MANILA, Philippines – The boys of One Direction may not have the choreographed dance moves of boybands past, but sure know how to whip and nae nae, thanks to a little boy named Gavin. During their On The Road Again concert in Kansas City July 28 (July 29 in the Philippines), the boys were taught the newest dance craze by Gavin, and it was documented by his sister Hannah.

In the first of Hannah’s videos on Twitter, Gavin expertly demonstrates the dance moves to the boys backstage – the struggle was real. “So I don’t know how to mayonnaise,” Harry Styles is heard saying.

Gavin later brought up to the boys that “Zayn (Malik) isn’t here,” prompting Harry to shout “Don’t remind us!” Former bandmate Zayn left the group in March and recently signed a contract with RCA Records. Harry also jokingly swore it would be the last time he would whip and nae nae.

Gavin was able to meet the boys backstage through the Make A Wish Foundation, an organization that grants the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions.
Last night we met a very brave little dude called Gavin. Gavin in an old head on young shoulders, so much fun teaching us how to whip.
