R&B superstar Usher brought his signature flair to his daughter’s classroom, giving her preschool classmates a dance lesson they won’t forget. Alongside his wife, Jennifer Goicoechea, Usher participated in career day, introducing the young children to his life as an entertainer.
The event, held on December 21, featured a heartwarming interaction between the Grammy-winning artist and the preschoolers, including his 4-year-old daughter, Sovereign Bo Raymond. The proud parents explained their respective careers, with Jennifer taking the lead. “I help artists, entertainers, make music, put on shows, and do videos,” she said before turning the spotlight to her husband. “Today, I came here to introduce Daddy as an entertainer.”
Usher, 46, greeted the class with a smile and a playful explanation of his work. “Sove gets to call me Daddy, but the rest of the world knows me as Usher,” he shared. The entertainer then delved into the inspiration behind one of his most famous dance moves, “The Glitch,” which was influenced by Vanellope, a character from the animated movie Wreck-It Ralph. “Have any of you seen Wreck-It Ralph?” he asked. “Vanellope has another name—Glitch. After seeing that movie, I made up a dance called ‘The Glitch.’”

It also reflects his dedication to family life. “There is no disconnect when it comes to our children,” he has said about his blended family, emphasizing the importance of unity and love.
