Each year, the strongest people from all around the world join together for the competition of World’s Strongest Man (WSM). Over the course of days, you’ll find these impressive athletes compete in some of the toughest challenges. This includes lifting absurdly heavy weights, pulling vehicles, and carrying large objects over long distances. If there’s a way to show off how insanely strong someone can be, odds are, they do it at WSM! But have you ever heard of a strongman being a ballroom dancer?

The WSM share all sorts of fun clips on social media, giving viewers a peak into their competitions. As you can image, their content can be quite shocking. But one video in particular is surprising for a unique reason. Rather than showcasing the kind of skills you’d expect at WSM, a competitor named Rosco chose to showoff a different side… watch for yourself in the video below.

That’s right — in addition to being a professional strongman, Rosco is also a ballroom dancer! Well, he used to be, anyway. But no matter how much time has passed since he’d regularly wear dancing shoes, it’s clear that he’s still got moves!
Strongman Surprises and Delights With Reveal That He Used to be a Ballroom Dancer
If you’re a dancer yourself, you might not be so surprised by this reveal. Strength, while different from the kind shown in WSM, is a key component in dancing. In fact, strength training is said to greatly benefit dancers. With that in mind, it seems that, in some ways, Rosco’s dancing days helped prepare him for WSM!
“I don’t think people realize how in shape you have to be to do ballroom dancing. The core strength you have to have is insane,” someone points out in the comments, with another adding, “Find you a man that can do both.”
