“Dance like no one is watching,” as the old saying goes … but what if everyone is watching and it’s the most incredible thing we’ve seen? Among the aggressive swans and questionable water quality, there is a gentleman who does laps around Orlando’s Lake Eola — not jogging, not walking, but dancing salsa flawlessly. He wears shorts and a tank top, and his thighs are incredible. He does not stop, his footwork flawless — at times, he’ll catch the eye of another Eola-circler, grab their hand and effortlessly lead them into the dance. Now that’s notable. We don’t know this man’s name (please identify yourself, you beautiful gazelle!), but he heartily deserves this award.
