In a recent visit to a school, UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer found himself in an unexpected situation involving a dance routine. Head teacher Jo Anderson informed him that the dance was actually prohibited at the school.
As Starmer exited the classroom, he described the experience as being “a bit wild.” He quickly apologized to Anderson, saying, “I didn’t start it, Miss.” This light-hearted moment was captured and shared by Starmer on Instagram, where he humorously remarked, “I think I just got myself put in detention…”
Viral Dance Sensation
The dance Starmer participated in is linked to the phrase “6-7,” which has surged in popularity among Generation Alpha. This catchy term and its accompanying dance moves have captured the attention of young students across the UK.
Impact on Schools
