‘Show-stealer’: Dog disrupts dancer as she performs on stage, internet is in splits

In a video that has gone viral on social media, a dog can be seen storming a dance performance on stage. The clip shows a woman performing some cultural dance on stage, when suddenly she’s interrupted by a stray dog, who enters the dais and chases her around.

The dog is seen sniffing, licking and jumping on the woman as she continues to groove. The canine even tries to follow her steps by holding her, getting up and moving around. The woman handles the interruption gracefully and improvises her steps accordingly by hugging the dog and using it as a prop.

This intrusion by dog goes on for a minute before it is cut short by an organizer who draws away the attention of the animal. Sidetracked, the dog eventually gets off the stage.


The video was posted by a Twitter handle with the caption that reads, “Dog invades stage of cultural presentation.” The video instantly went viral and amassed over 1.5 million views and 38 thousand likes.


As the dog clearly steals the show, grabbing all the limelight, the way the woman maintains her composure amidst all that is happening around her and professionally goes about her performance bowled over the internet. Netizens were amazed how she was not distracted by the antics of the dog at all.

“She handled it beautifully,” quipped a user.


“I don’t know if I’m impressed with her not stopping the show or upset that she didn’t just stop for a second and pet the dog!” commented another user.
