You don’t have to be a professional to enjoy dancing. It’s a fun activity regardless of your skill level – and the beauty of it is you can do it anytime, anywhere. Frankly, all you need to do is crank the radio to turn your living room into a dance club.
One pet mom decided to shake things up and do “the twist” in her kitchen. But what makes her filmed performance even better is that she has the perfect audience – her big adorable dog!
The video is so sweet it’s spreading smiles across the internet.
Jonna Jinton may reside in a tiny village in Sweden, but she has fans around the world.
The blonde beauty is a photographer, artist, and blogger. She’s also gifted when it comes to the ancient practice of “kulning,” a Swedish herding call that’s haunting to listen to.

In fact, Jinton shares videos online where she demonstrates this unique ability.
Jinton is well-known for connecting with nature. Apparently, she likes to dance too!
One of Jinton’s videos that has millions of views comes straight from her kitchen. While washing dishes the song “Let’s Twist Again” begins to play – prompting her to turn around and transform her sponge-brush into a microphone.
Jinton’s dog, Nanook, surely knows what’s coming next… It’s twisting time!
Jinton lip syncs to Chubby Checker’s classic, completing her look with a pair of sunglasses.
The moment Jinton starts dancing “the twist,” be sure to keep your eye on Nanook as well. His tail starts wagging and it seems to go perfectly with the music. Talk about an awesome back-up performer!
From what it appears, the pooch is probably familiar with mom having a blast, dancing up a storm. She’s really quite good at it too.

“The dog knows exactly whats going on – he feels the fun in his tail :-)”
Music artist Chubby Checker popularized the dance style in the early 60s.
According to ThoughtCo., Checker appeared on The Dick Clark Show in August of 1960, where he performed the dance style along with his version of “The Twist.” On top of launching the dance craze – Checker’s cover of the song hit number one in 1960 and 1962!
The twist is an “easy” dance to do. Songfacts shared that Checker once described it as being like:
“…putting out a cigarette with both feet and coming out of a shower and wiping your bottom with a towel to the beat.”
Jinton and Nanook might inspire you to want to cut a rug too.
She swivels her hips and moves her feet to “Let’s Twist Again” – a song that won a Grammy award for “Best Rock & Roll Recording.” Although the canine might not actually show off his dance skills, he undeniably shares the spotlight with Jinton.
Once you see the duo in action, you might not be surprised that the video is lifting YouTube viewers’ spirits.
It has comments like:
“Wow! That was great. It makes me want to go out and learn to dance, especially the twist. Loved it!”
