In this ceremonious occasion, 13-year old Jessicaโ€™s celebrating the coming of age tradition known as the bat mitzvah.

But this isnโ€™t your typical bat mitzvah.

Mike takes his daughterโ€™s hand as the song โ€œMy Girlโ€ fills the airwaves.

The audience has no choice but to be wooed by the heartfelt moment.

The duo slow dance in their way into our hearts.

But they have a few tricks up their sleeve!

In the blink of an eye, the music changes to Whitney Houstonโ€™s โ€œI Wanna Dance With Somebody!โ€

Jessica sings along while her dad just stands around slowly shaking his head.

But this is just the hilarious start of one most enjoyable father-daughter dances ever!

The duoโ€™s prepared a revolving soundtrack ahead of time.

The dancers begin to rock out to โ€œMambo No.5โ€ before Soulja Boyโ€™s โ€œCrank Thatโ€ exits the speakers.

Then, they go retro with a Jackson 5 classic.

โ€œGreased Lightningโ€ obviously makes an appearance.

Daddy Mike, whoโ€™s earned his stripes as a professional comedian, dazzles the crowd with his hilarious antics.

His inability to keep up with the music on top of lacking any semblance of dance skills ups the hilarity. And the crowd loves it.

Mikeโ€™s website describes him perfectly.

โ€œMike Hanleyโ€™s unique style of high energy, full-tilt comedy has left audiences all over erupting in laughter.โ€

That seems like an apt description.

Think the dance is over? Think again!

The two start to creep like zombies amid Michael Jacksonโ€™s โ€œThrillerโ€ before doing some hand flips to the โ€œMacarena.โ€

From performing โ€œKung Fu Fightingโ€ to jamming out with Myley Cyrus on โ€œParty In the USA,โ€ thereโ€™s no shortage of entertainment with these two showstoppers.

They cover seemingly everything in a single dance!

This memory will last Jessicaโ€™s lifetime. She has an awesome dad!

For all the work that was put in, Mike definitely deserves to be mentioned for Father of the Year!

His passion, ridiculousness, and love inspire us all to treat our children with the absolute care and respect they deserve!

Soon enough, the dance comes to an end amid the apt โ€œMy Girl.โ€
