Rick Valenzuela one of the best dancers ever in history

@@christianorsos I agree 100%. He was my coach 1980-82.

[@christianorsos]

@@andidance Do you know if he still teaches or coaches somewhere? There’s no current info about him, he disappeared apparently

[@brockertteambrockert]

@@christianorsos Rick passed away quite a few years ago. If I can find the obituary I will post it. I have it noted on one of my videos, maybe this same one. But I can't find it because I don't remember what I titled it.

Those BIG FELT NUMBERS.

[@TheAverageNomadDanceVideos]

Yeah, that's hilarious 😝

[@brockertteambrockert]

Yes, so huge! And we had to deposit 5.00 to replace them if we forgot to turn them in afterward. It was that way at all the comps then.
