Chelsea Krow, known on TikTok as MamaKrow, posted the clip that shows her three-year-old daughter Emmy, dressed in a black leotard and red tutu, standing on stage amongst her fellow tiny dancers.

The toddler is first seen sporting an anxious expression as she persistently searches the crowd for a familiar face.

She finally spots her family, particularly her one-year-old baby sister who was excited to see her on stage, and Emmy's reaction is everything! As soon as she sees her family, Emmy's face immediately brightens with the biggest smile as she wipes away tears of joy while waving enthusiastically at her entourage.

Krow told the Daily Mail that her and her husband got Emmy into dance to help her "develop confidence."

"Emmy said she was so happy to see her sister she cried!" Krow explained. "We told her not all tears are sad tears, and that we were so proud of her."

Emmy had practiced the routine for her first-ever recital all month long, only allowing her parents to hear the song she was set to dance to.

"She has such a big heart [that] she has always worn on her sleeve," Krow said. "We were thrilled she could see us in the crowd and knew we were all there to support her."

The video has received millions of views and thousands of comments, with tons of people sharing just how much Emmy has brightened their day.
