Once you're able to separate yourself from the fact that an 11-year-old girl is dancing to Nicki Minaj's "Anaconda" this video is actually rather impressive.

YouTube user Laurence Kaiwai, also featured in the clip alongside the young dancer, recently uploaded the below video of 11-year-old Taylor Hatala dancing her heart out to Minaj's most recent hit. And from looking at it, it seems this girl has some serious skills. Of course, judging from the nearly 200,000 hits the YouTube video has garnered, it would appear safe to say quite a few other people agree.

The below routine performed by both Hatala and Kaiwai incporporates some oh, so difficult steps, jumps, shoulder shrugs and hip shaking. All the stuff that makes dancing look so damn intriguing. Unfortunately, it's easier watched than done.

Check out the video below.

Guessing from the outcry on Twitter and various media sites (including Music Times, of course), it looks as if Hatala could very well be on her way to having a great dance career! At least, we hope so, because there's no denying that her talent is impressive.

Of course, should Minaj want to scoop up the girl's skills, she may want to wait a few years ... longer, actually.

Along with Hatala, Kaiwai appears to be surprised by the undeniable blow-up of the video. He took to Instagram to express his appreciation, saying, "I woke up to some pretty overwhelming stuff today... NZ's MAI FM sharing my latest clip on their page "Smooth Criminal" and THE RYAN SEACREST going off on his official site about my clip to "Anaconda" with my little sis @tayd_dance! Trying to let that all sink in... Wow... Thank you everyone for the support!"
