A Geraldton postie\u2019s smooth moves on the job have brought smiles to an audience of millions, with a video of his impressive dance moves going viral over the weekend.<\/p>\n

Australia Post worker Tom Sorgiovanni, 17, was caught in the act by a CCTV camera when attempting to deliver a parcel to a Bluff Point house on Wednesday, March 4.<\/p>\n

After ringing the doorbell and getting no response, Mr Sorgiovanni seized the moment to bust some Michael Jackson-inspired moves on the property\u2019s front veranda.<\/p>\n

He was captured by the property\u2019s home security camera, and the owner of the house posted the video to the Geraldton Community Noticeboard on Facebook, attracting 3.4 million views and more than 290 comments.<\/p>\n

Television news outlets shared the video over the weekend, which the teen said he never expected to happen.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s all a bit crazy. I didn\u2019t realise how viral the video would go,\u201d Mr Sorgiovanni said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was there at this house at the end of the day, and it was the last parcel. I was happy because it was a 40C day and I was going home, so I just started singing to myself and had a little dance.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr Sorgiovanni said he was singing Michael Jackson\u2019s Billie Jean to himself, as Australia Post didn\u2019t allow workers to have headphones on while on the job.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t think too much of it to be honest,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe surface was really slippery, so while I was waiting, I just thought \u2018I can do a little dance\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

It wasn\u2019t until he finished his dance and went to document the failed delivery for Australia Post that Mr Sorgiovanni spotted the camera.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy first thought was \u2018oh no\u2019,\u201d Mr Sorgiovanni said.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut then my sister showed me that the video had been posted to Facebook, and everyone was loving it. My boss even thought it was really funny. She said it was pretty cool.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr Sorgiovanni said he learnt to dance when he was younger and now used it to \u201cmuck around.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said he did it when he needed to get his \u201chead out of what was happening\u201d.<\/p>\n

Australia Post has acknowledged the viral video and Mr Sorgiovanni\u2019s moves, and dubbed him an \u201cabsolute legend\u201d who will rock with the community and their parcels.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll I can say is a big thank you to the community for all of the support,\u201d Mr Sorgiovanni said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Geraldton postie\u2019s smooth moves on the job have brought smiles to an audience of millions, with a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":529001,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[64,63,134,35538,44,52350,153390],"class_list":["post-529000","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-entertainment","tag-mid-west","tag-news","tag-regional-wa","tag-the-geraldton-guardian"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/529000","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=529000"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/529000\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/529001"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=529000"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=529000"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=529000"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
