This kid has really got the moves.

Eight-year-old John Philip Bughaw, better known as Balang, is a viral dancing sensation from the Philippines.

People are going wild over his latest video on Facebook, of him dancing to Ed Sheeran's Shape of You. Since it was posted less than 24 hours ago, it's racked up nearly eight million views already.

Balang hails from Bacoor, near Metro Manila, and had his first TV appearance on Ellen, after an earlier video went viral.

He most recently appeared in the U.K. TV variety show Little Big Shots:

Balang has been dancing since he was four, and taught himself by copying moves on YouTube, the Asian Journal reports.

He also attained an honorary Zumba certification by the founder of Zumba in 2016 -- a dream come true, he said.

Here's him at the Zumba Instructor Convention last year in San Diego:

Never stop grooving, Balang.
