A loving stepdad has gone viral after he learned a dance routine to help his stepdaughter who was nervous to perform in front of more than 100 people. Despite only being five, Nova, from Wasilla, Alaska, was accepted into a cheer camp for kids six and up, and mom Lauren Valle, 25, said it was only two days, with each session lasting one and a half hours. A total of three hours of practice was a short amount of time for Nova to learn an entire dance, so she felt anxious about messing up when she performed the routine in front of more than 100 people. Lauren was only three weeks postpartum at the time of the camp so wasn't able to help her daughter with her routine. So, Nova's stepdad, Josue, 31, immediately stepped up, watching a recording he had taken from the cheer camp over and over again until he understood the dance moves enough to teach Nova.
