South Africa’s 'Klein Kwagga' continues to steal hearts across the world with his smooth dance moves.
You might remember the eight-year-old, full name Dirkco Jansen van Nieuwenhuizen, from his viral school dance video last year.
He danced to the popular Afrikaans song ‘Lyfie’ by Bernice West at his sister’s dance concert.
While there were other kids on stage, there is no doubt that Kwagga stole the show.
The viral video saw Kwagga appear on the Kelly Clarkson Show in the US after capturing the singer’s attention.
During the show’s ‘What I’m Liking’ segment, Clarkson played the viral video and spoke to the youngster.
“Kwagga, you have no idea how much joy you have brought me… You are my favourite ‘What I’m Liking’ I’ve had on my show,” she told him.
At the end of the segment, Clarkson gave Kwagga $1000 (about R19 000) thanks to one of the show’s sponsors.
