Nervous 2-Year-Old Looks At Dad When She Forgets Dance Steps, He Jumps Right Into Action

Most parents will do anything to help their children succeed. Parents help with homework, drive their kids to sports practice and support their teams in competitions, and attend dance recitals, plays, and school performances. Activities and encouraging your child are just a part of being a parent.

But, some parents go above and beyond. Sometimes, it’s not necessarily a good thing. Maybe they push too hard, are too critical of their child’s accomplishments, or are those yelling and screaming parents at the soccer game.

However, it seems that most parents have their child’s best interests at heart and only want to encourage them to do their best. For many parents, that means finding a balance between encouragement and pushing too hard and being able to offer help when it is needed.

One Kentucky parent, Acers Gill, is determined to be the best “dance dad” that he can be. He’s apparently been paying close attention when his daughter attends dance lessons and rehearsals at Kiddie Kapers & Company Dance Program. It seems that he knows the moves even better than his adorable little girl.

When his daughter is performing, the two-year-old gets nervous and forgets the moves she practiced so hard. Fortunately, her attentive dad knows the dance routine better than she does. He’s waiting in the wings of the stage, and when she looks to him for help, he’s able to guide her through the dance.

What Acers didn’t realize is that he could be seen from the audience, and another dance parent was able to catch the sweet moment on video. His “performance” quickly went viral, much to his surprise.

“I don’t even know what to think about it because, for me, anyone who knows me knows that’s just me being me, being a parent,” Acers told the Herald-Leader. “I do that daily. That’s nothing unusual.”
