PM gets into trouble for doing 6-7 dance at a school

Prime Minister Keir Starmer has apologised after leading school children in a version of the viral 6-7 dance meme, before finding out it was banned in their classroom.

It happened when he was visiting a primary school in Peterborough and was reading with pupils.

One of them pointed out that they were on page 67, and the prime minister then made the hand gesture.

The class all laughed but on his way out of the room Sir Kier was told: "Children get into trouble for saying that in our school."

Does 6-7 annoy your teachers and is it banned in your school? Have you ever been in trouble for saying it? Let us know in the comments below.

The prime minister encouraged other children in the class to join in before being told it wasn't allowed

Sir Keir apologised to the headteacher, saying: "I didn't start it, Miss!"

But he didn't seem too upset at the warning, sharing a video of his visit to the class on Instagram, and joking: "I think I just got myself put in detention..."

The phrase was named Dictionary.com's Word of the Year for 2025, but it's not been popular with everyone, especially some teachers who say it can be disruptive in their classes.

What do you think about the trend? Should it be allowed in schools or not? Let us know in the comments.
