A Texas teacher is arguably on his way to celeb status with his Dubsmashing skills and viral dance moves.

Dr. Trevor Boffone, a Spanish teacher at Bellaire High School in Bellaire, Texas, shares videos online of him dancing with his students.

Boffone said he's always danced with the kids, but after he made an Instagram page, he quickly garnered 157,000 followers.

"I'm doing the same things I've always done, it's just getting more attention," Boffone told "Good Morning America." "My students, they're used to me. They know I'm silly, they know I dance, they know I like TLC and En Vogue and all of those things."
