I was at this competition in 84’, I competed for many years and owned my own dance studio at one time. Sadly some of these great dancers are no longer with us. RIP Ron and Chris.

This is the great pleasure to watch it ☺ How dance technique has been changed during last 37 years 😁

[@TheAverageNomadDanceVideos]

I totally agree!

[@designertjp-utube]

Agreed. I'm convinced the glitz shiny sparkly crap on the outfits are left over relics from the #Disco Era. By the 2020's, we easily see Latin Ballroom Dancers "eyeing each other" more closely & intimately. Many of these 1984 Dancers appear to watch the audience crowd to see if they just saw (the move) this dancer did. I may further dance theorize that, since the Movie *"The* *Matrix"* _(with its revolutionary slo-mo bullet time effects)_ hadn't debuted yet, the 1984 Generation Dancers here haven't yet learned to "slow down" and enjoy/grip/hold/seize the intimate moment with their Superb Dance Partner. _Here in __#Hollywood__ there's a Club if you would like to go._

Как же весело на это смотреть в 2021 году )

[@TheAverageNomadDanceVideos]

я согласен 🙂

[@valeriaamorim8369]

Como sou do Brasil, posso afirmar com precisão que não seria Samba , mas independentemente disso, a dança é uma arte incontestável, dessa forma ... BRAVO, BRAVISSIMO ... 👏👏👏👏

Who won

[@herbertlongfellow7702]

Is that Juliette Prowse?

[@brockertteambrockert]

yes. She hosted for a few years here and at Ohio Star Ball

[@juneseghni]

Paso Doble? You know Paso Doble? Sadly it's the costumes, since the film Strictly Ballroom came out it's hard to take it seriously. But I really came here to see Shirley Ballas , the head judge of BBC Strictly Come Dancing in 2023

[@christianorsos]

How come Donnie Burns not here?

[@TheAverageNomadDanceVideos]

🤷🏻‍♂

[@brockertteambrockert]

One year he stepped out to give Sammy a chance but I really can't remember what year that was
