From the very first moment that John and Jessica are introduced onto the dance floor their smiles do not leave their faces.

Their happiness is contagious and a joy to watch.

John and Jessica move with grace and ease on the dance floor.

They make very complicated dance moves look as easy as 1,2,3.

It only makes sense that John and Jessica move with such happiness and ease, they have both been swing dancing for years.

These two each have a long dance history on their own and adding them together is like creating dance magic!

John spins Jessica around the dance floor like he was born to spin her, but John is on double duty in this dance.

While he is moving Jessica around the dance floor with ease, he is also breaking out in his own impressive moves too!

This is one dance that you might catch yourself watching multiple times.

During the first watch you will become transfixed on one of them that you realized you missed a lot of the other dancer’s moves.

You will want to hit replay to watch the other dancer because their dance is so fun and they equally have such a presence in the dance.

One viewer commented,

“He’s going to be the guy who helps me convince my husband to learn to dance.”
