Sometimes we make snap judgments about people based upon how they look. We know we shouldn\u2019t, we try not to, but sometimes we still do. Just ask dancer John Lindo.<\/p>\n
When you first look at John, you probably wouldn\u2019t immediately think he\u2019s a dancer. He is tall and admits he\u2019s heavy. He\u2019s heard some people say he was too heavy to be taken seriously in the dance world. But rather than let other people\u2019s first impressions of him bring him down, John has taken it as a challenge. He focused his energy on becoming a dancer\u2013and wow, has he succeeded.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s been more than two decades since John started swing dancing. He has competed and won numerous competitions, including the U.S. Open. And when he takes the stage with his partner Deborah Szekely, no force on earth can stop them.<\/p>\n
The entire floor goes silent the moment the two start performing. You can tell by the ease in Lindo\u2019s moves and the happiness in his face that he was born to dance. And he\u2019d never stop regardless of whether anyone believes he is a dancer or not.
