For its newest back to school clothing ad, Target rounded up some of the best child dancers like Maddie Ziegler, Mace Maya and Kida the Great to show that its newest denim collection is one that looks stylish, as well as one that kids can move freely in.
If these pop-and-locking, break-dancing kids can comfortably bust a move in these pairs of back to school jeans, it's a sure sign that the average kid will have no trouble running, jumping and otherwise doing what they do best.
The commercial is set to the tune of Tori Kelly's 'ABC,' a remake of the classic song originally recorded by the Jackson 5. Each time this track is downloaded for free from SoundCloud, Target donates $5 worth of school supplies to the Kids in Need Foundation.
