So what’s a boy to do in China when he has a bit of a weight problem and isn’t quite sure what to do? In 2015, He Xiongfei, a boy from Lyoyang, China, began taking salsa lessons initially to lose weight and get in shape. He impressed his instructors so much that he soon became an viral YouTube star.
The boy told China’s CCTV News in 2016 that he not only wanted to study Latin dancing to lose weight, but also after he “saw pretty and cool dancers from the advanced Latin dance class.” His dance teacher, Jiao Yuexing, said he became a viral YouTube sensation after one of the other instructors who filled in for her filmed him because he “was pretty hilarious.” “His facial expressions are pretty elaborate,” she said.
Now America has a chance to see the little man on hit show Little Big Shots. Steve Harvey is pumped to see him. The audience is pumped to see him. Even his translator had to laugh when the kid nicknames himself “Little Latin Dance Fattie.” I wish I was making this all up but I can assure you I am not.
Pretty sure that of all my Sunday program, this routine at least deserves a DVR recording.
Little Big Shots airs Sunday at 8/7c on NBC.
