The little girl, Aryaf, was seen standing alone at the center of the stage at Jawhrat Al-Marfa School, looking over at her classmates as they danced in pairs during a school ceremony.  

Her father, Ahmed Awad Al-Ghalilat, did not hesitate to run to the stage when he saw her dancing without a partner at a ceremony.

The father-daughter moment did not only receive applause and cheers from the school’s audience, but also won the hearts of thousands of social media users.


In an interview with Al-Arabiya, Ghalilat said his gesture was only meant to make his daughter happy.

“I saw that she was vulnerable and in need for support, so I went up to the stage to help her as much as I can.”

He added, “I forgot about the people, the stage, and the audience, and only thought of making my daughter happy,” adding that Aryaf is his eldest child and “first joy”.

On the video going viral, Ghalilat said his move received widespread admiration because it came from “a father who intervened to make my child happy.”
