Catherine Zeta-Jones is a "dance mom".
The ‘Mask of Zorro’ star was joined by her husband Michael Douglas as they cheered on their 12-year-old daughter Carys at a performance in a charity gala.
Speaking to the crowd, she said: "I have a confession to make … As I tell the truth for the first time in public, I am a dance mom. And I’m proud of it! And I’m proud to share it with you.
"And I love being a dance mom. I have to say I see it first-hand as my daughter partakes in the NYC Dance Alliance workshops … and I love to watch those kids, and I love to see what they get, the nurturing, the fantastic amount of talented teachers."
And the 46-year-old star – who also has 15-year-old son Dylan with Michael, 71 – has admitted she was "nervous" ahead of her daughter’s performance.
She told PEOPLE magazine: "Mommy gets nervous for her. That’s the way it goes these days: I get really nervous and she breezes through it. The way that my mom used to do for me … it all comes around …
"It feels great, because I love the dancer’s life. It’s been so good to me, and she’s really passionate about it … It’s healthy competition and it really is the best tuition, the best training, coupled with what it is to have team spirit and work together and be kind to people."
