Texas teenager Ariel Olivar’s “invisible box” dance move recently went viral, landing the cheerleader a spot on Good Morning America. “Cheerleader defies gravity” read the header, referencing the video Olivar posted to her Twitter which garnered almost 150,000 retweets and 300,000 likes in less than a week’s time.

She posted a part two the next day, which may be even better than the original:

“When I posted it to my Snap story and then later on at night to Twitter … it exploded and went everywhere,” she told ABC News, adding that she was “up all night because the notifications would not stop coming and it’s unbelievable how a six-second video got to this where we are now.”
Naturally, a flood of comments came in accusing Olivar of doctoring the video or using props such as ropes or a glass box to achieve the stunt. She assures everyone the video is “totally, 100 percent real,” and even broke down the dance move step by step on Good Morning America last Tuesday.
