Johanna Colón is receiving some well-earned respect for her fierce dance moves to Aretha Franklin’s iconic song.
The six-year-old dancer’s mom, Elissa Colón, filmed her daughter’s tap routine at the Heather’s Dance Inc annual recital on Sunday in Raleigh, N.C.
The video has already amassed over 34 million views in just two days.
The girl’s infectious dedication to matching Aretha Franklin’s demanding tone has made her a viral sensation.
Flanked by two dance partners, Johanna commands the audience with sharp moves and exaggerated bops.
In an interview with local news station WRAL, Johanna described her performance in a way that only a sassy six-year-old could:
“I thought I was really spicy.”
“She definitely is one of a kind,” said dance teacher Heather Fitts.
Fitts said that Johanna added her own flair to the choreography, improvising some poses that dripped with personality.
Johanna has been dancing since she was two years old and performs styles such as tap and tumbling. And according to her mother, Johanna is a stellar student as well.
