Willem De Vries - Same-Sex Competitive Salsa Dancer Extraordinaire | LatiNation

We have an amazing story of a man who was once a champion competitive ballroom dancer, only to have doctors tell him he would never dance again after he was involved in a major car accident. But Willem DeVries found a way to persevere despite the seemingly catastrophic set back. What the professional dancer did is go from mixed gender dance pairing, where he needed to carry his female partner, to same sex dance competitions, allowing him to take on the traditionally female dance positions, which did not require heavy lifting with his injured arm. That move not only gave him a chance to continue his passion for ballroom dancing, it also catapulted him to shows like So You Think You Can Dance, along with world championships in same sex dance competitions. Trust me, this is a story you will only find on LatiNation.
