Viral clip shows priest's stunning dance moves in flash mob

An Indian Catholic priest left his congregation stunned as he joined with children in his congregation for an incredible dance routine mid service.

The video clip posted on Facebook has been shared thousands of times as Silva took the internet by storm.

It shows a group of youngsters performing an immaculate dance routine before the priest, fully kitted out in the white robes, joins the flash mobs with shapes that would put a professional dancer to shame.
