Spring Garden Street is certainly no Times Square, meaning Anthony Lloyd is usually the only act performing outside the Silk City Diner on the corner of Fifth Street – sans intoxicated bar patrons bringing their drunken antics out onto the street. 

Lloyd, who is known by locals and commuters for frequently dancing on the Spring Garden median with a pair of headphones providing his soundtrack, is the subject of a new mini documentary of sorts.

Published to YouTube in May, the interview — cut with b-roll of him busting his moves — reveals two interesting tidbits about Lloyd:

  1. While he'll take donations, the dancing seems to be done mainly out of pure joy.
  2. People can be terribly mean. Cursing out or throwing water at a street performer? That's low.
