The holiday season is here, bringing with it a wave of joy, generosity, and festive celebrations.
In the midst of this wonderful time of the year, some individuals stand out with their unique and creative ways of spreading cheer.
One such person is Preston Leatherman, a Nashville resident whose enthusiasm and energy are simply contagious.
Preston Leatherman is not your average performer.
He has carved a niche for himself as an “iPod dancer,” captivating audiences with impromptu dance routines in public spaces.
His dance playlist includes hits like “Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go” and “Footloose.” The catch?
He’s the only one who can hear the music, thanks to his trusty earphones, making his performances a delightful surprise to onlookers.
In a special Christmas-themed performance, Leatherman chose to dance to a song perfect for the holiday season.
He glided and grooved through the Cool Springs Galleria and Green Hills Mall, moving rhythmically to Mariah Carey’s iconic “All I Want for Christmas Is You.”
This wasn’t just a funny dance; it was a tribute to the festive spirit.
He spread joy all through the mall.
In the video, Leatherman, donning a whimsically tacky Christmas sweater, suddenly breaks into dance as Mariah Carey’s voice fills his ears.
His unexpected performance catches shoppers off guard.
While some pass by unbothered, others can’t help but stop and smile at the unexpected burst of holiday spirit.
Leatherman’s dance knows no bounds.
He turns ordinary mall spaces – clothing racks, mannequin displays, benches, and store fronts – into his personal stage.
Each spot becomes a backdrop for his exuberant and joyful dance moves, much to the amusement of shoppers.
He took a page out of Buddy the Elf’s book (well, sorta).
Leatherman lives by a simple yet powerful philosophy: “The best way to spread Christmas cheer is by dancing in public for all to see.”
He believes in the uplifting power of dance, using it as a tool to bring smiles and joy to people during the holiday season.
His dancing has captured hearts online.
Leatherman’s unique approach to spreading holiday cheer has made him a hit on the internet.
His video has become a seasonal favorite, with viewers returning to it annually.
A person commented: “I watch this every year now. It always makes me smile. :)”
His ability to blend confusion with delight encourages even the most reserved onlookers to consider joining in the dance.
He’s a man of many talents.
Beyond his viral dance videos, Leatherman is a multifaceted creative.
He’s a director, producer, photographer, and an avid traveler.
His work in the music industry is notable, collaborating with award-winning artists and releasing his own music, further showcasing his diverse talents.
