The Grade 0s at St Andrew’s School for Girls recreated the viral choreography of Yung Lean’s STORM music video in the absolute most adorable way – without using a single stitch of AI!

 

Johannesburg, South Africa (19 October 2026) – The sweet little learners at the Bedfordview primary school decided to have a go at recreating Swedish rapper Yung Lean’s viral music video, and the result will leave you with a massive smile!

Yung Lean’s original music video for ‘STORM’, created in collaboration with French electronic project GENER8ION, took the internet by storm thanks to its mind-blowing choreography by Damien Jalet.

Set in a fictional boys’ boarding school, the climax of the nearly eight-minute-long video features dozens of talented young men performing an intense, perfectly synchronised dance while Yung Lean stands virtually motionless right in the centre of it all.

The movements were so unbelievably precise that many viewers initially thought it was AI-generated, but every bit of that incredible dancing was 100% real human effort!

Ironically, the video then turned into a massive AI trend across social media. Fans started using AI tools to recreate the sequence with celebrities, footballers, dogs, cats, and fictional characters.

Then, Yung Lean brought that sensational choreography back ‘IRL’ with over 60 live dancers on stage at this year’s MTV Video Music Awards. If you haven’t seen it yet, you definitely need to watch it here!

And now the STORM craze has officially landed at St Andrew’s School for Girls.

The school’s youngest little stars, alongside their fantastic teacher, gave it their absolute all to recreate the video. The best part? No AI was needed to produce this total nugget of pure joy!

Pssst, you can click here to watch the video if it’s not playing automatically for you.

“Who needs AI to jump on a trend when our Grade 0s being real and authentic is far better than any artificially generated perfection!” the school writes.
