A Philadelphia dance studio gave daddy daughter dancing a whole new light.
The studio held a Daddy and Me dance class, in which men — dads or father figures participate with their little girls.
E’Chappe Dance Arts hosts the two-hour class, which combines ballet with yoga.
Video showing local fathers and daughters taking part in the “BOGA” class is going viral, with celebrities including Jennifer Garner reposted the video saying, “Dads are the best. #TutuTuesday on a Monday.”
Filmmaker Ava Duvernay tweeted out the clip as well. “I miss my Dad. He would have done this for me,” she said. “To all the many, many millions of brothers out there being great, thank you.”

“I can’t even believe it,” studio owner Erin Lee told Fox 29 of the sudden attention. “I am ecstatic.”
Lee added, “This is what I care about. Good dads being highlighted. This is the part that’s amazing for me.”
The classes are open to children ages 4-8, and no dance experience is necessary.
