A man who was shot six times in the Pulse nightclub massacre but survived has danced for the first time since that horrific night.
Former Zumba instructor Angel Colon was left for dead on the floor of the site of the country's worst mass shooting but after weeks of recovery, he is walking again - and dancing at a Zumba Instructor Network conference in Orlando on Thursday.
Colon sat in a chair on stage as he and a Zumba instructor busted some moves to the Jennifer Lopez and Lin-Manuel Miranda song released for the Pulse victims called 'Love Make the World Go Round.'
Before the dance, Lopez sent a message to Colon saying 'Stand tall, Angel, and dance, dance as the world is watching.'
Colon was also reunited onstage with Omar Delgado, the police officer who dragged him from the carnage.

'That second that you moved and I just happened to look your way, it created a bond between you and me,' Delgado told Colon. 'We will always be brothers and no matter how long it takes for you to get well, I'm going to be by your side.'
'I am amazed and so proud of you, how much you've developed, and how much progress you've done walking here,' he said.
Colon, who was shot six times by Omar Mateen, who killed 49 people and injured 53, said he 'played dead' to survive the killings.
'I just there laying down, I’m thinking, ‘I’m next, I’m dead,'' Colon said during a press conference shortly after the massacre. 'I don’t know how, but by the glory of God, he shoots toward my head but it hits my hand. And he shoots me again and hits the side of my hip.'
The Zumba Instructor Network said it is going to pay Colon's rent and physical therapy for the next year, according to the Orlando Sentinel.
