Move over, Daniella Karagach. There’s a new queen of the air walk, and she’s not even potty-trained yet.

In a 27-second Instagram reel that has already racked up 28 million views in under 12 hours, Dancing with the Stars pro Pasha Pashkov and his two-year-old daughter Nikita have officially dethroned the most iconic move of Season 33. The tiny tot, dressed in a miniature sparkly fringe dress and teeny tiny dance heels (with Velcro, because safety), recreated Daniella Karagach and Dwight Howard’s viral “floating across the floor” illusion with such flawless form that the entire DWTS cast, crew, and half of Hollywood are openly weeping in the comments.
Pasha, 38, hoists little Nikita horizontally at waist height while she extends her arms like an absolute pro, pointed toes sharper than some adults manage after ten years of ballet. Then, with the steadiest core control you’ve ever seen on a human who still needs help wiping, Nikita “walks” through the air while Pasha glides backward across their living room floor. The illusion is so seamless that for a solid three seconds you forget physics exists.
The internet has officially short-circuited.
Daniella Karagach herself commented in all caps: “I’M UNEMPLOYED 😭👑 SHE DID IT BETTER THAN ME”
Dwight Howard wrote: “Bro she beat both of us and she can’t even reach the fridge”
Witney Carson: “I’ve been trying to teach my 6-year-old this for months. I’m quitting.”
Emma Slater: “Those toes should be illegal before the age of three.”
Rylee Arnold dropped seventeen crying emojis and then simply: “I can’t.”
Even judge Carrie Ann Inaba reposted it to her 1.2 million followers with the caption: “10-10-10 and an extra 10 for the bow at the end. Nikita, call me when you’re 18.”
The video ends with the toddler landing in a perfect straddle split on the carpet (yes, an actual split), blowing a kiss to the camera, and declaring in the world’s squeakiest voice: “I win the mirrorball, Daddy!”
Pasha, trying (and failing) to hold back tears, whispers, “Yes you do, baby girl. Yes you do.”
The original Karagach/Howard air walk from Week 4 had been crowned the undisputed “move of the season,” a gravity-defying masterpiece that broke the internet and forced the show to add an extra 30 seconds to the replay package because the audience screamed too loud. It currently sits at 62 million views on the official DWTS TikTok.
Nikita’s version just passed 30 million and climbing.
Sources inside the DWTS rehearsal studio say the pros are now half-joking, half-terrified that producers are considering a “Toddler Week” next season. “They keep muttering about ratings,” one insider laughed. “If a two-year-old in pigtails can get 30 million views in a day, we’re all doomed.”
Pasha’s wife, DWTS pro Daniella Karagach (who was literally in the room filming the whole thing), can be heard off-camera yelling, “That’s my baby! That’s my little superstar!” before bursting into proud-mom sobs.
As of this morning, #NikitaForSeason34 is trending worldwide, complete with fan edits superimposing the toddler’s face onto the actual mirrorball trophy.
Someone even started a petition for ABC to let her lift the Len Goodman Trophy at the finale. It’s at 87,000 signatures and counting.
So yeah… the most legendary move of the season has been dethroned. By a two-year-old who still takes two naps a day and thinks “pas de deux” is French for “more cookies.”
Dancing with the Stars returns Monday. Good luck topping that, pros.
