Have you ever heard the saying, “Perhaps they should stick to their day job?” That applies when someone tries to do something outside of their skillset. For instance, a dentist who’s great with patients but not so much with hip-hop dancing.

So, who is this guy?

His name is Dr. Rich Constantine and he’s a dentist who practices in Greenville, South Carolina. This all started when his coworkers encouraged him to get involved with the “Shiggy Challenge.” All he had to do was dance on video to the song “In My Feelings” by Drake.

The video went viral

There are two reasons this particular video reached almost one million views. For one thing, Dr. Constantine is easy on the eyes. Okay, we’ll just say it like it is…he’s hot. Also, his dancing is downright hilarious. By the way, this dentist is happily married to his wife Trish.

All for fun

If this dentist didn’t have such a good sense of humor, we’re not convinced he would’ve performed. But you know, when everyone’s pushing you to do…you have to. And women across the country are so glad he did…again, he’s hot.

Getting things started

At the start of the video, Dr. Constantine gives this sideways glance at the camera he’d set up in the hallway. You can almost hear him thinking, “Am I really going to do this? What in the world did they talk me into?”

Ah…so cute

With Drake’s song playing in the background, this dentist begins to sway his body and move his hips. Then out of nowhere, he makes the most adorable heart-shape using his hands. We don’t know about you but we don’t think that goes with hip-hop music.

For his next move…

As he sways backward, he begins to do crazy movements with his arms. We’re not even sure that’s a dance move. But he’s super cute so he gets a pass.

What in the heck was that?

Not too far into the video, Dr. Constantine does another arm thing that we can’t quite figure out. It’s as though he’s swatting away a fly in super slow motion. He must’ve thought it was cool because after doing it with his right arm, he does with his left.

Marching orders

Later in the video, this dentist begins marching while taking tiny steps forward. At this point, it becomes obvious that hip-hop dancing isn’t his thing. But he gets credit for trying. And honestly, no one’s complaining, especially the ladies.

He’s having a blast

If nothing else, at least Dr. Constantine is having fun. And he’s a really good sport. Typically, the Shiggy Challenge involves people getting out of their vehicles to dance to this Drake song in the middle of the street. But to keep things safe, the staff at the dental clinic modified it.

The comments flooded in

So how, people know that Dr. Constantine isn’t the best dancer. But the whole thing is so funny it doesn’t matter. Everyone loved it anyway and appreciated the distraction his looks provided. One poster said, “That moment when you break a tooth on purpose to see a dentist this fine.”
