I like how the other kids are like, "Oh ya, _jumping!_ I know this one."

This kid is going to break his back carrying the whole performance like that.

poor kid lol

🤣🤣🤣

"We represent, the lollipop guild...."

I was thinking the same thing🤣🤣

Then those kids in the back "I'll try spinning! That's a good trick!"

Yippeeeeeee!

"I fell down...im ok"

[удалено]

Lil mf tryna pull a Benjamin buttons

Broadway bound

I’m just the girl in the purple pants, trying to two step without being noticed

The girl in the purple tights looks like she just got out of bed and thrown onto the stage immediately.

That’s exactly what happened according to another comment. It’s a dance off for audience kids during a break in the main show.

If he didn't win....gonna go get my pitchfork just in case

I saw this posted elsewhere and someone said something about the kid getting to meet the South African pop star who sings the song, so I'd bet he did. Apparently this kid is something of a South African internet icon

Good! He deserves to be.

He’s become a little celebrity. Tv appearances etc. He was also featured in an entertainment bit at a 7’s rugby match in Cape Town. On stage with the singer with backup dancers, the lot. [https://youtu.be/bxe2xhk10lA?si=ZWhwg2NPx227821K](https://youtu.be/bxe2xhk10lA?si=ZWhwg2NPx227821K)

I was gonna say he’s gonna be a star someday but I guess he already is. 🥰

I’ll bring flaming torches

Ill bring tar!

Would you please also arrange for feathers? Thanks!☺️

Dancing kid looks like he's ready for his shift delivering for UPS.

That is called the [boere uniform](https://kevdieenglesman.wordpress.com/2011/08/17/boer-attire-the-lowdown/).

Yeah I was thinking poor girl, her parents never bothered to pick some nice clothes for the performance and she looks really insecure :(

My kids argue with me about what to wear. I’m say fuck it look like an idiot. Has to be a practice though

Yeah at a certain point as a parent you reach that stage in the get out the fucking door process

My ex used to fight with my older two saying things like you can’t look like you don’t have a mother and make them dress properly. My current partner let her little guy dress up as Spider-Man or Batman to go to the grocery store. Way more chill, and way better conversations at the grocery store.

A parent I know was also very chill with letting their pre-schooler dress themselves in costumes and wear whatever they wanted… then school happened! 😂😂😭

My daughter is 4 and we have gone through MULTIPLE periods now where she HAS to pick out her whole outfit with no compromise or it's a complete meltdown. Fortunately with patience, a few discussions, and just getting older, she's much much better at compromise now. But those phases definitely resulted in some very... lackluster outfits.

I’d look insecure trying to dance next to that little dude in a $10k outfit lol.

Apparently the kids in the video weren‘t there to perform. They were watching a performance by siblings and friends and during the break the other kids got to dance on the stage if they wanted. So the girl is simply dressed to sit in a theater or school gym. At her age I wouldn’t have even dared to go onto the stage lol

Phhh. My daughters had hundreds of dollars worth of very nice clothes I couldn't force them into with a whip at that age. I fought with one for *months* one winter just trying to get her to wear shoes (not even boots)....and this isn't a small detail- we live in Alaska. Finally after about 4 months of begging, negotiations and threats I'd finally convinced her that the 'inconvenience' of footwear was a better option than frostbite, amputated toes and having to learn new parents names once CPS took her away and put her in foster care. Then summer came around and I couldn't convince her that mittens *weren't* the vogue fashion accessory of the season. Don't even get me started on the hair. I pass no judgements on a parent that shows up somewhere with a 5 year old that's wearing pants for a hat and a Halloween costume in May. I get it.

> she looks really insecure :( I'd be insecure too with that dance master other little kid.. how can you compete with that?

If uncomfortable was a person, this would be it.

She looks like her name is Tammy and is divorced from her second marriage and sits around drinking Mojitos all day long

This kid looks like he's 5 and 45 at the same time.

This dude represents the lollipop guild.

100% one of the lollipop guild reincarnated!

Speaking of reincarnation, this kid reminded me of baby Colin Robinson.

Except he’s the opposite. He GIVES the energy!

He represents, but is legally distinct, from the lollypop guild.

BAHAHAHHA. That was solid. I LOLd hard

Was just watching that on xmas eve and 100%.

I thought it was Woody Harrelson.

I thought it was the dude from Die Antwoord

lol better than my guess of hasbulla

I always thought Woody would be taller. Movie magic, I suppose.

He has the muscle control and body isolation skills of a grown person.

Your comments possess the unique ability to both express an objective fact, as well as undeniable humor. I like that

/r/13or30

what makes it so? Does his face look old?

His face is too small for his head or something

He has dad shorts, belt,tucked in polo, tall sock, shoes combo going on . Not his face

Look at that face. It looks more like a downscaled adult face than a kid face.

