It's been about a month and a half and we've just finished our 4th or 5th interview (Good Morning Texas!) and we take a moment to talk about the impact and the response to the video's influence, what we've learned and what you can take away from going viral!
You all are the best and we love your notes of encouragement and joy.
Continue to let your love be louder than the noise of the world ya'll. When it seems dark it's just a call to be more light!
Michael and Ali

I lost my amazing father at the beginning of this Corona pandemic. The video has been played many times in our house. The father/daughter vibe, the joy and the lyrics hit a need in our house. Many thanks for the joy you brought to our house during a period of much sorrow!

Lisa, I want you to know that I was thinking about you and your family today. I know it's been 3 months since you took the time to write this lovely note and it brought such joy when I first read it. Joy in a bitter sweet way. I too have lost my father recently and just wanted you to know that I've been praying for you and yours during these crazy times. I hope and trust that you've been able to, at least, soak in your memories and know that your Dad was proud of you I'm sure. I can be pretty confident thinking this because, as a Dad, I know the depth of my love for my children and it never subsides. ever. Be the ripple that you've shown this world to be. Love LOUD! This world needs ya.

Ahh you guys always make me smile. Here in Nova Scotia, Canada, it feels like our world was pulled out from under us with so much tragedy. Covid19, mass shooting, and a 3yr old boy missing. And that's just our little community. So I thank you so much for being a bit of light in such dark times. I lost count of how many times I've watched your dance video, and it always leaves me feeling a little at peace and able to forget the world for even a few moments. 🙏❤️

Hello Ali!! I love how you and and your family demonstrate such freedom, joy, love, peace and confidence throughout the video - it is inspiring. As you mentioned during one of your clips, I too believe that it is also important to just "do something in the moment" and not to overthink it, and create a joyful-maybe a little bit silly /inspiring video, such as you all did. In addition, I also love how you show that you are so comfortable in your skin without makeup, or worrying about your hair to look "perfect" and were having a blast during the moment shared together. Thank you all so much for sharing!! 🤗😄🙃😁 💎👸👑🙏
