ATLANTA (AP) – An Atlanta educator is going viral for his – and his students’ – impressive dance moves.

Multiple media outlets report that Ron Clark, co-founder and middle school teacher at Ron Clark Academy, posted a video on Facebook on Monday of himself and seven students dancing to the song "Bet You Can’t Do It Like Me Challenge" by hip-hop artist DLOW.

As of early Tuesday, the 30-second video had received more than 2.3 million views. The popular song challenges listeners to do dances such as the Whip, Nae Nae and Milly Rock.

Ron Clark Academy is a nonprofit middle school located in southeastern Atlanta. Clark says teachers at the school challenge the students academically, but also like to form connections with their pupils.
