Johanna Colon, 6, channels Aretha Franklin for show stealing dance routine | Daily Mail Online



A six-year-old girl channeled her inner Aretha Franklin for an amazing dance performance set to the legendary diva's hit Respect during her end of year recital.

Elissa Colón from Raleigh, North Carolina, proudly filmed her daughter Johanna's tap dance routine over the weekend, as she watched on while the little girl stole the show with her sassy moves, oozing attitude worthy of diva Aretha herself.

I actually thought the funniest part was Johanna calling in her costar for a final bow. Since that wasn't rehearsed it shows her natural aggressiveness.

Including when they were about to exit the stage and the girl to the left of her was slow in turning to walk off...she nudged her a bit to get going. She is something else! I don't watch Ellen but I hear she asks guests in that nature to appear on her show.

That was the GREATEST show I have seen in a VERY long time! (I loved how she strutted off stage, too!)

Btw, kudos to her parents for making sure she has an outlet for her creativity, especially since I read in the link that she must spend a lot of time in the hospital because of her brother's illness.
