A primary school principal in north China has become the internet celebrity（网红）for creating some cool moves during a morning exercise routine（常规）with his students.

Every morning, 40-year-old principal Zhang Pengfei at the Xi Guan Primary School in Linyi county, Shanxi province would lead about 700 pupils on the playground to dance 'ghost shuffle（魔鬼舞步）' routine—a dance that is modem jazz steps with heel, toe and arm .

The headmaster thought the fun and exercise with energy routine would better encourage students to get instead of 'being glued to their mobile phones'.

The school's new 30-minute dance routine has replaced the broadcast calisthenics（广播体操）programme, a short exercise that has been a at every primary, middle and secondary school（中学）in China since 1951.

" I thought we  a change because the students have been losing  in doing the broadcast calisthenics routine, " Zhang told the reporter.
