Parents cherish capturing their child’s milestones – the first steps, sitting, talking, and standing. Yet, sometimes, these moments unfold in unexpected and delightful ways. In a side-splitting video documented by a mother and TikTok user, @amanduhlovesyou, her 14-month-old son, Declan, embarks on his walking journey. However, as the song “Blinding Lights” by The Weeknd fills the air, Declan can’t resist the groove, and his dance moves are nothing short of extraordinary.

With shoulders swaying and a firm grip on the refrigerator handle, Declan showcases his dance prowess. His spirited moves bring laughter to everyone in his vicinity.

This endearing video quickly went viral, amassing over 33 million views. Its caption, “Learning how to walk can be tough sometimes,” struck a chord with viewers. TikTok users couldn’t help but fall in love with Declan’s dance moves. One user, @jenbug1021, humorously commented, “He said, ‘I don’t walk, I dance.'” Another user, @dee_irish, quipped, “I hope they were his first steps because that was epic.”

As the video made its rounds, it caught the attention of journalist @mariashriver on Instagram, who shared it with the caption, “Why walk when you can dance? Here’s to a great weekend! Hope you’re finding a reason to move, dance, and smile! Pass it on.” The heartwarming comments poured in, with many remarking on the pure joy and spontaneity of parenthood, symbolized by Declan’s delightful dancing moments.
