Video: Denver Officer Gets Into Epic Break-Dance Battle with Young Boy

An officer with the Denver Police Department was captured on mobile phone video engaging in a dance-off with a third-grade boy over the weekend, and the video quickly went viral on social media.

Officer Thanaret Phuvapaisalkij said that the boy—Jayden Marquez—initially approached him to take a photo with his patrol motorcycle but then demonstrated some of his dance moves, reports KDVR .

Phuvapaisalkij—known to most as PJ—responded with a demonstration of his own dancing abilities.

Jayden's mom—Vanessa Marquez—said, "We see a lot of negative things out there in the media about police and all kinds of shootings, so this is something that makes you smile."
