Default Dancing man

On two occasions over the last year my wife and I have had the privilege of seeing a certain man dancing at Spanish Springs. He jumps in the air and spins, has crazy footwork, and we even saw him drop straight to the concrete and catch himself and spin around with one hand on the ground and only his feet touching. We normally don't stay too long at the town squares, but we could sit and watch him for hours. Others were cheering him on and hollering for more.

Does anyone know who I am talking about? With such a flare for dancing, he must be pretty well known in TV. Don't miss him if you happen to be there when he is dancing. It's quite a show.

I have seen him also at both squares. He sure does draw a crowd and having the time of his life dancing. It really is alot of fun watching him enjoy himself. Have you seen his dance routine with the large white hankerchief? He is quite the dancer and impeccably dressed too!

I'm not sure of his age. If I had to guess, I would say he is in his 70's.

Does anyone know if he seems to have a regular schedule or follow certain singers? I would love for company to see him the next time we have some.

If you haven't watched him dance, you've missed something great.

Smile Dancing Man

His name I believe is Paul and he does not even live in The Villages, he drives some 50-60 miles just to be here for a good time.

It seems that Paul should just quit dancing for a few minutes and waltz over to the sales office.

No. I don't work for the Villages.
No. I am not or never have been a realtor.
No. I am not an English Major.

Default Paul

Yes that's Paul from Homosassa (I think). The Daily Sun did an article about him a year ago.
