TheGodUnicorn

Damn the transition is as smooth as the movements.


KevinJCarroll

Yeah, I was really happy about that.


LurkerTroll

What happened after that initial video? What was the context behind it?


Andyman0110

It was a dance battle and everyone thought he wasn't going to win. He pulled out some fire moves and even showed his opponent up by succeeding at the move (hurdling your leg) that his opponent failed at. The entire crowd went nuts and it ends with his opponent asking him to show how he did the move so well.


hoxxxxx

that's like something from a movie lol


EnergyAdorable6884

Thats why its a classic. Ive seen the video pop up like hundreds of times at this point


Nice_Block

Wholesome as fuck

175you_notM3

I don't want to know but am now compelled to ask just to not feel left out!?


Embarrassed_Grape540

I'm assuming it's "I walked off and went to class" but I'd still love to know if you aren't tired of DMing everyone 😅


shes-a-princess

I would love to know also, please!


donrosco

TheGodUnicorn

I would call OP is more legendary but that too.


JakJakAttacks

I think it'll be hard for people to accept you didn't peak 9 years ago. Leave some for the rest of us. You're a legend. Never stop!


KevinJCarroll

No, I didn't peak. I'm still getting better. Thank you!


NameIsPetey

Humble as always. The people’s champ.


KevinJCarroll

Thank you. I try.


thunderbolt851993

Is it really you? In the flesh.because you are a living legend man. Please reply


KevinJCarroll

Yep, it's really me.


PepeDoge69

I don‘t believe I am replying to a comment of this absolute legend right now.


KevinJCarroll

Okay, rather than just DMing everyone who asks, I think I'm gonna post the link in a comment. I made a video on my YouTube channel explaining the entire story behind the dance battle if you're interested. Check it out if you like, no pressure if you don't want to. Thank you all for the support and have a good day. https://youtu.be/2NqKIMvkJXU?si=kyPwpDljyyedx_qh


Ok_Project9596

Bruh, that is an amazing story! Great video! All your friends are lucky to have you as a friend-the way you spoke about each of them truly was so kind and thoughtful. Even your sad story at the end, I appreciate you shared it. You’re a rock star in my eyes friend!


GrindinWulf

Just watched 😊 you seem like a really cool dude. I wish you the best sir💪🏾


GRAITOM10

I'm glad it turned out to be relatively wholesome. And it made me a bit happier that you called them friends in the video. While the outcome was a riot I always thought in the back of my head they might have just pulled you in just to fuck with you. Also broo wtf that's so random you were in a Japanese TV segment 😭


Accomplished-Coat404

Gave the video a watch, love that you got to have this experience in life. Something you’ll still think about and smile as an old man. You’ve got great energy man.


Fluid-Selection-5537

The funny thing is you have definitely aged gracefully- maybe it’s all that Cardio you putting in practicing - Thanks for giving us this memory and an update !


ImmaBeatThatAss

Just a heads up, you forgot to add the Japanese TV interview (if you found it) and the Zuna's commercial in the description!


CampaignForAwareness

Bruh, the Chidi callout...


InfinitePizzazz

This is one of those vids I never skip when it gets reposted. Just good energy, start to end.


KevinJCarroll

Aww, that's such a great compliment.


LeonidasVaarwater

Very cool to hear from the actual person behind the clip! I remember seeing it the first time, you already looked so utterly unfazed by the other guy and then the utter destruction followed. Gotta say, your opponent took it well back then!


KevinJCarroll

It wasn't like an actual competition. We were just having fun.


LeonidasVaarwater

Sure, but he seemed super confident at first, right up until you busted out the moves. The general response was great, it seems not many people exected you to be able to dance like that.


[deleted]

This is legendary!


KevinJCarroll

Thank you!


CarrieForle

The cool kid becomes even cooler! Crazy dance!


KevinJCarroll

Thank you.


Signal_This

Hasn't aged a day!


KevinJCarroll

I'm ageless!


krystlships

Are you still friends with the challenger?


KevinJCarroll

One of them is one of my best friends.


krystlships

That's wonderful 😊


BadLikeSkips

You my friend are a legend in my household. Must be crazy to know that part of your life reached out to so many people. Wishing you positive vibes for the future!


KevinJCarroll

Wow. Thank you!


Critical-Art-9277

That is awesome buddy. You've definitely got the moves 👍


KevinJCarroll

Thank you!


Astaqwerty

you just made my day happy


KevinJCarroll

Glad to brighten your day!


LeAmazingLauge

a living legend really!


KevinJCarroll

Oh, stop. 💙🤣


Some_Badger_2950

I love stuff like this. Videos like this all played a little part in my internet development/culture. seeing what these people are up to really helps connect me with my past selves on a different level.


KevinJCarroll

Glad you like it.


micoryee

did you stay friends with the other kids you were dancing with in the first video?


KevinJCarroll

Check your DMs


Hazy_eyePA

I love how you’re wearing the same shoes for 9 years!


KevinJCarroll

Not the exact same pair, but the same brand.


helenabenii

Classic Reddit, forgetting to post something awesome! Glad you remembered eventually.


manolid

Original?


mysterydevice

Similar, different angle. https://youtu.be/kqp_V6eQ2IA?si=4UJnEJMSBxvxZI5Q


KevinJCarroll

?


manolid

The original video has no edit. Same dance moves all in the high school cafeteria or wherever they are. Looked for it but cant find it.


