Utah Jazz dancer, Danielle Bush, was caught by surprise during a basketball half-time break, after the choreography she had rehearsed suddenly changed in the middle of the performance.
Although the dancer did her best at improvising, she seemed lost and for an entire 20 seconds, was trying to make sense of what was going on before realising what was really happening.
It turned out that her fellow dancers had prepared a heartwarming surprise for her.

During the performance, the song was changed to 'Marry You' by Bruno Mars and the dancer then realised that she was about to receive a proposal from her significant other.
KSL News reported that the proposal had been rehearsed and planned, unbeknownst to Danielle, by her boyfriend Brandon who had asked for the help of dance director, Ashley Kelson.
He said:
"I wanted to make it big and special for her for sure. Making it a part of the routine was so much fun."
During a rehearsal, Kelson had arranged for Bush to attend a community event so that the dancers could prepare the alternative performance. The dancers only had one rehearsal for the alternative routine, and it turned out flawless.
He noted:
"It was an honor to plan with Brandon and be a part of their special moment and just proud of my team for keeping it a surprise. It definitely was a team effort."
