Performers from professional acrobats to dancers on ice are exciting this time of year, especially when they’re Christmas-themed. These performances instantly fill our spirits with not just entertainment but magic. However, nothing compares to local performers this holiday season.
In fact, one video of toddlers in adorable reindeer costumes brings one of the best forms of Christmas entertainment with their ‘Rudolph the Rednosed Reindeer’ performance. Fortunately, the young dancers’ recital was caught on film, allowing millions around the world to smile at their charm and talent!
In the video of the red-antlered cuties, they start off with their hands on their knees, with ‘Rudolph’ playing in the background, as they wait to bust out their moves at the right moment. As the song announces each one of Santa’s reindeer, each dancer rises to one. I’m already dying at the cuteness!
After announcing the little reindeer, the dance officially begins. The audience begins laughing when the dancers begin bobbing up and down, kicking their legs around, and pointing to their tiny noses when the singer sings, “Rudolph the rednosed reindeer had a very shiny nose.”
I think my personal favorite dance move was when they shook their fingers to the lyrics, “They never let poor Rudy join in any reindeer games.” The forced, angry expressions some of the girls had on their faces as they shook their fingers had me chuckling.
The best part about the recital was that each girl had her own personality shine through. Some girls were more relaxed and careless while others were lively and thoroughly enjoying every second in the limelight, like the toddler in the center.
After the Rudolph dance, cheers and claps roared from the audience. Some of the girls remained calm, some appeared shy or even a little embarrassed, and then one little girl towards the left was extraordinarily excited after the dance, jumping up and down and already prepared to run off the stage in the wrong direction.
For their age, the girls did an excellent job remembering most of their dance moves! While there were certainly parts of the performance where the girls would forget what they were supposed to do next, like randomly busting out their own moves, it’s little things like local dance recitals that bring instant joy, comfort, and gratitude to our hearts.
