On St. Patricks’ Day 2017, a cute two-year-old girl made her way into the hearts of many as she taught her dad Irish dance moves. In the viral video, the adorable girl clapped, tapped, and stamped while her dad follows her closely.
The little dancer’s mom, a former Lord of the Dance member for four years, tells Irish Central that she likes to think that her daughter has been dancing from the day she was conceived. The girl’s mom taught Irish dance through her pregnancy, and when the baby turned three months old, she started tagging along to watch her mom’s dance classes
Her mom can be heard in the background, reminding her of the steps while cheering her on. Teaching a toddler anything is never a walk in the park. It is a wonder how this two-year-old can learn and coordinate her moves so well while her peers can hardly stand or walk a few steps without tripping. This little girl was not only born into dancing, but she is also extremely talented.
For this little girl, it is more than the practice, she loves what she does; that is why she is perfect. Although she is not old enough to start traveling around the world by herself for competitions, she still keeps up with all the action on the Irish dancing scene. In another clip on her Instagram page, she is seen keenly watching and clapping along to the music during champions live by the ceili dancing.
It is also completely sweet to watch as she tells her mom exactly what tunes are playing in the background. Her taste in Irish music and dances is exquisite. She loves Michael Flatley, the American-Irish former dancer who revolutionized Irish dancing into a spectacular attraction and her mother’s former boss, according to Britannica. Besides, she enjoys watching her mom’s Lord of the Dance DVD.
The adorable dancing start is downing a tiny green bow and tapping shoes ready for her grand performance. She is full of energy as she beautifully dances and hops around with skill and presence in their living room.
The dad cannot resist her charm as he is seen smiling as he taps, skips, and claps along with her. She is a true performer because she effortlessly moves her feet and quickly catches up whenever she misses or forgets a step.
Towards the end, the mom is heard reminding her to get ready for the “rollie-pollie,” the cutest. She gracefully comes in, rolling her hand, turning around, and it ends with her clapping and tapping. She pulls the cutest toddler stunt when she stops suddenly and stares up to something. The dad then signals the mum that this is probably the end. Don’t you wish it went on for a bit longer?
The little girl is a master of her art, and it is evident in the way she teaches her dad all about The Three Tunes. Like many other awards winning Irish dancing champions who started at a tender age, this little girl is surely set up for success.
For a two-year-old, this girl knows how to dance. It is impeccable to watch her, and it is hard not to wish you could dance along with her.
The power of supporting a child’s talent is undeniable. Parents are responsible for boosting their kids’ confidence and having them on a journey of success and self-discovery.
