Sometimes, we can’t help but groove and jive to good music – and that’s whether we’re a dancer or not. There’s really something in us that makes us move to an inviting beat.

How much more so if the talent for dancing runs in your blood? How early does someone’s talent show? 10? 7? 5?

We say 2! And you’ll wonder not, after seeing this little boy’s cute viral video!

In the YouTube video uploaded by Studie43, William Stokkebroe was just 2 years old. His parents, Kristina and Peter Stokkebroe, were members of a professional dance group in Denmark.

He’s been exposed to the nature of his parents’ job at a young age. Thankfully, it all transpired in his funny video.

They wrote in the video’s caption,

“The boy’s name is William Stokkebroe. After seeing his parents Kristina and Peter Stokkebroe and the dancers of studie43 practising he is showing what he has learned at the Galla opening 2.”

Little William didn’t dance to some nursery rhyme, though.

He strutted out to Elvis Presley’s ‘Jailhouse Rock’!

Could you even believe that? This boy must’ve been born in the wrong era, perhaps?

The song was a “King of Rock and Roll” hit and it was released back in the 50s. The song was written by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller that first became a hit for Elvis Presley.

As soon as the music came on, the toddler immediately rushed to the center of the watching crowd.

He was all-in with his performance! He did some hip dance, jumping, stomping, and wiggling.

He was even mouthing the lyrics of the song!

He was circling the ballroom while bouncing non-stop on his little toes. The amused audience was all eyes on him and though the video was a little dark, we are certain that they were all smiling while watching little William dance.

Did he learn his moves from his parents?

Well, there’s no telling if Kristina and Peter gave their little one some dance lessons themselves. Though that was the case, it still showed that dancing is in William’s veins, just like his parents. We’re guessing that he’s been to countless dance rehearsals, picked-up some moves, and memorized it by heart.

According to one website,

“Toddlers are curious, emotional, busy little people. It’s a sign of all that incredible brain development that’s happening every single day. As they head towards their second birthday, they’ll start to show more interest in people rather than things, becoming more and more sociable and interacting with the world around them.”

Everyone loves little William!

The little performer was wearing his jeans and a checkered shirt. It may not be the perfect outfit for the occasion, but hey, don’t discredit the kid from his performance.

The crowd was roaring in the background and endlessly cheering for the tiny performer. William is a show-stopper and there’s no contesting that, wouldn’t you agree?

To prove to us that he’s a performer, he respectfully bows at the end of his performance. What a kid!

He is an internet star!

His adorable video was uploaded back in 2012 and since then, it has already amassed a whopping 46.9 million views. In fact, some people have watched his video just recently and they’re as equally entertained as the people present during that day.

“It’s 2020 and I’m still Loving this!!!” One user commented.

Another wrote,

“He is so lovely!! He doesn’t even seem fazed by the people’s reaction to his awesome performance! 😍👏💙”

“He can barely talk, probably don’t even sleep in a Big Boy bed……but this little buddy has moves ….”

Another video of him dancing was uploaded on the same channel in November 2018. You can click here to check it out.
