VIDEO: Six-Year-Old Dances to Aretha Franklin’s Respect and OWNS It

Johanna, we salute you!

Cathy Donohue

Aretha Franklin’s Respect is a classic tune and we simply have to throw a few shapes whenever we hear it.

That said, we’re nowhere near as good as Johanna, a six-year-old girl, whose dance routine has gone viral over the last couple of days

Last Saturday night, Johanna performed in a dance recital at her North Carolina  school with her friends and their performance received a standing ovation from the 400 people watching.

Her mother Elissa Colon posted the video to Facebook and YouTube but said that she didn’t expect it to get such a huge reaction.

“I posted it for family and friends because we’re originally from New York, and I did not expect it to take off like this”.
