Nov. 26 (UPI) -- Lionel Messi has unmatched moves on the soccer pitch. His trio of toddler sons recently showed that they share that agility with a living room dance party.

The Barcelona superstar posted videos of the rhythm session Sunday on Instagram. His first video featured his middle child, Mateo. The 3-year-old sported some Monsters, Inc. pajamas while LMFAO's Sexy and I know It blared in the background from his living room.

Mateo deployed some serious hand and arm moves before clapping and really breaking it down and performing in front of his dad. Messi's oldest son, Thiago, then joined the party, dancing and singing in front of his brother.

But Mateo wasn't having it. The youngster put a play chokehold on his 6-year-old brother until he stopped dancing.

Messi captioned the video with five emojis featuring monkeys holding their hands over their eyes. The Argentine later posted another video of his boys, this time including Ciro. The youngest boy of the Messi clan was born in March.

Both videos had millions of interactions, including comments from David Beckham, Neymar Jr. and Messi's teammates.
