Loa captioned the post: “Learning some Punjabi dance moves with my student Prabnoor to celebrate the completion of our BCIT Consumer Behaviour course.
“Yay for my students who all passed with flying colours!
“Am I ready for my Bollywood appearance?”
Her enthusiasm and dancing went viral and impressed viewers worldwide.

A third praised: “Excellent dance performance.”
The viral video also resonated with Indian audiences, who appreciated the professor’s willingness to embrace their culture.

The moment highlighted a unique role reversal, as Prabnoor took the lead in teaching his professor traditional Punjabi dance moves.
One viewer noted: “The way he taught his teacher Indian dance is commendable.”
The viral video showcases the power of cultural exchange and the strong bond between educators and students, proving that learning goes beyond the classroom.
This wasn’t the first time a dance video brought smiles online.
