We all know not to judge a book by its cover. That also means you shouldn’t judge a dancer by their appearance.

Even though most people expect dancers to be slender, they actually come in all shapes and sizes. Dancer John Lindo is perfect proof. He knows his strengths and talents, and he’s enjoyed proving dancer stereotypes wrong for decades.
This is John with one of his dancing partners.

His dancing success began in 1992 with country-western style, but he soon made his mark on the West Coast Swing circuit by capturing wins at a bunch of championships. In fact, during his numerous years of competitive dancing, he’s won first place at the U.S. Open, Grand Nationals, and the Phoenix Champion of Champions.

But those titles mean nothing to people who aren’t familiar with competitive dancing, which is why watching John is all you need to do to see just how incredible he is on the dance floor.
In the video below, he’s dancing with his partner Deborah Szekely.

The pair won first place in that competition thanks to their performance, and by the end of their routine, they had the entire room on their feet. It’s easy to see why, too. John can shake his hips and spin his partner faster and with more precision than we’ve ever seen.
