Our afternoon guest dance instructor is Spike.

I really need Justin Bieber to watch this. I know if he sees it he will help me get discovered so I can make a difference. If you do this entire dance YOU WILL IMPROVE YOUR FITNESS! Thanks to all my fans out there and sorry that Sheryll wouldn’t cooperate with me. She has a mind of her own.

-Love, Spike
