Little Girl Channels Aretha Franklin In Her Sassy Dance To 'Respect' (Video)

by Eitan Levine

This little girl deserves an insane amount of R-E-S-P-E-C-T.

Here is everything you need to know about Johanna:

1. She is a dancer.

2. She rocks a tutu.

3. She has more attitude than the part in that song in "Dreamgirls" when Jennifer Hudson yells, “AND YOU! AND YOU! AND YOU!”

This may sound like a bit of an old man rant, but I have no idea where kids these days find the courage to do stuff like this.

When I was growing up, recitals were filled with nervous children wearing homemade outfits singing barely audible lines into microphones while fumbling over simple dance moves. Nowadays, every video I see features some adorable 5- year-old with the face of a baby but the talent and attitude of BB King.

I blame Ke$ha, the term "Vine Stars" and that lady from "Dance Moms."
