At the end of the school day, all of the preschoolers in Joanna Marie Berte Sobremisana’s classroom were ready to blow off some steam.
The Iloilo City, Philippines school teacher says her kids were begging to hear the K-Pop song “Boom Boom” by Momoland, so she put on the poppy dance track and and started recording. All of her students were busting out their best dance moves, but one little boy stood out from the crowd.

Ilyam’s mother is their town’s police superintendent, Sally Manuel. She says her son has been dancing up a storm since he was one year old — before he could walk he was already feeling the beat and shaking his little hips like he was born to do so!
