95-year-old lives dream of dancing with Marc Anthony at Orlando concert
95-year-old Felicia Rodríguez González still can’t believe she got to dance with Marc Anthony at Orlando’s Amway Center.
With a huge smile, “Fela” took the stage Saturday and swayed her hips as the audience erupted in screams and applause. The artist helped her make a few turns before giving her a big hug.
“I have a new crush,” Marc Anthony said.
The Puerto Rican singer spotted Fela’s pink poster in the crowd.
“Fela’s Bucket List. She is 95 years old, survived Hurricane Maria, survived COVID and wants to dance with Marc,” the sign read.
“Fela, voy, pa’allá voy,” Marc said as he pointed to the corner where the fan was standing. I’m coming over there.
“He is very Puerto Rican, and so am I. When he he sings “Preciosa” I feel so identified. It’s like that hymn to our Puerto Ricanness. It is what I have experienced in these years that I have had to be away from my island,” she said excitedly.
