Ava Kirby and her dad Diarmaid doing the Baby Shark Dance.

Kilbeggan five-year-old and her dad's cute Baby Shark Dance goes viral.

A heart warming video of a Kilbeggan five-year-old and her dad doing the Baby Shark Dance has gone viral raking up over 160,000 views.

Little Ava Kirby is a big fan of the Baby Shark Dance, an Indonesian made YouTube video and song which is a big hit with children around the world. In recent weeks thousands of people have posted their own versions of the dance online, but few have been as big a hit as the Kirbys'.

Ava got her dad Diarmaid to join her for her version and the very cute video has gone down a storm online, thanks to the young star of the show. Posted on Saturday the duo's performance is well on its way to 200,000 views.

Proud dad Diarmaid said that Ava, who is starting primary school next week, is a born performer.

“She's mad into singing and drama and is a real candidate for Billy Barry. She wanted me to do it with her and I'd do anything for my kids.

Diarmaid is launching his own business next Saturday, TS Life, a weight management and well being company, and says that working for himself means that he is able to do things like this with his children.

“I expected that it might get 1,000 views on my Facebook profile but it sort of took off when the Irish Mirror put it on their website and now it is starting to hit off in the USA.”
