When Meghan Surrell of Orlando, Florida, and her family went to a restaurant that featured Irish dancing. At some point, her daughter, Zoe, just stood up and started dancing as if she were part of the act.
The people eating at the restaurant applauded the toddler’s confidence and passion for dancing, and her mother knew that she had to do something about it.
So, she enrolled 3-year-old Zoe in Irish dancing classes a few months ago.
“Who doesn’t love a little child who’s full of love and passion for something. And it’s just her little face when she’s dancing,” says Amanda Finnegan of Finnegan Academy of Irish Dance.
Since Zoe started taking Irish dance classes, she has taken part in performances, always stealing the show and receiving the loudest applause from the audience.
But what made little Zoe famous was her performance during a recital in Oviedo, which her mother proudly filmed and posted on social media.
“I could not be more proud of my little 3 year old! She went out, had n0 fear and danced her little heart out! I can’t wait to see how the rest of the month is going to look,” Meghan wrote in her Instagram post.

The video of the 3-year-old moving to the front of the stage and dancing like nobody’s watching and, at the same time, as if this is the most important thing in her life went viral with more than 7 million views, according to her mom.
The response from social media users was so huge that Meghan was overwhelmed.
“All of a sudden, it just kind of blew up,” Zoe’s mother says. ” I had people asking ‘Where is she dancing next? I wanna come see her’. So I had to start her her own Instagram page.”
Indeed, as of now Zoe has her own Instagram account- most probably managed by her parents. There, the little dancer’s fans can find out details about her next performances and also watch the adorable toddler do her favorite dance.

In one of the posts on her account, you can even watch part of her original performance at the Finnegan’s Pub at Universal Studios Orlando, where she first expressed her love of Irish dancing.
Social media users are going crazy about this adorable toddler’s skills and professional attitude when she’s dancing.
“I know she’s definitely the star of the show,” someone wrote, while another Instagram user commented: “Omg she’s incredible and I loved every second of it!! And yessss mini stoplight shenanigans!!!”
Although Irish dancing looks very complicated and difficult to master, it can be learned if someone is really dedicated.
And, while most Academies accept kindergarten children (5-year-olds)as their youngest students, because they need to have mastered skills like telling left from right or have an ability to focus for longer periods, it seems that Zoe is an exception.
