WATCH: These Ballerina's Jason DeRulo Dance Moves are On Pointe Literally
Jason DeRulo is keeping these women on their toes.
A video featuring a group of ballet dancers at Chicago’s Multi-Cultural Dance Center grooving to “If It Ain’t Love” has gone viral, garnering nearly 7 million views on Brazil’s Sé Bailarinos Facebook page.
In the clip, the women all wearing pointe shoes move across the floor to the song’s upbeat tempo. The style has been dubbed hiplet, a combination of ballet and hip hop. It was originally recorded and shared to Instagram by Homer Hans Bryant, the center’s artistic director.
The women often shirk classical dance music, as seen in other videos shared by Bryant. In another recent clip, the dancers rocked out to Meghan Trainors hit single “Me Too.”

The CMDC provides dance training in an “environment that celebrates the diversity of its students and community,” according to its website. Classes range from ballet and modern, to hip-hop and tap. A non-profit organization, the CMDC was founded by Bryan 25 years ago.
