Carlos’ dancing has long been a hot topic even before Paris 2024. From weddings to TikToks with his girlfriend Chloe San Jose, his dance moves are just as cheer-worthy as his gymnastic performances. From body rolls to Maybe This Time choreography, he’s down to dance anything, and each video makes our day every time.

Taking his dancing skills to TikTok, Carlos is now a frequent dancer on the platform, often seen with Chloe, who remains the TikTok expert between them. “First official dance cover ng sonny angel ko na yarnnn!!!” Chloe writes under the Havana dance TikTok they posted, using the hilarious nickname people have used to refer to the gymnast.
