Incredible news out of Dallas: Sam Horowitz, the boy made famous after his amazing bar mitzvah dance routine hit the web and went viral, is coming to New York Fashion Week next month. Sam seems to enjoy the spotlight and apparently has a real love for glamor (that is, in addition to the performing arts). As his mother Angela says, "He loves to sing and dance. He's a really passionate kid."

If you haven't seen the video, it's after the jump. In it, the Texas native descends onto the stage of an Omni Hotel inside an oversize chandelier, then proceeds to perform a perfectly choreographed routine with a group of female backup dancers to the tune of J Lo and Pitbull's "Dance Again." It's pretty great.

Naturally, Sam's taking his newly-found fame to New York. By way of explanation, Angela offered this: "He loves fashion. He's got friends at Neiman Marcus."
