Kristina Rihanoff shares adorable clip of mini-me daughter

Could two-year-old Mila prove to be part of Strictly Come Dancing’s next generation?

| Updated:

It looks as if the daughter of Strictly Come Dancing star Kristina Rihanoff could soon be following in her mum’s dancesteps.

Russian ballroom pro Kristina, 41, shares two-year-old Mila with partner Ben Cohen, who she danced with on the 2013 series of the BBC favourite.

The pair have wasted little time in encouraging Mila to follow the family tradition and have apparently signed the tot up for dancing lessons. But who better to teach her than her mum?

In an adorable clip shared with Kristina’s thousands of Instagram and Twitter followers, Mila – looking very smart in a white blouse and pink skirt – appears to do a very small curtsy.

“My little dancer is ready for the class!” Kristina coos in the caption.

She also highlights how dance is helping her child’s development by hashtagging #confidence on the brief vid.

Fans were very impressed by young Mila, who could eventually prove to be part of Strictly’s next generation.

“She looks really cute in her dress and she definitely looks ready for dance class!” commented one Instagram user.

Another added: “She’s very sweet.”

And another fan on Twitter joked Mila would be part of the show “before we know it, just like her gorgeous mum.”

This isn’t Mila’s dancing debut on social media, however.

Just last week she joined in with her mum and grandma to shake it all out in another video distributed on Instagram.

“After teaching 10 lessons in London I’m happy to get back home and dance some more with my mum and Mila as this is what we do in the evenings,” Kristina remarked in the caption as her family bopped away.

Ten points from each of the judges!
