As the Tigers reveled in their victory over the Crimson Tide, Clemson defensive lineman Christian Wilkins decided to flaunt his spectacular dance moves for the camera, breaking into a split that no one could have seen coming. And his routine didn’t stop there. He also showed off some shirtless bellydancing while his team stood on stage to accept the championship trophy. See Wilkins’ amazing dancing below. > [](https://twitter.com/ESPNCFB/status/818701030015770625) > [](https://twitter.com/Nic%5FGulas/status/818712771051343872) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4630463/christian-wilkins-dance-video/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4630463/christian-wilkins-dance-video/"},"headline":"This Player's Insane Dance Moves Were the Best Part of the College Football Championship","datePublished":"2017-01-10T20:05:57.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:40:03.346Z","description":"\"too. much. sauce.\"","url":"https://time.com/4630463/christian-wilkins-dance-video/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Sports topic","College football"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan McCluskey","jobTitle":"Staff Writer","url":"https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4630463/christian-wilkins-dance-video/","name":"This Player's Insane Dance Moves Were the Best Part of the College Football Championship"}}]}] ```
