At least once in our lives, we’ve all fallen down in a public place.

However cool and confident you might be, it’s a sure blow to the ego and your soul is immediately filled with embarrassment.

It’s just one of life’s harsh realities and we all have to deal with it. There are some of us who deal with it much better than others. Take this baby ballerina, for instance.

She took a bit of a tumble during her big dance recital, but she didn’t let it get her down. She improvised.

Keep your eye on the girl on the far right (stage right, if you want to get technical). She’s the real star of this show.

These four little girls put on autumn shade tutus and tiny ballet shoes. It looks like their moms spent hours getting their hair just right. They are all so excited to perform!

Everyone was looking forward to a great routine.

They were doing their best and having fun as they went along. They stood on center stage as they dance to a song from the best dinosaur film of all time – The Land Before Time.

Our little star on the right could hardly contain herself. She was full of beans!

She accidentally took a little tumble while jumping up and down.

Instead of crying, feeling embarrassed, or running off stage, she decided to own it. The show must go on.

This young lady thought she could make the audience believe she had done it on purpose. She threw caution to the wind, left her ballet routine behind, and started dancing to her own drum.

Standing up, she then quickly got right back down on the ground. Then she did some cool kart-wheel type moves and then some ground spins.

She really didn’t miss a beat, she just kept going.

When the audience didn’t think it could get any better, this enthusiastic little girl started break dancing.

Put this kid in another kind of dance class ASAP – she’s too wild for ballet. Some birds were just not meant to be caged!

Her improvised breakdance moves enamored some YouTube viewers.

As were we all.

The three little girls got so confused by our rogue dancing queen. They just gave up on trying to continue with the original routine.

There’s nothing more to do than watch. She’s already stolen the show!

This is the type of confidence we should all aspire to have.

She looks around slightly confused. No one else is dancing, but she doesn’t let that stop her.

Just when you thought it couldn’t get better, the other girls start singing.

It’s like that scene in Mean Girls when the CD player breaks at the Christmas talent show and Lindsay Lohan’s character has to sing to save the show. Everyone is now just nervously singing so they can be doing something, anything, on stage until the music is over.

The song comes to an end. They all happily skip off stage together. Three of them looking a little confused.

The fall may have thrown the routine (and her co-stars) off a little bit. But there’s no denying this little girl is iconic and knows exactly how to brush off a mistake. I’m going to try this next time my clumsiness gets the best of me!

Watch the adorable video below to see the whole improvised routine.
