A guest appearance on the US TV program, The Ellen Show, has propelled Liangliang, a three-year-old Chinese boy, to further fame on Facebook and on other social media platforms available in China.  

Liangliang can't speak English but his energetic dance routine wooed the host, the live audience and millions more on social media around the world. 

On the daytime talk show, Liangliang's fast-paced dancercise routine is accompanied by four adult dancers, according to video posted on Friday by Knews.

The show's host Ellen DeGeneres even had kind words for the boy after the show on Twitter. "Liang Liang came all the way from China just to dance for us, and nothing has ever been more worth it."

The boy was invited to appear on the show after a Facebook post of his dance routine recorded in China, was viewed 60 million times overseas. 

Liangliang's grandparents got him started with dancercise in a local park to help him get fit but were surprised to see now he mastered the dance steps,Liangliang's mother said.

Liangliang's mother was more than a little surprised that her toddler's dance moves had turned him into an internet celebrity.
