Whitmer High School Teachers’ Epic “Uptown Funk” Flash Mob Dances Its Way to 13 Million Views
At Whitmer High School in Toledo, Ohio, the staff proved they’re not just educators—they’re entertainers too!
During a high-energy homecoming assembly, the school’s teachers pulled off an unforgettable flash mob dance to Bruno Mars’s smash hit “Uptown Funk”—and it quickly became a viral sensation.
The performance began with just five teachers busting out coordinated moves in the middle of the school gym.
But in true flash mob fashion, the number of dancers kept growing. First a few more joined in—then dozens more.
By the bridge of the song, the entire teaching staff was grooving in unison, joined by the school mascots and cheered on by hundreds of students.
But the biggest surprise came when local police officers jumped into the mix, adding to the excitement.
The crowd went wild when one staff member slid across the floor doing a full-on worm dance, earning roars of applause.
The video of the dance, shared on YouTube, quickly racked up over 13 million views, with viewers praising the teachers for their school spirit, energy, and sense of fun.
Many commenters said it was the kind of positivity schools—and the internet—need more of.
