VIDEO: Dance teacher becomes Facebook hero in Georgia

ATLANTA (Web Desk) - A middle school teacher found fame after a video of him dancing with pupils went viral.

The 30-second clip of Ron Clark with pupils has been viewed more than three million times on Facebook.

Clark accepted the challenge with glee, enlisting the help of several pupils to dance to a song by rapper DLow.



Clark, who is also co-founder of the Ron Clark Academy, made the video at the school where new techniques and teaching methods, such as the use of dance, are encouraged.

 

This isn’t Clark’s first time in the spotlight. He has previously appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show to discuss his teaching methods. Oprah must have been impressed as she donated $350,000 to the school in 2008.

Clark says he is not a professionally trained dancer.
