A doting father-of-three who went viral when he performed a ballet routine with his daughter has written a children's book about the experience. 

Marc Daniels, from Bermuda, stepped up on stage when his then two-year-old daughter Bella became anxious and scared during a dress rehearsal for her dance recital.

Carrying his youngest child in his arms, Marc pointed his toes and pirouetted while Bella danced in a tutu by his side. 

The clip, filmed in 2018, swept the internet and has inspired Marc, a barrister, to write a children's book, The Story of Daderina: The Daderina Series, about his special moment with his daughter. 

Recalling the event, Marc said: 'Bella was super excited to dance that day. She adored her costume. She loves to dress up so she was in her element. She kept talking about how much she wanted to dance on stage.

'On the drive to the theatre, we promised to buy the girls ice cream after they finished their dress rehearsal. Unfortunately, the pre-ballet class had to wait about an hour before it was their turn to go on stage.

'By that point, Bella was ready to leave because her mind was fixed on getting ice cream.

'She started to have a tantrum backstage and she was asking for her daddy. I was upstairs waiting in the lobby with our youngest child, Suri who was only 8 months old. The owner of the dance company came to me and told me that Bella was crying and that she wanted me to come downstairs to her.
