Tiny dancer: Possibly the world's smallest samba dancer struts his stuff


The internet is littered with footage of babies dancing, usually shot by adoring parents who think their child's jig is the best.

But a proud Brazilian mother might be able to lay claim to having the coolest kid on the planet - and she has the video evidence to prove it.

The nappy-wearing toddler has become a YouTube hit with his remarkably grown up dance moves, seemingly copying famous hip swivellers such as Elvis Presley and John Travolta from Pulp Fiction.


International hit: The YouTube clip has been seen by more than 500,000 people


Standing on a table in his family home, the tiny dancer gets straight into the swing of things with a trademark rockstar pose - nodding to the beat, pointing to an imaginary crowd and even doing classic pelvic thrusts.

He segues into the Twist and then into something that looks like the dance favoured by Bez from the Happy Mondays.



Famous moves: At one point the baby emulates the famous dance moves of John Travolta in Pulp Fiction


Astonishingly, he then forms his fingers into a V sign and drags them across his eyes - echoing the dance scene between Travolta and Uma Thurman in Pulp Fiction.

The 2min 54sec clip has been watched by more than 500,000 people and has already spawned a number of YouTube 'remixs'. [endtext]
