Every morning, principal Zhang Pengfei leads around 700 pupils in a synchronised dance routine, and the internet absolutely loves it.

Here’s a happy story to perk up your Thursday.

A primary school principal in north China has become a YouTube celebrity after a video, which has received more than 250 million views across Chinese social media, was released showing him busting some serious moves with his students.

Every morning, 40-year-old principal Zhang Pengfei at the Xi Guan Primary School in Linyi county, Shanxi province, leads about 700 pupils on the playground in a synchronised ‘ghost shuffle’ routine, reports the Daily Mail.

Check it out:

Zhang Pengfei started the morning dance sessions when he became concerned that students weren’t getting enough exercise. He wanted them to move away from the computer and get active.

He gets added points for joining in and choreographing the dance.

Definitely a contender for coolest principal of the week.
