A young dancer stole the show and got some serious respect at her recital recently.

Elissa Colon posted the YouTube video "Johanna channeling Aretha Franklin" which features three young tap dancers performing to Franklin's song "Respect" Monday.

Johanna, 6, Colon’s daughter and the dancer in the middle, wows the crowd with her over-the-top performance bringing raucous cheers and applause from the audience.

And the only standing ovation of the night, according to 6abc.com.
