A cop took part in his daughter’s dance routine to the tune of Bonnie Tyler’s I Need A Hero after her upcoming performances were cancelled because of coronavirus. Lieutenant Tyler Kroenke, 31, of the Nebraska State Patrol danced with his daughter Miela, six, while still dressed in his police uniform – and a cape and mask

Lieutenant Kroenke said that he spent roughly one hour a day for about a week learning his daughter’s routine.

Miela had been set a challenge by her dance studio, Wahoo Dance Academy, to teach one of her parents to dance following the news that her season had been cancelled.

And Lieutenant Kroenke didn’t disappoint.

In the video, shot by his wife, Ainslee, he matched Miela almost step for step – although the six-year-old jibed, ‘He did well, except for his toe points.’

Lieutenant Kroenke said: ‘It felt great being able to do something for my daughter that made her and the whole family laugh and smile.

‘Dance is Miela’s favorite thing in the world, so for her season to get postponed, was really devastating to her – it was the least I could do.

‘We had a great time performing the dance, but she was a tough coach and demanded perfection.

‘It’s been crazy how many times it has been viewed and shared.

‘I will really surprised that almost all of the comments have been nothing but positive.

‘Even at my work, everyone has said how it made them laugh or smile and that they really needed to see it.

‘A lot of other girl dads have gave me a hard time saying, ‘Thanks a lot – now my kid wants me to do a dance video.’
