Eric Cavanaugh’s elegant moves have resonated with people and his YouTube and Instagram videos have gained thousands of views. His videos are flooded with praise for his role in encouraging others to dance regardless of their size.

The dancer from Pittsburgh wants to show people that dancers come in multiple sizes and that dreams are possible as long as you work towards them.

He uploaded a video to Ellentube, in the hopes of getting invited to the Ellen DeGeneres show. “One of my biggest goals in life is to meet and dance for Ellen,” Cavanaugh wrote on the video.

Mr Cavanaugh encourages his viewers to follow their passion. Passion can outweigh anyone’s perception, he wrote.
