When the track plays, she wastes no time in [busting a move](https://time.com/5484237/dancing-health-benefits/) with so much enthusiasm that she uses a dish towel to really get in the groove — much to the chagrin of someone who appears to be her daughter. Which just goes to show: having a spontaneous solo dance party is easy — all you need is a squeaky oven, the right dance track, and the ability to dance like no one’s watching, even if your spectators are less than enthused. > [](https://twitter.com/camandhuddad/status/1160741888774803466) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5651874/woman-dancing-oven/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5651874/woman-dancing-oven/"},"headline":"Mom Dancing With Her Squeaky Oven Door Doesn't Need to Leave the House to Have a Great Time","datePublished":"2019-08-14T15:08:59.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:59:55.718Z","description":"Cue the music","url":"https://time.com/5651874/woman-dancing-oven/","keywords":["Newsfeed","viral"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt1dd6bb7ae48d736b/698a0155db29870ec9263f9b/mom-oven-dances-usher-yeah-video.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt1dd6bb7ae48d736b/698a0155db29870ec9263f9b/mom-oven-dances-usher-yeah-video.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Young woman opening the oven","caption":"Young woman opening the oven","creditText":"Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"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/5651874/woman-dancing-oven/","name":"Mom Dancing With Her Squeaky Oven Door Doesn't Need to Leave the House to Have a Great Time"}}]}] ```
