An American school's dance video tribute to Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars' No 1 hit Uptown Funk has gone viral, racking up more than seven million YouTube views in less than a week.
The video sees theatre arts teacher Scot Pankey dancing through the corridors with his students at A. Maceo Smith New Tech High School in Dallas and it's even had approval from Bruno Mars!

Pankey heard “Uptown Funk” over Christmas break, and fell in love with the upbeat dance tune. As the school’s director and theater arts teacher, Pankey instantly knew what he wanted his students to shake off the holiday funk of returning to school.

“I love Bruno Mars. We are a project-based school instead of having lectures. I said for our next project I want the students to get ready, and we would need to dance. We are a tech school so to get them up dancing was a feat in itself. I have the best students in the world. I was hoping we would post on YouTube on Sunday, so their parents and friends would see it, and you would maybe 1,000 clicks and instead we have 400,000 in 48 hours.”
