A little girl tap danced flawlessly to Aretha Franklin’s “Respect” in a recital over the weekend, drawing widespread attention across social media. A mom from Raleigh, North Carolina posted a video of her six-year-old daughter’s dance recital and it quickly became an Internet sensation, racking up over 22 million views since Sunday. Why did it go viral? All you need to do is press play and you’ll see it’s because the adorable little girl Johanna absolutely slays Aretha Franklin’s iconic song “Respect.”
When asked about the dance by WRAL, Johanna simply said quote “I thought I was really spicy.”
She’s not wrong.
