Great for him! To be able to dance, feel it, do double spins.

[LadyDeerskin]

did it ever occur to you that the reaon people begin and continue to dance is because it makes them happy? that dance is an expression of happiness and freedom? this man can do more with his one arm and leg that 99% of people with the usual alottment of limbs

i lived next door to this man till the day he died.... he was a great neighbor!

TV is all about exploitation. How is this any different from the norm?

I think that people are just uncomfortable watching an amputee DANCE!

Dance on!

This is awesome....why am I now hearing about him.

[freddiekarlbom]

Man, so inspiring. I couldn't spin like that without losing balance and I've got two legs. Also; he is tapping while doing it!

[bluesborn]

exploit yourself?what are you talking about man?This guy is fabulous and truly inspiring.

[ohgoodlord]

It's kinda fucked up huh... and the fact that he's black is just the icing on the cake. Weird.

[rustyboy12198]

Iam a amputee and this is very hard to do...BUT I would never exploite myself like this.

[natamil]
