      Facebook Post

      The same video is viral on Facebook with the caption, "This is a 23 years old television clip. It's not interesting because of the dance sequence, but for the fact that this boy is current President of France (Emmanuel Macron) and the lady dancer is his teacher and his current wife."

      The viral clip has been has been clipped from 16 seconds to 1.13 seconds timestamp. The performers in the clip are Jake Monreal, (small boy) and Jenna Johnson (young woman).

      Clip From So You Think You Can Dance Season 13

      The song to which Monreal and Johnson are dancing to is Toca Toca by Fly Project that was released in 2013.

      The episode was aired in 2016 on Season 13 of You Think You Can Dance in 2016, so the clip is not 23 years old as claimed in the viral post.
