“I have not kept track of the hours but I bet I average about 4-6 hours per 10 seconds of show, the show is 11 minutes long so around 450 to 650 hours," Matt Johnson told BuzzFeed News.

Matt said he first started doing the show “because it made my kids happy but now it is because it makes all the kids (and their parents) happy."

"I love seeing people’s faces as they watch the show and kids dancing in the street. Our show is very different, very upbeat, it is like a dance party in front of our house,” he said.
The Johnsons are also aiming to raise $10,000 to help build a clean water well in a village in Africa this Christmas season. To help donate to the cause, visit their landing page.
