An 8-month-old baby is already proving to be a double dutch prodigy with her rope-turning skills in a heartwarming video.

Phoenix Clark joined her mom, Michelle Clark, turning the ropes and the baby’s face lit up with joy as she moved the ropes along to the rhythm. The adorable moment was captured on video that has since gone viral.

Clark told "Good Morning America" that she owns a business called Double Dutch Aerobics with her husband, Sean Clark, in Atlanta, Georgia.

"Our children Sean jr. and Phoenix, they come with us to work every single day," Michelle Clark said. "If Phoenix gets a little fussy we actually put her on us and then we continue to work."

Michelle Clark added that when Phoenix starts crying, "we put her in and she stops crying."

Sean Clark described Phoenix as a little "fireball."

"She wants to grab everything, eat everything, be a part of everything," he added.

Their son, Sean Jr., who is almost 2 years old, also loves to double dutch with the family, his dad said.

Since the video has gone viral, "People have just stopped us in the street," to congratulate Phoenix on her viral fame, Sean Clark said.

Michelle Clark quipped that little Phoenix is "holding her own" in the family business by "helping with the marketing."
