likes
He did a phenomenal job. I graduated high school class of 06’ (during the period when Atlanta-walk it out, laffy taffy, etc and Cali-crunking had took over the music scene) and he helped me traveled down memory lane. Thank you 😊!
I was a DJ as soon as I turned 21 & was always the kid with the boom box on his shoulder. This was hype & nostalgic AF. Great video!
To the people wondering why he didn't start break dancing or pop-lockin. I'm pretty sure he was sticking to popular easy to learn party dances, simple dances that the average person could learn in a few minutes. Which is why these dances were so popular at the time. Break dancing and pop-lockin arn't easy styles for the average person to pick up. They each require a lot of practice and dedication to coming up with ur own unique style. Besides, he made all of these dances look good. I just wish he had ended it by shuffling🤣
You are absolutely right! I'm not a break dancer lol
Those dances are extra and stupid.
So glad he included the Carlton, so that I could hear Tom Jones singing that song of my childhood household!
@@redmac7766 Yep, those were the years! Thanks for sharing! Fun times. Cool video!
its a crime that he didnt have anything from MJ lol. He was the biggest name of the era, and best popular dancer ever. oh well, its good to give others a chance
@@AC-mp7cx MJ fan here. Tom Jones was probably easier to pull off than MJ.
@@horseygurl143 I have to agree with you. This video is still so dope!!
Whew! When he started the Bankhead Bounce through Tge Train, brought back my HBCU memories! But u was also reminded of how slowly music traveled to tthe south because about a year earlier we were doing The Tootsie Roll, but called it The Butterfly.
Omg this brought so much Joy to my heart. I love it.
You have to admit the guy is awesome but you need to admit the guy in the background with the white shirt on is basically the show he is too awesome
Riva Benzikri nah he was annoying
That's why I hate assholes like him. Totally trying to steal the show.
Julio Cesar dang! Let the kids enjoy the music? 😆
Male educators are so important!! 👏🏾👏🏾
Great moves! 🙏🏾
Ikr lol
Omg I literally turned the likes to 80 xd
He’s spot on. Love it!!!! I would love to have a teacher like him growing up.
Great job! This is the kind of teacher we all need in our communities.
I'm finna cry no lie like omg the memories of the good stuff when everyone had so much fun at school event's and wasn't afraid to dance. I was super shy and still went off on the dance floor I middle school 😅 🔥
That was amazing, literally smiling from ear to ear. BRILLIANT!!
Those kids are mesmerized
3:09 When he hit that right thurr 🔥🔥🔥
He flamed it straight fire
Its called the chickenhead. I love seeing guys do that for some reason
