Video: Meet the 15th-and-Ingra dancer

Andrew Kerosky has been dancing on the sidewalk near 15th Avenue and Ingra Street on Fridays since February 2006. Back then, his car broke down and he kept warm by dancing as he waited for a ride. That started a tradition that has inspired mostly positive -- but some negative -- reactions from passers-by.
