So who is this little dancing queen? Her name is Baylor Mooney. She's 2 years old and lives in Nevada, according to an ABC affiliate in Reno. Her mom, Brooke Mooney, initially recorded the video to share with family and friends on Facebook, but everyone urged her to share with a wider audience — and the suggestion paid off. In addition to social media, the video has been shared on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," "The Today Show" and "Good Morning America."
"I never, never thought. I mean I didn't have friends or followers if you would," Mooney told the outlet, adding that Baylor and her little brother, Krew, get their wicked dance skills from her. Uncle Fowler posted a follow-up clip of his nephew getting groovy, too.
