Unfortunately, due to the coronavirus pandemic and the subsequent cancelation of large gatherings, many seniors aren’t able to graduate amongst their peers. Most have been left to the venues of their living rooms, backyards or other locations that compliments social distancing and safety. Despite the unfortunate circumstances, this hasn’t stopped people from being creative.
Instagram user
Chance Kennedy decided to celebrate his graduation from North Carolina Central University by coming up with some hype dance moves to balance out all the emotions that the season has brought. He dubbed his dance the #SeniorWalkChallenge and he hit every beat to a remix of
Marvin Sapp‘s “Never Would’ve Made It” by
iMarkkeyz and
DJ Dani Golde.
The #SeniorWalkChallege started catching on as more students’ graduations arrived and surely the challenge will continue to gain steam well into June.

Along with dance challenges raising spirits, major figures like
Barack Obama have also taken the time to address graduates to keep them motivated. The former president gave
two commencement speeches last weekend. One was addressed to graduating seniors at 74 historically Black colleges and universities in the U.S. and the other was addressed to graduating high school seniors nationwide, which was broadcast on major TV networks.
Obama will give more words along with former First Lady
Michelle Obama during YouTube’s “Dear Class of 2020” virtual graduation, set for June 6 at 3 p.m. ET, according to
Variety. Other stars set to join the graduation include
Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, Jennifer Lopez and more.
