Will Smith gives Manurewa High School 'Fresh Prince' dance group a shout-out

  • 17/06/2018

Manurewa High School has been given a shout-out from the Fresh Prince himself following the school's viral dance performance at a national hip-hop competition.

Will Smith took to Instagram to praise students from the south Auckland school for their performance, for which they placed second.

The dance by the "Rewa All Stars" was inspired by the theme song for '90s TV show Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, in which Smith played the lead character.

It's not the first time they have gained attention this week; internationally acclaimed Kiwi chorographer Parris Goebel also visited the school to congratulate it on the routine.

The video of the dance went viral across Instagram and Facebook with hundreds of thousands of views.
