What was special about Travis Kelce’s viral dance?
Video emerged of Kelce busting out his best moves in front of a green screen at a community event in Kansas City. He was helping record a video for Operation Breakthrough and its Ignition Lab, which he proudly repped on his red hoodie.
Operation Breakthrough is a nationally accredited, not-for-profit corporation that began as a response to requests from parents in the central city for quality child care for children of the working poor, according to the organization’s website.
It is based in Kansas City, where Kelce plays for the Chiefs NFL team. Like his quarterback Patrick Mahomes and his wife Brittany, Kelce is committed to making Kansas City a better place.

Why is Operation Breakthrough important to Travis Kelce?
Kelce helped build the Ignition Lab through his foundation, 87 and Running. It is a space for the children in Operation Breakthrough to explore STEM subjects in a collaborative way at a young age, helping spark interest in arts, electrical, robotics, construction, culinary arts, multimedia, automotive and engineering, and green tech.
The relationship Travis has with the program is genuine, and the fact that his dancing brought added attention to Operation Breakthrough really brings it full circle.
“The Operation Breakthrough kids won me over the first time I walked in the building six years ago,” the Chiefs tight end said in 2021. “The little ones loved to hear stories. The bigger kids tried to teach me to dance.”
