A young Semiahmoo Peninsula athlete showed off some pretty impressive dance moves last month at the Canada Sevens rugby tournament in Vancouver 鈥� and tournament organizers have the video to prove it.
On Thursday afternoon, the Canada Sevens official posted a video of a fan joining 鈥� and, in the end, upstaging 鈥� a paid performer dancing on the steps inside Vancouver鈥檚 BC Place during the tournament, which ran March 10-11.
Sometimes the best moments are unscripted. In sport and life.

The original tweet from the Canada Sevens account called Gendall鈥檚 impromptu dance routine 鈥渙ne of our favourite moments鈥� of the two-day event, and declared that 鈥淪ometimes, the best moments are unscripted. In sport and in life.鈥�
As of 9 a.m. Friday, the original video had more than 5,200 views and the tweet had been liked nearly 300 times.
