A deeply disturbing incident at a Miami dance studio has triggered widespread outrage after surveillance footage surfaced showing a man sniffing and licking the spot where an underage girl had been sitting moments earlier. The video, first reported by TMZ, has been circulating across social media, prompting concern among parents and local authorities.

According to Miami Springs Police Chief Matthew Castillo, the owner of the dance studio contacted authorities late Tuesday night after reviewing the footage while closing the business. The video shows the young girl finishing her dance lesson and walking out. Within seconds, a man enters the studio, approaches the couch, bends down, and appears to sniff and lick the exact spot she had occupied only moments before.

Police say they were able to quickly identify the man seen in the footage, and they are currently working with prosecutors to determine whether criminal charges are appropriate.

The viral video has intensified discussions around child safety in public spaces, with many viewers online labeling the man’s actions as 'predatory' and demanding accountability. Commenters have also urged dance studios, gyms, and other similar facilities for minors to strengthen their security protocols, including better access control and increased staff vigilance.
