Sometimes, the stars in the universe align and humanity is gifted a savior.

For our generation, that man is Ryan Gosling.

Video has emerged of a pre-teen Gos, donning MC Hammer pants and breaking it down during a dance recital in 1992 (the year before he joined The Mickey Mouse Club). The dance is literally called "Ryan & Company," because even then, everyone knew Ryan was the only one the audience cared about.

Of course, videos of Gosling dancing are far from new -- but there is no such thing as too much swooning when it comes to this guy.

Even he knows it.

Obviously I peaked early. Thank you @JaneChupick and twitter for the check up from the neck up.— Ryan Gosling (@RyanGosling) March 7, 2015
