Audience In A Frenzy As 60-Year-Old Teacher Nails Hip-Hop Routine

There are plenty of ideal examples for the saying “Age is just a number”. Yet, some people hesitate to pursue their dreams, held back by embarrassment or shyness. That’s why we’re excited to introduce you to Shirley Clements, an extraordinary woman who confidently showed her dance skills with the energy of a teenager.

Shirley Clements is a dedicated 60-year-old teacher from North Surrey Secondary in Canada and she is about to retire. She plans to start a new chapter teaching at a Cirque du Soleil school in Mexico. Before she said her farewells, she wanted to leave behind one last unforgettable moment.

Stepping onto the stage of the hip-hop competition she founded nearly two decades ago, Shirley joined her students for a spirited routine to Bruno Mars’ “Uptown Funk.” She didn’t just keep up — she owned every move, delivering a flawless performance that left everyone in awe.

Dressed in a pink hoody, the teacher seamlessly blended into the group of girls and they nailed every move from trust falls to the viral “Gangnam Style” horse dance. The crowd’s excitement grew, cheering louder with every twist and turn from their beloved teacher.

When the girls wrapped up their routine and stepped aside, Clements took center stage. To the crowd’s surprise, a group of boys soon joined her, moving in sync as the choreography shifted into more breakdancing.

Shirley Clements made an unforgettable impression and became one of the coolest and most inspiring teachers her students would ever encounter.
