This Dancing Park Ranger Gave Me What I Needed

The internet is good for certain things and one of them is to expose us to fun people everywhere. The video below is actually old by internet popularity standards because it came out months ago but I watched it again and it brought me so much joy that I wanted to share it with y’all.

According to the description of the vid, these men are California Conservation Corps members (I’ma call em park rangers). Antwon and Leonard were getting their dance on when their boss John came through and bust ALL the moves. Watch this video and get your life!

LIFE. HAS. BEEN. GIVEN!!! I love how he got himself ready with a couple of bounces to feel the music. Then he came through and hit his jigs something proper that he ended up with Antwon or Leonard hanging on to him in a dragging hug.

And the glee I felt all in my heart! Chile… who knew he had all that in him? My man body rolled, twerked a lil, and then hit his pop lock and finished it with a drop down. WHOOOOO!!! I am HERE for him!

So awesome! I’ve watched this video so many times that I lost count.

And in case you need a GIF, here it is:

park-ranger.

Look at his serious face. I. LIVE!!! YYESSSSSSSSSS!!!!!! I love this so much! GET IT, John!

What do you think about John’s moves?

Learn more about John and the work they do for the environment in this ABC feature. Turns out, he’s been dancing since he was little. I love it.

    He didn’t tell the young’uns he used to be oart of a dance troupe when he was younger. He let them think they were showing him something and then bust it out.

    It’s now saved on phone & iPad as one of my Go To YouTube videos. Thanks.

    I chuckled the hardest at the dragging bear hug. They didn’t expect that floor drop.
