In six minutes, Anrauer twisted, shimmied and danced his way through decades of music. His performance is becoming a hit on YouTube.

It was a hit with his students too.

"He's amazing, everyone loved it. All the kids were like this is a great principal," said Ashleigh Kingsmore, a student.

When Anrauer was asked how he knew all the different styles of dance he said that he been to a lot of weddings, birthday parties and barmitzfas.

The 38-year-old principal isn't worried that his students might not take him seriously. He says they know he cares about their future.

"If the students have a connection with you and they know you take their education seriously and you care about them as people, grades and their behavior and social development . I think if you have that respect you can pretty much act as silly as you want," said Anrauer.

The talent show in the end was a hit and raised $2,000 dollars for charity.
