Apparently mismatched dance duo rock the 2017 Grand Nationals Carolina Classic dance competition.
The audience at the Nationals Carolina Classic dance were startled when the dance duo comprised by Sam West and Autumn Jones stepped onto the dance floor.
What surprised people was that West appeared to be twice Jone's age, and immediately they felt he would not be up to scratch as "old man".
Then the first chords of Jerry Lee Lewis' “Pink Cadillac” revealed their huge mistake. The moment was captured on video and posted on YouTube/Bruce Gleason where it garnered over 2,000,000 views.
