Fake smile on child dancer

Is he smiling? Look again, his smile might begin to look very grim. "Ek pyar ka nagma hai" - they were dancing to that tune a few seconds back, but as I approached close enough, music subdued and they froze still. The boy kept his smile plastered for as long as I wanted to shoot. Experience has taught them standing still meant good pictures so better tips. I asked the kids why they weren't at school. The girl didn't seem to know what it meant. The boy kept his grin. The man providing the music (not in the picture) who I presumed was dad, wouldn't let the kids answer. "They go to school" he said. Soon even he couldn't answer simple school related questions.
