Yahoo! Movies are the lucky recipient of an exclusive clip from James Gunn's Guardians of the Galaxy, featuring the dancing baby Groot everyone's been talking about for the last two weeks.

"Baby Groot dancing is 100 percent me," Gunn admitted to Yahoo! when asked who did the dancing for motion capture. "I was too embarrassed for anyone to be there, so I made everyone leave the room and I set up a camera and I videotaped myself dancing. Then I sent the video to the animators and had them animate over that. I begged them not to leak the video! Two of my closest friends came to an early screening and said 'Hey, I recognize those moves! That's you dancing isn't it?!'"

Spoilers in the clip for those who haven't yet seen the film.

For everyone else, here it is: your moment of Zen.

Guardians of the Galaxy is in theaters now. A sequel is expected along on July 28, 2017.

Note: Some readers have expressed difficulty seeing the video. You can alternately view it at the Yahoo! link above.
