Couple earns a standing ovation from the crowd for their incredible swing dancing

Two swing dancers wowed the crowd as they moved to the beat of a Wild Cherry song at the USA Grand National Dance Championship.

Not a lot of people take swing dancing seriously, but this dancing couple begs to differ. Bryn Anderson and Ken Rutland brought their all during the competition held in 2017.

With their exceptional routine, it was no surprise that other competitors felt left behind by the pair.