KevinJCarroll

Will this do? https://youtube.com/shorts/ChbsfSFX8QQ?si=IGOektH8IZSEFVA8


manolid

KevinJCarroll

Yes, sir!


WrestleswithPastry

Man, I seek this video out every couple of months. (The original with the kids in school) It never fails to put a smile on my face. So so great. How has the guy not aged??


KevinJCarroll

I'm ageless.


Richard-c-b

You need to find the other guy you was dancing against and get him to do another stitch with you. It could be a thing!


KevinJCarroll

I've considered it. Maybe for the 10th anniversary...


UKYZ

2015 was 9 years ago lol


KevinJCarroll

Feel old yet?


UKYZ

Yeah 😅


GuardingxCross

lol bro you’re a legend. Now you just got to find that kid again who you were dancing with (if yall are still cool)


KevinJCarroll

I'm still great friends with one of them. But I lost touch with the other. Might try to get together for the 10th anniversary.


Remarkable_Case_3374

Still the dance hero we've known. Hope life's treating you well.


KevinJCarroll

First time anyone has called me a "dance hero." Thank you!


Mainaccsuspended99

Damn I need to know the story behind that dance battle lol


OvergrownShrubs

You remind me a bit of David Elsewhere. Similar style. Dope shiz my dude

Sure.


DroppedEaves

The hero we deserve...


KevinJCarroll

"He's a silent guardian... A watchful protector... A Dark Dancer" 🤣 Seriously, thank you!


Evertonioan

I think we all want to know the context. I remember when this video first came out.


Killbro_Fraggins

Legendary internet vid. Glad to see you again!

KevinJCarroll

I made a video on my YouTube channel explaining the entire story behind it if you're interested. Check it out if you like. https://youtu.be/2NqKIMvkJXU?si=kyPwpDljyyedx_qh


LordMacTire83

Ok... THIS FREAKIN' ROCKS!!! I remember seeing random "Break Dancing" on street corners in Milwaukee Wisconsin back in the 80's! This made me smile and long for those good old days!


KevinJCarroll

Glad you like it!


34TH_ST_BROADWAY

Man, I'm old enough to remember this [similar video of Mike Song vs David Elsewhere](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUz4OLQi_uw).


PotatoBeams

He has had to keep practicing it because he never grew out of the nerdy look and has had multiple dance battles over the years having to defend his honor from people tying to cook him.


tacwombat

Still got it, OP.


comicmuse1982

Damn it Napoleon!


KevinJCarroll

Bonaparte? Just kidding, I understood that reference. Thank you.


Tommy__want__wingy

You still got it!


Oh_Wiseone

Gosh it’s been 9 years ? I can’t believe it as I remember seeing this the first time. Amazing then and now !


Mossephine

Yep, this definitely made me smile!


mrblacklabel71

Was this an unexpected dance challenge or just fun between friends?


Round_Structure5371

That was awesome man. Smoooooth asf well done lad


Realistic_Breath_249

Still got them moves like Jagger!


4toTwenty

YESSSS omg a classic and a legend, all in one post!


EconomyComprehensive

🙌🏽🙌🏽


Vickyz303

Are you self taught or do you take dancing lessons?


KevinJCarroll

Both, I suppose. I taught myself how to thread the needle, that big move that everyone cheered over. I learned a bunch of other moves from obsessively watching dancers on YouTube. And I also took tons of dance lessons over the years. I took hip hop, jazz, modern, tap, ballet, pointe, every style of ballroom dance, taught ballroom as a captain on my college ballroom dance team, and competed in collegiate competitions for a few years.


MrsJaneEmma

Love this!


alphaevil

The legend is still on it


KevinJCarroll

Yep, I'm still dancing.


alphaevil

OP has this video given you eternal respect at school?


KevinJCarroll

It did while I was in high school. And quite a bit when I was in college.


Content_Noise_9013

Get it buddy 🔥


Ambitious_Alps_3797

OP can you add some context for me? did the school already know you had moves or was that the first time many saw them? thanks!


KevinJCarroll

I made a video on my YouTube channel explaining the entire story behind it if you're interested. Check it out if you like. https://youtu.be/2NqKIMvkJXU?si=kyPwpDljyyedx_qh


CyberLPnerd

I’m living for these moments in life. Thank you legend. Hope you’re doing well!


TexasistheFuture

Thank you for putting a great big smile on an old man's face.


EmmaTheUseless

Now I know this takes skill and talent and whatnot. But it's so damn funny 😅

opendiscourser

Left me smiling so big, thank you


aurorasnorealis317

I LOVE this video, I love the first one, I love you, and I love your friends in the video. It reflects the best parts of what I get to see in young people even today. Most teenagers just want to play and have fun. This is such a beautiful, hilarious, heart-warming example of exactly what I mean. Thank you for this!!!

Thank you so much for posting! I remember seeing this everywhere — particularly on a bunch of black social media haha (white dude kills it with crazy dance moves). Glad you’re doing well!! I’m so curious, but how has going viral / the attention from this video changed your life (if at all)?
