Meet 8-year-old Akshat Singh, your new spirit animal/dance-piration/celebrity crush if you are also 8-years-old. Now watch his incredible INCREDIBLE dance routine on India's Got Talent.

Full disclosure: The YouTube video is called "Fat Indian Kid Dance" which is dismissive of the fact that Singh's routine—a medley of tracks from the Bollywood movies of Salman Khan—is more than just a dance, it's art. Also, calling a little kid fat is just mean. C'mon, grown ups.

We love Akshat. We love that he looks vaguely like the kid from Up. And we love his moves. 

Especially...

When he plays himself like a guitar.

When he belly dances for the judges.

When he drops into the splits.

And then picks it up, flips it and reverses it into the splits in a headstand.

GIFs don't even do Akshat's dance justice. Because when you watch the whole thing, not only do you get an homage to Bollywood movies, but there's also dashes of Mean Girls (his parents doing the choreography in the wings) and Little Miss Sunshine (So. Much. Hip. Thrusting from an 8-year-old).

Basically, we're the lady on the right.
