By now, everyone on TikTok or Instagram has come across Chopped Chin—the internet star famous for his groovy moves in the front row of a Hawks game. He went viral, became a meme, and still calls our own backyard home. That’s right. A senior at our neighboring North Atlanta High School, Chopped Chin is a regular student—engaging in activities such as theater, singing, and now, apparently joining the Westminster DanceCats for the 2025-26 school year.
Although in his final year of high school, Chopped Chin has shockingly turned down all of his college acceptances to accept an offer from Westminster to dance on our own DanceCats team. The Westminster Athletics Department strategized that recruiting this famous athlete (yes, we are calling him that) would promote Westminster on all social media platforms. And why is Chopped Chin interested? He can keep up with his Buckhead roots, build his brand, and garner more fame.
When Westminster made this announcement at an Upper School assembly, cheers erupted in McCain for their soon-to-be classmate.
“I cannot wait to spend the next year with my role model!” says freshman Split Ends. “I’m not even in DanceCats, but I’m definitely joining now just to be near him.”
Not everyone is thrilled, however. Some in the Westminster student body feel threatened by Chopped Chin’s growing influence.
“I’m worried that when Chopped Chin joins the team, he will steal the leadership position I’ve worked so hard for—all just because he can move his shoulders!” current DanceCats captain, junior Busted Buttocks, confesses.
This skepticism has fueled a rumor regarding Chopped Chin’s legitimate dance qualifications. The dean of students, Brookie Batch, spoke with the instigators of the rumors, who admitted to a little jealousy of Chopped Chin’s natural talent. Despite no formal training, he has transformed from average teen to viral sensation, all thanks to social media’s power to propel talent into stardom.
Chopped Chin, himself, is well aware that attending Westminster will only boost his popularity. Within minutes of arriving for his Westminster campus tour, the current juniors were already begging him to run for one of their six class officer positions for senior year. New student admits are typically not permitted to run for office during their first year, but apparently the class of 2026 is willing to make an exception.
“I’m not planning on running for a mere class officer position. I’m going straight for senior class president,” says the celebrity, making it clear that he wants to gain the most fame from his Westminster experience.
Dr. Shattered-Shins, the DanceCats faculty advisor—who, by the way, earned his PhD in the History of Breakdancing—has been tasked with officially evaluating Chopped Chin’s moves.
“I can tell you this kid has potential. He’s a star,” Dr. Shattered-Shins affirms. As he prepares to take DanceCats to a nationwide competition next year, he adds, “I can’t wait to see how Chopped Chin will elevate the team and bring home the gold.”
