In Remembrance to... Len Goodman the English professional ballroom dancer, dance teacher, and dance competition adjudicator. He appeared as head judge on the UK television programme Strictly Come Dancing, where various celebrities compete for the glitter ball trophy, from its beginning in 2004 until 2016 and on the U.S. television programme Dancing with the Stars from 2005 until 2022. (Born: 25 April 1944 - Died: 22 April 2023) 💐💙♥💜

[@philipbass9975]

Knew Len for 30 years through golf. He was exactly the same on and off the TV. A most charming and funny man who I was proud to call a friend. Was so happy for him with his deserved success fairly late in life. That was a beautiful tribute 😢

Just Beautiful Tribute! Made me cry more seeing Carrie Ann & Bruno crying & all the dancers looking towards them!!

[@GabGirl93263464]

The amount of times that I have watched this dance over and over and over again, just goes to show how much I love and respect the show, but have much more respect for the pros and for Len. You could really feel his presence during this performance, and just all the look on the pros faces, you could tell how much they all respected him, and how much love they had for them. But seeing Bruno‘s reaction really broke me. This is without a doubt one of the best performances I have ever seen on the show. Jenna and Val did an amazing, amazing job. Len would be so proud and he is watching from above and waving his 10 paddle. It was like I was lost in time for a minute. Beautiful beautiful.

[@dreamer4Jesus1]

I will never not cry when I see this dance. There aren't many words that need to be said. This was the level of perfection, grace, and artistry that Len strived to see in his students. He was a tough yet reasonable man who had a heart of gold. I grew up watching him, Carrie Ann, and Bruno and would always enjoy his blunt sense of humor. He was looking down at this performance with a proud smile on his face.

[@kristensullivan6873]

i have seen this dance 15 times and it makes me cry every time! he was a really good judge and really cared about everyone

[@christopherjames6602]

I’m going to miss seeing Len on the show: He’s the one that inspired me to pick up ballroom dancing as a hobby, which if you look around on KZbin you’ll find that one of Len’s wishes while being a judge on “Dancing with the Stars” was to encourage people to pick up ballroom dancing. I’m so thankful that I was able to be one of the few/many who watched the legendary judge for the majority of the seasons he was on the show, and I’m even more thankful, for Len’s ballroom dancing advice through the tv over the years up until he retired, which helped me become a better ballroom dancer back at home. I can’t wait to see what my ballroom dancing hobby has in store in the future and it’s all because of him that I even started the hobby in the first place. I’ll be continuing to dance ballroom not only for those who supported me in my life, as well as for myself, but I’ll also be doing it to continue his legacy and dream of, as he put it, “to inspire others to take it up (as well).”

[@patrickleclair7256]

This was just pure perfection. I’m sure Len would’ve been smiling from ear to ear watching this dance. When they shined the light on the empty seat and Len said, “All good things must come to an end”, I lost it. We miss you, Len! Rest in Peace! 🥺❤️

[@artlover842]

This was a wonderful tribute, i just realized that at the end of the dance where the light shining on the empty chair was len's spot, because it was just him, Carrie-ann and bruno before derek came. you can tell that it made Bruno heartbroken, seeing him crying over his friend was devastating, 💔😭they must have been good friends. Same with carrie-ann and Derek, they'd all lost a good judge and a good friend, and it must be hard for them to judge without Len, i must admit, DWTS just isn't the same with him. I can tell that he wanted to keep him being sick a secret from the rest so they wouldn't be sad, so saying that he wanted to retire was a good choice, Although Len keeps getting booed at whenever he starts judging, he also brings laughter in the ballroom, no one could ever take his place, I thank him for bringing laughter and tough love to the show for 17 years. Carrie-ann, Bruno, and derek was so blessed to had became forever friends with him. Len will always get a 10, he deserves it and much more. Rest easy Len Goodman🕊️💔😭🥀🙏

Clean, classic, pure, unadulterated ballroom dancing. There is no other way to tribute the late Len Goodman. Growing up as a kid watching DWTS I always saw him as the mean judge.

Len was the show. And the show was Len. Thank your for being in people’s homes and bringing the Len. We the fans will love and miss you. The show won’t be the same without you. Goodbye Len.

This was a beautiful dance that Len would have loved, as well as my mom. We watched the show together and almost always agreed with Len's comments and critiques. I lost her late last year, and hearing of Len's passing not long after hit hard too, so this was a gorgeous tribute to him. Thank you to everyone involved in this dance.

This show is a family, and that is one of my favorite things about it. Even pros that haven't been on the show in 10 years still came out for the dance. And the fact that Derek, Julianne, and Mark have known him since 10 years old! When he died, I literally stared sobbing and didn't get over it for a while. I just love him and he's "Just charming" -Derek Hough.

A beautiful tribute to Len. A moving dance wrapped in humanity by a special cast of dancers. Len will now ripple across heavenly golden dance floors. RIP 🙏

This dance is so beautiful. If this doesn’t get an Emmy award I don’t know what will. Also I know the song so much because I used to sing it when I was a teen. We miss you Len.

I’ve been watching Dancing with the Stars since 2011 and to know that this season felt so empty without Len but knowing he’s up there putting a smile on all of the finalists and especially Xochi and Val winning season 32 I know he’s smiling upon all the dance pros and the newcomers. This was the most beautiful tribute to a man who loved ballroom dancing. ♥️🕊️ Miss you Len

When choreographies are made from the heart, they reach people's souls and come out beautiful. 😢 Excellent job Jenna and Val, you have created a masterpiece. And all the dancers danced better than ever, because when love moves your heart, everything turns out perfect. I'm sure Len is happy and proud of the wonderful tribute his friends gave him. We miss you Len. It's a 10 for Len. 🧡💜🙏
