Providence residents know that one unmistakable mark of the Holiday Season, right along with A Christmas Carol at Trinity Rep and ice skating at the rink downtown, is the appearance of the one and only Dancing Cop.
I love to see how people can be creative in the most unexpected ways, and Tony Lepore is pretty unexpected. He's a guy who decided to bend the rules, get creative with a boring task at work, and has now entertained the people of Providence for over 25 years.
CBS Sunday Morning did a story on him last year - this is SO worth four minutes of your time:
The Dancing Cop kicks off his holiday tour TODAY at Weybosset & Dorrance from 12-1:30pm.
And here's the full list of his holiday schedule:
December 10 & 13, 12pm, Weybosset & Dorrance
December 14 & 15, 12pm, Broad & Sackett
December 16 & 17, 12pm, Smith Street & Academy Avenue
December 20 & 21, 12pm, Thayer & Angel
December 22 & 23, 12pm, De Pasquale Square & Atwells Avenue
December 24, 12pm, Dorrance & Westminister (this one's special because he'll be wearing a santa hat!)
Be sure to visit his website www.providencedancingcop.com to learn more about Tony and snag some Dancing Cop gear!
