Kayallah was hired by The Spot, a lively sports bar and restaurant in Atlanta, Georgia. After acing her interview, she celebrated her success right in the parking lot.

“I told her, ‘I’m going to hire you,’ and when I saw your happy dance, I wanted you to keep dancing,” Spence recalled. “Kayallah was screaming with joy on the phone. It was such a beautiful moment!”
Massive Reach
Her dance video took off, amassing over 1.2 million views on Instagram and 1.5 million on TikTok and Twitter. Spence shared the footage, showing how Kayallah first looked around to ensure no one was watching. After her dance, she casually walked away as if nothing had happened.
It’s easy to understand how stressful life can be without a job. The COVID-19 pandemic made this even harder for many people. Kayallah’s dance perfectly captured her joy in this new chapter.
Watch the Magic!
Kayallah’s video went viral, garnering millions of views across social media platforms. As the “Happy Dance” became a sensation, she and Spence were interviewed by journalist Jamie Kennedy. When asked how others can join in on the fun, Kayallah said, “Dance anytime you feel happy! Whether you get a blessing, a great opportunity, or have worked hard for something, just let it out!”
Creating Opportunities
Spence was deeply moved by Kayallah’s energy and positivity. People from around the world praised Spence for her decision, affirming that she won’t regret it. One entrepreneur even remarked that creating opportunities for those in need is a privilege.
In an interview, Kayallah even showed viewers how to do her now-famous dance!
