I’ll never get enough of watching this man dance.

I have seen videos of him dancing with several different partners, and they are all obviously talented, but I watch mainly for him. I have never seen anyone more willing to be who he is. She brings the athleticism, and he brings the flavor.

Everytime I watch that 1st dance, I giggle... makes my day! He is a hoot!

What makes this even more special than it is, this routine is totally improved! They were both drawn randomly to dance together in this part of the competition. (The songs were random too).

John Lindo is one of the best leaders I have ever had the pleasure of dancing with. And Stephanie Batista is an amazing follower. This performance iS HOT!

Usually I watch the women but when John dances I only have eyes for him. That boy can dance!

I love this! It's a great example of how a bigger person can move with style & grace... being "light on their feet". Many smaller built people can't move like this guy. I really enjoyed watching this pair. They seemed very in tune with each other's movements. Very natural, not like they had to try to get it right. Bravo!

There's good reason why 8+ million folks have watched this video. One can see true dance "partnership" with each partner sensing where/what the other partner is thinking, and responding in the most expressive way. Both understand the feel and moves of the dance (West Coast swing) down to the slightest nuances which allows them to create spontaneously on the dance floor with whatever music is played. They dance TO the music as it plays. For those who don't have much experience with "couple" dance, this ability to sense the partner and dance "with them" (not just lead and follow), this is what takes the dance to the celestial level (the feeling is so wonderful it's off the charts). John and Stephanie "kill" this spontaneous, unchoreographed number, and the audience and the other competitors (in the background) know they are watching magic on the dance floor. John Lindo, Lord of the Dance. Stephanie Batista, Queen of the Dance. Such a pleasure to watch!

Stephanie did an amazing job of following John! Her reaction time was very fast.

The man can dance! Light on his feet, full of rythm.

Love John , what a great dancer and fun to watch ,,, thanks for the enjoyment

I've watched this video over 30 times and I'm amazed that this is not rehearsed it was as though the stars were aligned.

I have watched this atleast 100 times,never get tired of the power of these 2,awesome foot work and moves. :)

He is truly talented. You can also tell he really knows the music which adds to his ability to be a great leader. Amazing!

I never get tired of seeing this video.

Soooo good!!! I could watch this all day, just makes me happy. John is so charismatic.

I NEVER GET TIRED OF WATCHING THESE TWO. PERFECTION!!!

Everytime I see them my heart smiles with happiness

I’ve watched 271 various dance ‘contests’ or ‘demonstrations’ featuring all kinds of great talent but this.... this is the video I always come back to.

JOHN LINDO, 🌟🌟🌟 I wish he had been around my dancing years 😍 JOHN you are great 🌟🌟🌟

I've seen a lot of "not-so-thin" people who can dance very well. This guy (and his partner too) is just fantastic. And fabulous. Champions indeed

I have only seen this once. An.today I found it again and made me smile. Thank you.

so fun to watch, their sheer pleasure in dancing is a real treat for us to see

Ladies, we just love a guy who can lead...don't we? He's amazing! (shes great too!)

John Lindo has had some great partners but Stephanie Batista is my absolute favorite. She’s so talented, sassy, and her improvisations fit him perfectly.

So happy for this amazing couple! My late and beloved sister tried to teach me how to dance but I resisted her mightily! Finally made it onto the dance floor at 30 years of age with one beer in my hand and another on order. Great video of two people dancing as one!!!

This piece of artwork dancing proves you don't have to be a set weight to achieve anything in this life...well done this is incredible !

watching this over and over again. I love it! it looks like they're having so much fun and it's infectious!

What wonderful dancers and they really DO enjoy it...well done to both of them. Continue to move those legs and bring enjoyment to so many people xx

Love these two could watch all night..love the comedy parts they slip into their dance...

Love his sense of humour in the dance.

This is one of my favorite dance numbers out of all the great ones that he is in.

I like it to see him dance and it makes my day! He is wonderfull, Just can't seem to get enough...❤

I love dancing WCS, especially when the gentleman can lead. I felt every lead he gave her as if I were dancing with him myself. Judy Dennison

All I can say is WOW!!! Would love to dance with this man!!!

Mr. Lindo is moving so smartly, elegantly. The creativity !

I've watched this video over & over and it still has the ability to make me feel good 😏 they are amazing and so great together,sensuality is not about looks or size it is from within.

Он величайший импровизатор,а партнерши просто великолепны!!❤❤

I loooove this! It made my week!

i smiled all the way through this video. fantastic!!

Speechless, Amazing!!!!

after this, I don't have to go to the gym! I just want to groove like him! well done! very entertaining!

911 what's your emergency.. me: there's a guy committing arson...he's burning up the dance floor 💥💥

I love this video. Thank you keeping this available to watch.

Oh this is so good! Dang that guy can move!! Loved it laughed the whole time was so awesome

Still love watching this!!!

I don´t know if people know, but these are like jack and jill dances -- the partners are drawn - they are not partners in real life, each one is drawn from a piece of paper, and so is the music. This is all improv! Amazing...

I've watched each of them with different partners but.....they were the best partnership...:-)

🌹👏💃Bravissimo 🕺🏼👏🌹 This is proof that music fills our hearts bodies and soul’s.

The ladies must love dancing with him. He really lets them shine!

I could watch this all day......This couple is Fantastic......This is what Dancing is called.......Man.... Oh..... Man..... What a awesome show right here......Just Love it.......

I love them!

John Lindo is a sexy dancer. Obviously strong, so his partner, Stephanie Batista, could do some moves not every guy can handle. The couple compliment each other very well.

This was just flat out awesome.

Everything about this makes my heart sing~!

I soooooooo love this video!!!!!!!!!!!!!

quand la danse devient une telle connivence avec cette pincée d'humour coiffée par une technique parfaite...Merci!!

My ALL TIME FAVORITE west coast video 😍😍😍

Dayum this guy can dance !

I just love watching John Lindo dance but he only has that fantastic chemistry with certain lady dancers that make the routines so amazing, Stephanie Batista is one of those ladies. Absolutely awesome, could watch them all day x

Im adicted to this video🎉I have seen it so, so many times and it always gives me such a good vibe ❤

Dancin through life, what a wonderful way to spend your time.

I love this one so much!

JUST SO SMOOTH !!!

This is freaking awesome!!!!!

Smooth & Excellent partners...West coast here i come..Smile

I think you guys are AWESOME!! SZUPER!!

Still the best. Haven’t watched this in years 😁

One of my all time favorite dances.

I never thought swing could get any better!

I love u John!!! You're great!!!

What fun and Great dancing together , keep going

Who is watching this in 2021? Me!!!! Multiple times!!!

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS!!!

There's a man having waaaay too much fun! Love it!! *[:o)*

One for the big guys. So well done. Great job...

What a pleasure to watch these two

Everyone is focusing on the heavy guy because he is that damn good, even though she is also sexy and amazing. This makes me happy.

Love to watch him dance.

So many of these comments are so surprising to me, even the ones that say "wow big guy can dance who'd'a thunk it". John's been a champion-level WCS dancer for a long time, so anyone who knows anything about the dance stopped being shocked by his size back in the 90s. I'm a Lindy Hopper and John Lindo was the first WCS dancer I saw (in probably 2001) that made me not totally hate the dance. I guess my point is, I don't understand why anyone has to comment on his size/weight at all.

Love this man!!!

Quisiera tener apenas una fracción del carisma que tiene ese hombre... increible!

I love this

Just stunning!!!!!!!!!!!
