In a heartwarming display of family tradition, Bryce Querubin and his brothers delivered an unforgettable performance at a recent baby shower held in their Bay Area home, California. The 26-year-old and his wife, Yesenia, were celebrating the impending arrival of their child when guests were treated to a surprise choreographed dance to *NSYNC’s classic hit, “I Want You Back.”

Bryce took to social media just a week prior to the shower, sharing a popular dance trend that sparked excitement among his brothers, Branlee, 34, and BJ, 29. “I tagged my brothers in the post, and they were both immediately down to join in,” he recalled. The trio has a long history of dancing, having honed their skills from middle school through college, each of them branching out into different dance experiences over the years.
Despite the appearance of weeks of preparation, the performance was quite spontaneous. “It all came together rather quickly,” Bryce admitted. The brothers had not practiced the routine together in person before the big day; in fact, the dance they performed at the shower was the first time they executed it as a complete unit. “I saw BJ right after I shared the dance trend, and we began piecing it together. It was a short routine, about 15 seconds long, so we felt confident we could learn it swiftly.”
Planning for the dance was somewhat of an impromptu project. Over the days leading up to the baby shower, the brothers checked in to ensure they were each prepared. With Branlee, who resides in San Diego, confirming he had it down early, Bryce finalised his moves just the night before the event. It was clear that the brothers were committed to making the performance a delight for their guests.
The moment of truth arrived after the guests had finished playing shower games. Once the cue was given, Bryce and his brothers stepped onto the floor, executing their routine amid cheers and applause from family and friends. “The reaction was what I expected—wild, in a very good way,” he expressed. Bryce welcomed his daughter, Alaiya, shortly after the celebration in August.
Surprise dances are a cherished tradition within the Querubin family. “This kind of performance is certainly our thing during family gatherings,” Bryce noted, recalling similar dances at his wedding last September and at Branlee’s wedding in previous years. “Our family almost anticipates it at this point, and their enthusiasm only adds to the fun of each performance.”
Following the shower, Bryce shared a video of the dance on his social media, which he has actively cultivated for over six years. “I initially found success but didn’t take it seriously until January of this year,” he explained. Embracing a new approach, he decided to release content without overthinking the perfection of his output. “I wanted to create and share what I believe is good, regardless of views or likes. This change in mindset has really paid off,” he added.
As a new father, Bryce is excited about the prospect of future performances with his brothers. “If BJ ever has a wedding or if anyone else in the family wants a dance performance, we’re all in,” he affirmed. The bond that the brothers share through dance is meaningful, and they intend to keep this tradition alive as long as they enjoy it and their audience appreciates it.
The brotherly bond, showcased through these surprise performances, demonstrates the joy and unity that a simple dance can foster within a family. With their love for dance and shared memories, the Querubin brothers continue to make moments that are cherished by their loved ones, illustrating that family traditions can be both amusing and unifying. As they look to the future, it is clear that the stage is set for many more joyful performances to come.
