The subsequent performance was met with even greater enthusiasm from the audience: the young men showcased their creativity and humor by dancing to a variety of hit songs in their suits. They energetically mimed and danced along to the catchy chorus of Taylor Swift’s “Shake It Off” to kick off the show. The highlight of the performance was when they danced to Carl Douglas’s “Kung Fu Fighting,” with the crowd cheering and applauding as the four dancers displayed their kung fu moves in their stylish suits.Among various performances, this playful group is not the sole assembly of fifth graders to captivate an audience at a talent show; indeed, eight students achieved a similar feat at Porter Elementary in 2014. The students executed a synchronized swimming routine accompanied by classical music on a blue plastic sheet, which functioned as an improvised pool. Upon finishing their performance, the eight students received enthusiastic cheers and praise from the delighted audience.The two films, with a combined total of over 30 million views, illustrate the abundance of creativity and talent displayed at school talent shows. It is no small achievement to keep an audience captivated for even five minutes, and not everyone has the required skills. Yet, these young people achieved it effortlessly.
