SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA: An eight-year-old California boy has gone viral for his incredible dance moves during his elementary school's winter concert. "I was feeling the vibe," said Jaden Williams after his video of performing alongside his classmates, garnered more than 20 million views. 

Jaden's viral moves that the 8-year-old seems to have struck from TikTok dances became an internet sensation after it was posted by a classmate's mother who was taken away by his stunning performance. The mother even tagged the San Francisco 49ers, the football team whose logo was shown on Jaden's clothes, and hash-tagged the viral video "dance machine." Interestingly, the viral video caught the attention of the football team and they left a sweet message for the little dancer writing, "Ok Jaden!! We see you!" Jaden's family members added that he aspires to become a professional football player one day and hopes to meet his favorite 49ers, Nick Bosa and Deebo Samuel.

"I just started dancing," said The Bay Area elementary school student Jaden in an interview. "I was feeling the vibe," reported ABC 7. " Jaden added, he had been super excited for the concert and couldn't wait to show his friends, and family his performance. "I was so excited to do that. I would tell Miss Harrington, my music teacher, 'When is the concert going to start?' I was so happy."

"His classmate's mother actually posted it on her Instagram and it kind of took off, and she had tagged tag my wife to it," said Kirk Williams, Jaden's father. "It just started going viral from there," Kirk said. His video was filled with comments, with actor Jermaine Crawford writing, "Jaden is a star," reported Daily Mail. "Jaden is me. He said let’s add some razzle dazzle to this," said another user. "When he grows up he’s going to be that uncle that makes the barbecue lit," responded another. 

However there were a few users who criticized Jaden for stealing the show, but the eight's parents had his back and said, "I’ve read the comments and for those that think Jaden is selfish or not respectful to his classmates you don’t know Jaden," said Jaden's mother Yanira William. "He has a kind soul, full of joy, and embraces all of his classmates everyday at school. His personality is big, which is an understatement like his father; Kirk! I wish all of you happy holidays and love!
