Prince Harry is giving a glimpse into what a good sport he'll be as a dad after he joined in a ballet class with young kids in London.

Harry, whose wife, Duchess Meghan, is expected to give birth this month to their first child, made a solo visit Wednesday to the YMCA South Ealing.

While watching students in a ballet class for kids ages four to six, Harry, 34, learned about the class's "ballet challenge," where students balance on one leg, according to reports.

The Duke of Sussex's visit to the YMCA was part of his continued efforts to raise awarneness about mental health. In 2016, Harry, his brother, Prince William, and sister-in-law, Duchess Kate, launched Heads Together, an initiative to change the conversation on mental health.