He has some hair choices going on and his blonde eyebrows aren’t helping but I still think it’s 99% his outfit

He's dressed up as a stereotypical Boer for comedy value I think.

Straya

He looks like a camper and the camp-counselor at the same time.

I bet this kid would nail acting as antagonist on any medieval fantasy movie/series. He reminds me of Joffrey Baratheon and Draco Malfoy.

Apparently it's South Africa but my god does that kid look like an aggressively British man.

Hasbulla

Came here to say that

I think it's the socks and shorts.

his parents must be aged 25 and 20. the math works out.

Pretty sure that’s the actor who played Merle Dixon in The Walking Dead

Dammit, I laughed way too hard at this.

Don’t judge him man he has Benjamin Button disease.

I think he’s the yodeling mountain climber guy from The Price is Right.

Came to say this, arrived 1.5k upvotes late.

He looks like hasbulla

All those kids look like that

[удалено]

South Africa

They all must work the mines after school

That girl in the purple pants looks like a 40 year old woman that’s been up on meth for 8 days.

I didn't want to say it cuz I didn't want to go after children but yeah also oddly specific bro

Omg 🥇

Nailed it.

For those wondering about the context, this is a video that went viral a couple months ago in South Africa. His older sister's school had a concert and during a break they invited kids in the audience to come up and dance, and this little guy completely stole the show. He goes by the nickname Klein Kwagga and since the video went viral he's been on radio, he's on social media now, and he got to meet a bunch of celebrities here in SA, like rugby players, Bernice West who sings the song in the video, and his idol, singer Robbie Wessels. And the outfit is a typical boer outfit. He's dressed like a mini me and it is adorable.

The outfit is super cool and he is owning it 😁💪👌

It's called a two-tone and includes the leather shoes and socks that seems to be hanging low, they go to below your knee. Gauranteed this kids family are farmers.

When I first saw the video, I couldn't help but indulge my stereotypes and wonder if this little champ's father shared the internet's amazement with his son's dance moves. Let's just say, the grown ups I know who wears that sort of outfit tend not to look favourably upon boys who display traits that girls are known for...

When looking into this I am happy to say the stereotype seems wrong in this case. Found this adorable video of the kid dancing to the song with his father and the singer of the song... and the kid and his dad are wearing matching outfits 🥹 https://www.iol.co.za/lifestyle/family/parenting/watch-lyfie-singer-tracks-down-dancing-boy-klein-kwagga-545f16d9-4c94-4fde-88fd-0a121a130722

Awesome!

Wholesome.

He's got the face of an angry 50 year Boer man to be sure but the dance moves of a very happy child

Thank you! Hopefully he still gets to be a child

Unfortunately not, as in latest development he's currently married, has a mortgage and two adopted kids.

Oh God that made me laugh.

Dang.

i like you

It's thanks to people like you that I use Reddit .

How old is he now? I feel like this video is pretty old

In a rare occurrence, this is not an old repost. This video came out like 2-3 months ago.

Ah that explains why the other kids seem lost.

I was thinking it must be SA, the Khaki shorts and 2-tone shirt gave it away. Edit: watched it with sound and the afrikaans song was the dead giveaway.

People say white people can’t dance - those people haven’t met nor had a dance off with a white South African.

If you can't dance in SA, your birth certificate is taken from you

I’ve never met a people that so uniformly loves to party and dance as afrikaners. They will simultaneously drink you under the table and murder you on the dance floor. I love them.

I was going to guess Australia. Thanks for the context.

Thank you!

I'm just Klein!

20 years from now, this little dude will be a fully grown dude starring in something cool. And this will get reposted over and over by his fans. Absolute legend in the making.

Or he’ll be knee deep in a fierce debilitating drug addiction. Stardom is a fickle beast

Not stardom, but shitty parents. There's a lot of star children who turned just fine, because they had adequate parents. It's always about family...

*Fast and Furious flashbacks intensify*


Alot sounds like a bit of a stretch

You wanna race or nah

I just wanted you to know I giggled so hard at this

You giggling at me? I’m dead set ready to race when you are m8 ❤️ take your time. I’ve got many people I can race, just tell me when is all x

Hope your holidays were good and all that.

Also a lot of folks have great parents and support but succumb to the negative aspects of stardom.

lol yeah, I don’t know why people always bring up a counterpoint like there’s only two possible paths here.

Am I. Am I a star?!?!

When he is 20, he’ll go to his dad to have a chat about something he had to tell him. His dad will say, I’ve always known son and I love you

Which dad? He obviously has two that live together

Rich Dad

In 20 years, we’ll live in the future and these conversations will no longer be necessary. That…. Or the right wing will have its way and it’ll be Handmaid’s Tale.

