Uptown Funk Done in One Long Shot

It’s hard not to get up and move to the music when “Uptown Funk,” the chart-topping hit from Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars, starts to play. But moving to the music alongside dozens of students in a synchronized, hip-shaking, funkadelic high school production? Now that’s hard work.

In the clip, Pankey leads his charges through the halls of the Dallas institution and in a tightly choreographed routine that’s captured in a single long shot.

“This is a great example of how a bunch of technology students let go of their fears, trusted their teacher and got down to Uptown Funk!!!,” the YouTube caption accompanying the video reads.
