The audience scoffed as five dads shuffled onto the stage, joking amongst themselves that they’d probably need an ambulance to patch up their aching backs after this. They whispered that the performance was bound to be a laugh, a cringe-worthy attempt at youthful glory. But then, the music dropped, and just ten seconds in, the dads unleashed a dance routine that had jaws dropping and hearts racing. Every step was sharp, every move full of energy and surprise. The audience gasped, eyes wide with shock and delight, while the judges screamed in excitement, unable to believe what they were witnessing.

When you’re young, you feel like nothing can stop you. You think that anything is possible. But as you grow old, and you have your own family and work and responsibilities, you get a reality check. That is what the dance group, Daditude, said before right before their audition on America’s Got Talent. The group, made up of five dads, was there to show they still had magic in them.

Everyone in the group is former dancers. But that was two decades ago. While they were not as nimble as they were back in the day, they still gave a breathtaking performance to the smash hit song, “Uptown Funk” by Bruno Mars and Mark Ronson. They really won the crowd over! Even the judges were really impressed, and gave them the thumbs-up!
