Jason Momoa is proving that he has no trouble busting a move as he keeps up with his daughter's dance routine.

The Aquaman star took to Instagram to share videos of himself learning Dua Lipa's Don't Start Now dance, choreographed by his 15-year-old daughter, Lola Lolani Momoa. 

In the first clip the 43-year-old actor is seen on the set of his latest movie, Slumberland, alongside his co-star, Marlow Barkley (13). Jason and Marlow, who are dressed as their characters Flip and Nema, are spotted learning the dance on the back of a blue garbage truck.

"My baby girl and @marlowbarkley teaching us a @dualipa dance," he captioned the slide.

In the next video the trio are seen dancing outside while Jason's son, Nakoa-Wolf (13), stands off to the side holding the phone that's playing the music.

Jason managed to keep up with the girls, perfecting each dance step and singing along.

He also posted a picture of himself and Marlow dancing between two trailers and in the caption thanked the cast and crew of the film as well as the girls for teaching him how to dance.

"P.S. The rest is my trying to hide from Marlow so I had enough energy to make this crazy movie. Getting old," he added.

In his new Netflix fantasy film the actor plays an eccentric outlaw named Flip who helps a young child (played by Marlow) visit her dead father by travelling through dreams.

Jason, who split from his actor wife Lisa Bonet in January, recently attended the LA premiere with both Lola and Nakoa in tow.

"I've got to tell you, to play in this role really unlocked a lot of things for me," he says. "I actually got to watch it with my children yesterday and with Marlow and her family. It's weird when you tear up watching your own stuff."

She also shared how her dance was used in the film.

“Me and my friends choreographed a dance routine to Don’t Start Now by Dua Lipa and then my dad loved the dance so he put it in the movie," she says.

According to her dad, Marlow also loved the dance, and adding it to the film in just made sense.

“We put it in like a little dream sequence,” he says proudly.
