The power of the bass compels him.

A Florida priest has gone viral for busting out his dance moves. The Cardinal Gibbons High School's cheerleaders and dance team were practicing for their homecoming performance during an assembly when Father Ricardo Rivera, who works at the Fort Lauderdale school, joined them on the basketball court.

Rivera slowly walks toward the performers in his floor-length black robe before spinning around, as the beat on the remixed Darth Vader theme song drops, and dancing the routine with them, sans pompoms. The crowd goes wild.

Comedian Molusco first shared the video Oct. 26. NYC-based CBS correspondent David Begnaud then retweeted it to the tune of nearly 6,000 likes.

"The priests at my high school didn't move like this!" he captioned the 33-second video.

A school spokesman tells the Miami Herald that Rivera practiced the routine with the dance coach, but the dancers and cheerleaders didn't know he had learned the full number.
