Have you ever been to a matinee where the choreography is entrusted to the smallest? Horror, a waking nightmare. Too young artists do not know where to turn, half of them are hysterical, teachers are trying in vain to show themselves what to do, grandmothers groan, dads quietly laugh… But not like Mark Daniels, who was on stage at a critical moment and saved the whole number to the great joy of the audience!
Bermuda, Hamilton City Hall, the children’s ballet club is holding a dress rehearsal of its first serious number. Who thought that kids 2-3 years old should dance on a really big, serious stage by local standards? It is no wonder that from the very first minutes, ignoring the efforts of the educators, the group of ballerinas began to stumble, became confused and now treacherously sniffed their noses. And then he appeared — super dad!
Mark instinctively tried to help his daughter Bella when he realized that she was emotionally confused. But there was nowhere to put the younger Suri — just like that, with one child in his arms and helping the second, dad started dancing. He had watched his daughter rehearse at home many times, so he was guided in the movements, although everything else was pure improvisation. The main thing is to maintain confidence, which is what little ballerinas lack.
Now Mark is a local celebrity, he is invited to play either the mascot of the ballet circle, or a backup guardian angel. In any case, he will definitely be somewhere near the stage at the official performance, although he hopes that his help will not be needed. Making adults laugh is one thing, but helping children and taking care of their daughters is quite another.
