Officer Ryan Tillman, a well-loved school resource officer at Don Lugo High School in California, found a unique way to bid farewell to the students.
Having built strong relationships during his time at the school, Tillman was set to leave his position after earning a promotion to Chino Police Corporal.
But instead of a typical emotional goodbye, Tillman opted for something more memorable.
Working alongside the schoolโs principal and dance team, Officer Tillman arranged a surprise dance performance during a school assembly.
Speaking to NBC Los Angeles about his decision, he said,
โI wanted to make a big exit, so I thought, what better way than to dance?โ
He wasnโt just saying goodbyeโhe was making a lasting impression with a lighthearted, unforgettable moment.
As the assembly began, the excitement in the gymnasium grew as Tillman joined the dance students on stage. When Lil Mamaโs โLip Glossโ started playing, the dance kicked off.
While it might seem unusual for a police officer to dance in front of high school students, Officer Tillman showed that he was more than just an officerโhe had moves!
The students erupted in cheers as Tillman showcased his dance abilities.
Another school resource officer commented, commending Tillmanโs courage:
โIโm also an SRO, but I could NEVER get up in front of staff and students to dance. Kudos to you for doing it. Many people donโt realize the balance SROs must strike with young people at their schools.โ
The performance didnโt end there.
Midway through the routine, the music shifted to MC Hammerโs โU Canโt Touch This,โ and Tillman took the audience back in time, pulling off iconic 90s dance moves.
