On Friday, after failing to secure a deal for Brexit, Prime Minister Theresa May offered a tearful resignation speech. But not everyone was equally as moved.

Owen Jones, a left-wing columnist for The Guardian, expressed no pity for the Conservative prime minister in a video that has since gone viral. But some folks took an entirely different route -- an interpretative dance route, if you will -- in response to May's resignation.

Here are dancers Kelsey Ellison and Mahou Shounen interpreting May's resignation speech through dance.

It's clear the artist knows how to drum up viral attention, and for good.

By and large, Twitter loved the interpretative Theresa May dance.

I encourage these dancers to start prepping for their next viral routine, "Robert Mueller testifies in front of Congress."
