This is the moment a crying, grumpy child who had just been woken up from a nap pulls off crazy breakdancing moves when he is forced to show off his skills.

And the six-year-old stole the show at the dance competition, causing the audience to gasp in awe as he pulls off increasingly complex and challenging moves.

The footage was filmed at the Hip Hop dance competition in Yuncheng, in China’s Shanxi province, with local media reporting that the audience was left stunned.

The images show hip-hop music playing in the background as the showrunner walks the crying boy to the middle of the dancefloor after his mother reportedly reportedly woke him up from sleeping.

Just as it appears as though he is about to collapse from all the crying and throw in the towel, he suddenly breaks into some mad dance moves

Online commentators like ‘Kahoyuumi’ said: “Wow, you can do this trick even though you are still sleepy? So awesome.”

And user ‘Afufu With A Round Head Should Always Be Cute’ said: “Today’s kids are very dedicated and responsible. Since they have signed up to perform, they have to finish the performance even if they cry.”

While the user ‘Sunny Surplus’ said: “So cute, the kid’s hip-hop dance is so good.”
