Notre Dame student Henry Long took the dramatic dance — originally performed by 12-year-old Maddie Ziegler — and really made it his own. He prances all over campus in a tutu, leotard and wig, showing up on the quad and in various campus buildings. He totally commits to his craft — and everyone reacts with a mix of delight and amusement and, most of all, sheer confusion. Long doesn’t _quite_ nail the moves quite like Ziegler, but we really admire his commitment.
