When Aretha starts playing, every self-respecting lady knows that you have to bring it.

This little dancer named Johanna wasn't about to hold back during a dance recital number, tributing the Queen of Soul. Johanna's attitude and finger-wavin' sass pretty much stole the show from her fellow performers, but that didn't stop this pint-sized powerhouse from helping her team stay to the beat. Even Miss Franklin would be proud.

Johanna's mother posted the cute video on Facebook, where it garnered over 9 million views in 24 hours. She also gave her daughter a shoutout for making good grades, showing us that Johanna truly is a force to be reckoned with.
