Hosting a quinceanera for your daughter is a big deal. The event, which celebrates a young girl’s transition into adulthood, represents a significant point when daddy’s little girl is no longer a little girl but a young 15-year-old woman.
Retired U.S. Marine Leonardo Cortinas wanted to go the extra mile for his daughter, so he agreed to make their father-daughter dance extra special. His daughter Jasmine, however, had something unique in mind.
She wanted their dance to be a special memory for herself, as well as all of her guests, so she choreographed a dance medley that ranged from Motown to hip-hop and club music to wow everyone. Her dear old dad practiced for three weeks to get all his dance moves just right, TODAY reports.
Their dance started out with “My Girl” by The Temptations, which morphed into “Soulja Boy” on other hits like “Gangham Style.” Cortinas was super into it and nailing the dance moves his daughter taught him. There’s one part in the video where he pretends like he doesn’t want to do the “Tootsie Roll.”
But of course he does, and enthusiastically returns to the dance floor because everyone wants to do the “Toostie Roll,” t-t-tootsie roll.
Jasmine’s little brother then kicks her dad off the dance floor and jumps in his place to join his sister to Whip and Nae Nae.
Her father then joins her once again to finish off their performance, dancing cheek-to-cheek, with the song they started with.
You can see the sheer joy on this proud father’s face when they are done with their routine. It was a beautiful moment they, and their 600 guests, will never forget.
