WEBSTER, Texas -- Coffee is always brewing inside this Starbucks and so are the laughs, thanks to Eric Calderon, a barista that loves to dance as customers drive through.

"I kind of just let the music take control of my body and that determines what's happening," Calderon said.

There was a lot happening in this video posted to Facebook on Sept. 8 by Robert Ashwander. Calderon decided to shake more than some iced coffee.

"I came from the front and just started going at it," Calderon said. "Doing crazy things and spinning. The whole nine yards."

The video of Calderon dancing to The Weeknd’s "Can’t Feel My Face" went viral quickly.

"Guys don't dance like this usually," Calderon said. "It's so ridiculous."

Calderon's been on the job for only four months, but he's already turned into an Internet sensation.

"I was getting phone calls and messages as it was going viral," Calderon said.

One of those calls came from the Ellen Show. The host who loves to dance wanted to see his moves in person. But work was so busy that day, he couldn't take the call. And they haven't called back.

Customers can't get enough of their local barista and his unusual coffee-making antics.

"That's the real payoff," Calderon said. "When customers get involved and we're just joking around with each other."
