Dog Surprises Owner by Doing a Ballet Pose in Cute Video

In a world where dance is often seen as a human endeavor, one dog is shattering that notion by performing a move typically reserved for the ballet stage.

A recent TikTok video has gone viral, showcasing a dog executing a ballet pose, and it’s making people rethink what our furry friends are capable of.

Dachshund shows how arabesque is done in ballerina’s video

Mackenzie Davis, a professional dancer, decided to share their passion for ballet with an unexpected partner — their Dachshund. In a delightful twist, the dog embraced the challenge, mastering an arabesque with impressive skill.

For those unfamiliar, an arabesque is a classic ballet pose where one leg is extended behind the body. Known for its elegance and complexity, it’s a remarkable achievement for any dancer, let alone a dog.

The video features Davis guiding the Dachshund by pointing to his back leg and saying, “arabesque.” To the amazement of viewers, the pup lifts his back leg in a commendable attempt at the pose.

As a reward, he receives a treat and wags his tail with obvious pride. The caption humorously notes, “He’s coming for my job.”

The video has garnered over 300K views and 54K likes, with many commenters applauding the dog’s talent and enthusiasm. One user joked, “That dog does a better arabesque than me.”

Another suggested the dog might have a future at Juilliard. These reactions show how the video has sparked both amusement and admiration.

Many pet owners enjoy teaching their dogs tricks and commands, with basics like “sit” and “stay” being quite common.

However, some, like Davis, go a step further by exploring more creative tricks to expand their pet’s skill set. Dogs are generally eager learners, especially when motivated by positive reinforcement such as treats or affection.

This makes them excellent candidates for learning new skills. While most dogs might not be Juilliard-bound, this charming Dachshund has certainly raised the bar for pet tricks.
