Kid videobombs news report with epic dance moves: Internet melts

While southern parts of the United States are currently contending with the implications of recent floods, it looks like the carefree attitude of one young boy in Baton Rouge has done much to raise the spirits of countless residents.

Appearing behind a news correspondent reporting on the issue, the youngster can be seen throwing some serious shapes, and social media users have really taken him to their hearts.

In a move not often seen during live broadcasts, neither the correspondent nor the cameraman requested that the child remove himself from the shot, but instead treated viewers to almost two minutes of some pretty slick moves.

Uploading the footage to Facebook, WMC Action News 5 paid tribute to the child and drew on the words of one Baton Rouge resident when captioning the video.

"Perhaps a man in Baton Rouge summed it up best when he posted this clip to his own Facebook page, "Was feeling kind of down, then he popped up on my screen and reminded me that no matter what you're going through to just keep on smiling and dancing," they wrote.

"Something's wrong if you didn't just love this kid. I'm in the midst of this historic flood and I loved him," wrote one Facebook user while another insisted: "I'm sorry but not only is he bringing joy but he's bringing a sense of strength to a bad situation."

"I'm working on getting a tractor trailer of goods to the area to help and this kid brought a smile to push me harder to make that happen," they added.

Watch this, and try not to crack a smile…
