Ed Sheeran’s New Backup Dancer

It’s a well known fact that kids are the best dancers, and here’s a 6-year-old to prove it.

6-year-old Joseph’s mom, Michelle Nicol, posted some videos of her son tearing it up at an Ed Sheeran concert in Manchester, England on June 11th. While he dances his little heart out to “Shape of You” and “Bad Habits”, a very supportive crowd circles around him to cheer him on. It’s the wholesome content we’re looking for.

On Monday, Ed Sheeran HQ took notice and tweeted, “Think it’s about time Ed gets a backup dancer.” Nicol says she told Joseph that Ed had seen the video and he responded with, “Yes! So when am I gonna go start working for Ed?”

Not soon enough, Joseph. Not soon enough.
