Mavie has her ballet class, and her dad was not going to stay seated in the audience.
Neymar stood beside her, copying every step, every turn, every clumsy movement of a little girl who is just learning. They were both laughing. He, a Santos footballer and one of the most photographed figures on the planet, there, on tiptoes, following the rhythm of a little girl only a few years old 😂
But the scene changed when Mavie went up on stage alone. Neymar watched her dance, and tears got the better of him. There were no professional cameras or preparation: just a dad watching his daughter do something that makes her happy, and breaking down right there. The video went viral within hours 🩰❤️
TOO CUTE 🥰