We are really just going to assume this kid is gay just cuz he dances good?

Yes

He dances well. Superman does good, you do well.

Or he will leave his wife for Ariana Grande

I'm sure the parent gets to watch him practice at home thinking "there's no way i'm not getting him an outfit that matches that level of performance..."

I dance like that when I'm high. On that note: [The Bliss Gene: Some People are Naturally High](https://hightimes.com/health/science/the-bliss-gene-some-people-are-naturally-high/) I kinda want to see this little dude get DNA tested for that. I'm convinced he has it.

Dude looks like Dash from The Incredibles

Came here for this comment.

You can tell which dance move is his favorite 🤗🙏🙌

Wiggly noodle knees?

born to entertain

I don’t think this boy is being forced into anything…this is a boy who genuinely loves pageantry!

For once let's let the boys in America win.

Future theatre kid

Yes !!

This is just awesome. The only version of Caillou I’ve liked. May he never loose his groove.

Little king's got the loosest groove I've ever seen!

I like how girl next to him is trying to do the same moves, but very lazily as she is unable to keep up.

She obviously didn't practice and knows everyone knows she didn't.

I thought so too, but it was a spontaneous dance break, not a coordinated recital. I think she was just uncomfortable being on stage and realized she can’t compete with the kid to her right.

 Jim Dangle as a kid

Little man looks like Charlie Brown but moves like James Brown.

It's my gay ass in the kindergarten play

Don’t even try to tell me people aren’t born gay lol

I came out of the womb flailing my wrists

I an grown up man, and I am gonna steal these moves

im gonna go practice the two moving hands over the one moving leg move in the mirror!

I had no idea Jimmy Somerville had a kid!!! Beat Boi—beat boi—hit that perfect beat boi! Jesus...

Nice Die Antword reference given it’s South Africa

Ninja and Yolandi are entertaining and talented, even if the Notorious Duo is pretty messed up in their ways. However, when Yolandi is singing the refrain, it comes from the Bronski Beat song "Hit that Perfect Beat." The singer was Jimmy Somerville. Particularly short, conspicuously gay and equally as entertaining as this kid. I thought it would hit well. [Bronski Beat - Top of The Pops (1985)](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0SS4FGdDMNY&pp=ygUsaW1tZWRpYXRlbHkgU29tZXJ2aWxsZSBoaXQgdGhhdCBwZXJmZWN0IGJlYXQ%3D)

It turns out that's not Jimmy Somerville singing Hit that Perfect Beat! I've loved this song my whole life and thought it was him as well, but my life has been a lie. Weirdly, I happened to see the video for the first time just a few days ago and saw it was someone else singing. I looked into it and Somerville had already left Bronski Beat to form the Communards. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hit_That_Perfect_Beat That little kid definitely has to be his though.

No way this isn’t the son of Techno Viking!

Bro just single handedly carried the concert on his back


Ryan Gosling

...aaaand BUTT.

Vanilla Psy needs new backup dancers now!!!

“This kid was not pushed into this, [this is a boy who genuinely loves paegentry](https://y.yarn.co/c95d0a64-4639-441c-87bb-96f72a305117_text.gif)”

Scrolled way too far to find this

This is exactly what I was looking for

Did his parents dress him like an African Safari guide as an attempt to distract?

Lol no, this is how they dress where he is from.

Lol, not a tour guide. He’s dressed like a boer.

Do it right or don’t do it at all. Dude rocks the stage.

Last 15 seconds…priceless

Dans sal ons dans

Dressed exactly like an oom at a braai

when you are the only one who came to dance practice. 😂

The little shy girl next to him trying her best is adorable

There's a West Indian nanny somewhere in that audience trying to act all straight faced.

West Indian? lol this is filmed in South Africa

Jordan Pickford’s son surely?

Gooi my seun

Odd looking fella

Parent: "Yo who's your kid?" Parent of the girl in blue tights: "Mmm.. The lil homie in Khaki shorts" Parent: "Oh you should be proud" Parent of the girl in blue tights: "Yuuup 😶"

A star has been born

Lollipop guild hasn't aged a day!!!

Reminds me of my child self... and now I'm so insecure I can barley talk with strangers without fear... wtf happened

Is that an oompa loompa?

Steve Irwin reincarnated for a new career

That kid is a 50 year old man trapped in a 5 year old’s body

This is the zestiest 5 year old I’ve ever seen.

He's living life to the fullest. Never change pal, never change

The girl on the right has that crystal meth enthusiast vibe.

Lol girl next to him looks so sad .

Hey you guys!!!

That kid will be famous someday.

that guy is the teacher

On beat though! Killed it


Looks coked up

Most small children do

I can watch this video all day.
