A 45-second video of a Nigerian boy dancing without shoes in the rain has landed the aspiring（有抱负的）dancer a scholarship at New York's ABT Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis School of Dance.

Anthony's dance video raised a storm on social media with hundreds of thousands of views from people all over the globe.

The video eventually caught the attention of Cynthia Harvey, a former principal dancer with American Ballet Theatre and the current artistic director of the ABT Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis School of Dance, one of America's most distinguished ballet schools.

"A friend who lives in the UK sent me the video," Harvey said when interviewed. "Within a day, I was trying to find him."

Two days later, Harvey managed to get in touch with the boy and his teacher. Soon after, she had arranged for full scholarships so Anthony could attend the ABT Young Dancer Summer Workshop, a three-week intensive program.

"A child who shows this much devotion, you just have to help," she said.

Anthony's teacher, Daniel Ajala Owoseni, is a self-taught dancer who opened the Leap of Dance Academy in his own small home.

The video of Anthony was filmed outside of his home due to limited space inside.

"It made us just feel very astonished and grateful. We cannot believe our eyes, and so much support, sometimes we think we're dreaming. So many people have been so gracious to us by providing all these things. Anthony is very excited and has always been a hard worker, so he is happy to continue working towards his dreams and have this opportunity," said Owoseni.

D.It won an award for a boy.
