Wichita Police Officer Timothy Baird has served with the department for nearly ten years. He was blocking traffic for a parade last weekend, when he met the First Phaze Dance Team.
What happened next has gone viral.
“I thought, ‘Hey that looks like a blast. I’ve been standing around here, getting warm. Maybe I’ll move around some,’” Baird said.
So he jumped out to join them, and it was received pretty well – though Baird says his skills weren’t quite up to par.
“I was trying to do what they were doing,” Baird said. “Didn’t go really well like they were doing.”
