“Judge me not by physical size or appearance, but judge me by the size of my character.” -Cornelius (Cory) L. Kilgore U.S ARMY
When you hear amazing stories about great dancers, you already have a picture in your mind, right? Well, this story will teach us to never assume and to never judge.
John Lindo might not look like your average swing dancer, but be ready to be amazed with his story.
John Lindo can be described as big, tall, and handsome but one thing’s for sure; many will comment that he doesn’t have the required body shape or size to be a professional dancer.
FYI, John Lindo is in fact a professional dance instructor, a judge, coach and Liberty Swing Dance Championships Event Director.
For years, Lindo has been showing his amazing dancing skills that leaves his audience mesmerized by his talent. He knows more than a thing or two about swing dancing because he has been hitting the dance circuit for more than 20 years. He may not look like the typical swing dancer but in this field, he’s a champion.
We may have seen his new videos but this one is quite special and surely, once you have watched this video, you’ll want to play it again and again.
We can’t get enough of this amazing dancer!
In the very special video, Lindo is participating in the famous North Atlantic Dance Championship’s West Coast Swing Jack & Jill competition way back in 2008. The video is old but is considered a classic!
Jack and Jill competitions is a fun contest were dancers get assigned random partners and from there, they have to dance spontaneously to the music – no practice, just pure talent!
We all have to agree how hard this task is, you need to learn how to work with your partner and come up with a dance routine that is flawless and enjoyable – clearly, these two nailed it!
Not everyone can ‘connect’ with their partner this fast, and be able to dance while complementing your partner’s moves as well. Most of the time, we’d see that each dancer competing and not working together.
If you’re not familiar with the rules, you’d even think that these two rehearsed this number!
Not only has this dance floor genius won numerous Swing dancing competitions, but he is also a very well-known dance instructor, choreographer and competition judge.
Seeing him dance like this should surely convince many to enroll in his school.
John totally steals the show with his charming personality, amazing dance moves, and that smile that radiates positivity and enjoyment.
Lindo was paired with Deborah Szekely and you guessed it right, they won the competition!
With his talent, his passion for dancing, his graceful moves and that charming personality – John Lindo deserves his fame!
They didn’t just do a good job entertaining the spectators at the competition; they are stealing the hearts of many as their YouTube video is being shared thousands of times already.
