Boy’s dance moves steal the show at basketball tournament (Videos)

WASHINGTON — A boy’s fancy footwork at a basketball tournament had many spectators forgetting about the on-court action.

A video of Peyton “Peanut” Henderson dancing during Pharrell Williams’ “Happy” at the Kentucky High School Boys’ State Basketball tournament on March 20 is going viral.

A video of the dance on Facebook has been shared more than 700,000 times.

Henderson’s aunt, Angie Holleran, posted the video on YouTube, too, saying he was “dancing in his normal personality.”

“Can’t keep him still if music is playing,” Holleran write on the post.

But Henderson’s talents couldn’t be stopped. He followed his first routine up with an energized performance to Taylor Swift’s “Shake It Off.”
