YouTube success: 26 million people swoon over a two-year-old from Aarhus

His dance performance has become a great hit

More than 26 million people have seen a video of a two-year old from Aarhus dancing jive on Youtube.

The little charmer, William Stokkebroe, received more than 84,000 likes and his performance became one of the largest Danish successes on the video-sharing site.

Like father like son
Three years ago, when William’s parents posted the video, they probably did not anticipate that it would turn into such a hit.

William, now five years old, probably got his talent from his father, Peter Stokkebroe, who is a professional dancer and former world champion in sport dance.

As Vice President of Global Media & Stakeholder Communication at Novo Nordisk, she’s learned that success isn’t about assimilation. “I like to say I’m Dane-ish. More “ish” than Dane.
