    Dancing Cop Tony Lepore Directs Traffic, Gets His Groove On

    Officer Tony Lepore is a holiday tradition in downtown Providence, Rhode Island. The police veteran comes out of retirement every year for one reason and one reason only: To direct traffic. While dancing.

    "He is a Rhode Island landmark, more or less. He's an icon, he's like a little mini celebrity," Michelle Peterson, an emergency medical technician who lives in Warwick, Rhode Island, told The Associated Press. "It feels good to see him out here; it definitely brings the holiday spirit." Karen DeAngelis, of Pawtucket, who got off the bus she was riding to see Lepore perform, says she would make the trip to Providence every year to see him if she could. "I'm not able to, and I just so happened to be here today. He's that good and he's that entertaining, and he really cheers people up." We have to admit, we'd risk a jaywalking ticket to get a closer look. -- By Lylah M. Alphonse, Senior Editor, Yahoo! Shine.

      He makes it look easy, but Lepore pays a stiff price for his holiday antics. He tells the Associated Press that he has had knee surgery, pulled some muscles, and even suffered stress fractures from his dance moves.
