If there’s one trait that all children share, it’s their unpredictability.
They can go from having the confidence of a superhero to being utterly bamboozled by the world around them in two seconds flat.
These two kids show both extremes.
The little girl takes the stage with confidence as she marches out to meet her dance partner in the center.
The little boy, though, seems to have forgotten all that he has rehearsed.
The video was filmed in Russia, showing the two very young dancers dressed up in sailor outfits and performing an adorable little dance to a classic Russian tune.
‘ты морячка я моряк’ by Oleg Gazmanov is a song about a sailor girl, which the song title translates to.
The title roughly translates to “You’re a Sailor Girl, I’m a Sailor” and the lyrics are all about oceans, seas, ports, and sailing.
That helps explain why the little munchkins are dressed up in this way.
They begin their routine standing at opposite ends of the stage, facing each other, and we can see right from the start that the young girl looks more confident than her male partner.
Thankfully, she’s got confidence for two.
The routine gets off to a good start as the kids march toward each other and start to dance side by side. The boy marches in place while the girl swings her skirt from side to side.
Then, they embrace.
When they do they lift their legs in a super cute moment, but that’s when the boy starts to lose his rhythm.
Suddenly, it seems like his brain has a 404 error, and he just forgets whatever he was supposed to be doing
The boy freezes.
The girl continues to dance, doing the best she can to keep the performance alive.
Noticing that her partner has frozen, the girl doesn’t give up.
In fact, at several points, she reaches out to the boy, wraps her arms around him, and moves him around the stage into the right positions for their routine to continue.
Then, when the chorus kicks in, she takes control once again, grabbing his arms and spinning around in a circle.
Slowly but surely, the boy begins to start moving again.
Then, she sweetens the pot.
The girl even tries giving him a kiss and a hug to get him back in the groove.
By the end of the show, the boy has finally gotten his confidence back, and it’s all thanks to the girl.
They end the dance in style, marching across the stage together, dancing side by side one final time, and waving to one another as the song reaches its conclusion.
They’ve gotten over 6 million views.
Many of the comments are in Russian, but we can translate a few of our favorites:
“The woman always leads, even at this age!”
“It’s like they always say, women have to take charge of everything.”
“She’ll be a great wife someday. He’s standing around saying “Where am I? Who am I? What do I do?” and she’s saying “Silly, dance!”
