It doesn’t matter how old our kids get, there’s nothing more special than participating in a fun activity together.

However, not many of us can say we actually danced with our teen sons – in front of an ENTIRE school. Now that would be quite memorable, don’t you think?

At Conway High School, something special happened for their Homecoming.

Everyone knows that homecoming is a big event for high schoolers, but especially seniors.

For high schools, homecoming is a way to celebrate all of the past graduates and welcome them back, usually with a football game!

On top of the welcome, there is usually a celebration and an honoring of the soon-to-be graduates.

To make this an extra-special day, the football team seniors decided to perform a dance with their moms!

At the school assembly that accompanies the celebration, the seniors wanted to plan something special.

Their idea? Busting a move with their moms, of course!

For a mom who is about to watch her little boy graduate in a few weeks, a dance to commemorate it is as touching as it gets.

The entire dance is choreographed to good music and it’s a blast to watch!

As the song “We Will Rock You” by Queen played, the entire auditorium started clapping.

As they clapped, the moms started walking out to the center of the court with their football sons in tow.

Reaching the middle of the court, they gathered together and started the next section.

With a quick music change and some crouching moves, the song Lip Gloss starts playing.

It’s time for the moms to shine!

Now, there is a bit more of a beat for all the moms to stomp and dance to.

In a flash, Blanco Brown’s “Git Up” takes over and the boys get involved.

With the new song, the senior boys all rush out with their moms and even dance for a second.

Surely all the students in the crowd were loving it. I mean, it’s not too often you see the football team cutting a rug with their mothers!

After some twirling, it’s time for the football players to take the spotlight.

The moms leave the “stage,” and the boys get their own solo moment doing the “Git Up” challenge.

The football players do their best to swing around and two-step to the country dance song.

You can’t help but laugh, but honestly, they do a pretty good job!

Then, it gets real.

As sirens go off and the crowd cheers, the moms all come back out in blue hoodies that match the school colors.

With a big bass drop and a quick head nod, the entire mom/senior group sways back and forth to the beat.

Over and over, the music switches up, inviting more creativity from the moms and the seniors.

With the sheer volume of music displayed, you know that they spend hours practicing all the songs!

In one final crowd-cheering moment, the football players get a chant about their school going and group up in the middle.

It’s time to get excited about the big game!

You can be sure that with this many moms around, there will be orange slices aplenty at the football game.
