This teacher at Whitney Young Magnet High School couldn't beat the shenanigans, so he joined them.The YouTube user who posted the video wrote [Via Reddit]:

What started out as a small prank (foot-working in front of random people after school) turned into a party on Whitney Young's 2nd floor the minute Mr."Thirst Gawd" Fanning decided to be the first person to strike back.

The Sun-Times identified the dancing teacher as John Fanning, the dean of students at Whitney Young High School. “Like every other kid who grew up in Rogers Park in the ‘70s and ‘80s, I went to dance classes after church,” he said. Fanning has an interview planned with Good Morning America in the coming days. In the meantime, enjoy the videos below.
