A Christmas nativity play takes an unexpected turn as a little angel steals the show with a surprise dance.
The Christmas nativity play at church takes us back to sweet memories of our childhood. Many of us remember the excitement of putting on angel wings or shepherd’s robes, ready to tell the story of Jesus’ birth through song and scripture.
Little Girl Dancing in Nativity Play
At a church in Porter, Indiana, young Isabella Webb turned a traditional Christmas play into something extra special. As the choir sang ‘O Come, All Ye Faithful’, the timeless carol written by John Francis Wade in 1744, Isabella began to move in an unexpected way.
Isabella’s mother Leslie watched with joy as her daughter, dressed in a white angel costume, began to dance right in the middle of the performance.
While the other children stood still in their roles as shepherds and angels, Isabella moved with natural enthusiasm, letting the music guide her steps.
The moment became even more special when the choir reached ‘O Come Let Us Adore Him’. Isabella, caught up in the music, started swaying and moving to the beautiful hymn.
Her fellow cast members kept their positions, but Isabella just kept dancing, following her own joyful rhythm.
When the video of Isabella’s dance made its way online, it touched people’s hearts everywhere. More than 8 million viewers have watched this little angel express herself in her own unique way.
Isabella’s unplanned dance routine added something special to the nativity scene. While these plays usually focus on telling the story of Christ’s birth, her spontaneous movement reminded everyone about the simple happiness of Christmas.
