This dancing baby, who hails from the dance capital of the universe, Brazil, grooves an enviable samba. But many don't believe it's real video, including Today show anchor Ann Curry.
My money is on authenticity.
As a dancer all my life, I've seen kids, and yes, babies, who can move like this. They see their families get down and the little ones then do what they do best, mimic. It's not all that difficult to connect the dots.
Let's hope the family continues to post videos of the dancing baby so we can watch him bust a move on a regular basis.
...5, 6, 7, 8.

Real J said...I'm with u on this one, people are just ignorant these days. It's a baby dancing for god's sake, these losers need to travel more, especially to the caribbean...they would be amazed at what they see.

JoanK said...I have to agree with another poster...this BABY is no baby, probably 3 or even 4 years old. Mom slaps a diaper on him and makes him out to be a prodigy child with dance moves...

Palma said...I think Ann Curry should shout her mouth. This is real. Let us see you dance. This kid is enjoying his-self. Yes he saw someone dance and mimic them but this is how all kids learn. You say something and then they repeat after you. He's a joy to watch and he put a smile on my face today.

Maria said...Since I am Brazilian I can assure it is a real video. Everybody knows that we love to dance and we are taught since we are toddlers . Go to a Brazilian party and you all see what I am talking about. This boy is very cute and dances better than a lot of people that I know.

Darnell said...Heck you think that diaper is loaded....check out the shelves in the background loaded with booze! They have more stock than the local bar!!!

KitKat said...Maybe if mamma was dancing like this she wouldn't need a new zipper in those camel-toe shorts. Disturbing.
99 bottles of booze on the wall, 99 bottles of booze, take one down, pass it around 98 bottles of booze on the wall! (and one hyper-dancing baby)

Sure wish the parents had filmed him dancing on the FLOOR and not on a table.
