She gets it from her mama! It's hard to believe how fast time is passing, but Marc Anthony and Jennifer Lopez's daughter is ready for the stage. Little Emme just proved that she's taking after her famous parents and already is a star. It's clear that she got the dancing gene from her mother and is now teaching her superstar dad some moves.

Marc shared a clip on his Instagram Story on Thursday, June 7, of Emme teaching him the steps for the floss dance, a move that was a massive internet sensation and went viral last year. The dance consists of a person swinging their arms left to right in a swift motion while the rest of their body stiffly moves in the opposite direction.
Backpack Kid, who became an overnight sensation and the go-to person for the dance move, appeared on Saturday Night Live in August 2017 alongside Katy Perry and the dance exploded nationwide. Now nearly a year later, the salsa singer took on the move with the help of his 10-year-old daughter. And it was not an easy feat.
Emme is already a pro.
She showed her dad how it should look, while wearing an adorable pink unicorn shirt. Marc watched at her intently trying to pick up the move.
Marc quickly realized that the dance was not as simple as it looked.
Emme slowed down the move so that her dad could observe it step by step. She broke it down and showed him the correct arm placement, but Marc was still seemingly not getting it.
After plenty of practice, the “Vivir Mi Vida” singer finally nailed it!
He posted a video of himself doing the move along with his daughter, and revealed how tired he was after. “This is exhausting!!!! I DID IT!!!! After 2 hours. Thanks Emme❤️, feels like our new generation! Wooohoooo. What a blast. #FAMILYFIRST,” he said in the Instagram clip. “Check the learning lesson in my IG story.”
His bond with Emme is the sweetest.
Marc, who doesn’t generally share photos with his children on Instagram, recently shared another adorable pic with Emme. The pair were cuddling in the black-and-white snap and he captioned it: "I don't know where you end and I begin Emme!!"
She’s daddy’s little girl.
Emme can even get away with painting her daddy’s nails with pink nail polish as seen in an Instagram post from February 2017.
Emme & her twin brother, Max, recently turned 10!
The two children have grown up in the public eye and they recently celebrated their 10th birthdays in February. Marc and J. Lo were married from 2004 to 2014 and welcomed the twins in 2008. Marc is also a dad to three other children—Christian, Ariana and Ryan—from previous relationships.
While Max & Emme aren’t seen on their dad’s Instagram, mom J.Lo keeps fans up to date.
The singer shared adorable videos of her babies for their 10th birthdays and thanked them for changing her life forever. “you healed my soul and rejuvenated my existence… you taught me about love and life and myself in a way I never imagined,” she captioned the sweet clip.
Max & Emme know all about blended families.
Since the superstars’ divorce, the children have been adapting to their new lives as their parents dated other people. They are often seen in photos hanging out with mom’s boyfriend Alex Rodriguez and previously with Marc’s ex-wife, Shannon De Lima. The pair got married in 2014 and called it quits in 2017.
They love their dad.
