From when I was a teenager when he used to judge me in all of the European dance competitions I took part in all the way up until the day we hugged each other when we both retired on @dancingwiththestars this past season. Mr. Goodman, to this day when doing interviews I always get asked who my favorite judge was and without hesitation I would consistently say YOU were! Thank you for being the face of Ballroom Dancing and always standing by what was right no matter what. A huge reason why Dancing with the Stars was a hit show that was about teaching celebrities how to Ballroom Dance was because of you, your tough love, your no BS approach (which I appreciated) and your beliefs within the technique of Ballroom but more importantly, because of how much you truly cared about the sport and how it was represented. No BS, just STRICTLY BALLROOM! I’m sure many will agree when I say that because of you, Ballroom Dancing was brought to main stream television. I truly believe the show is a success and is loved and viewed by millions to this day because of your influence, your passion, and love for the Ballroom genre. I will never forget the thousands of routines I’ve ever choreographed on Dancing With the Stars and always asked myself every Sunday’s (the day before the live show), “Did I do everything in my power to teach the correct Ballroom technique? Does my routine have enough Ballroom “content” in it? Does my partner still do heel leads in the dances that don’t allow them and vice versa? (Ha!) Would Len give us a 10?” Thank you for representing us Ballroom dancers and NEVER compromising what we stood for in the Ballroom community. Thank you for changing my life and for bringing joy to millions of people who have been watching us throughout the years. Sending love to your family and may your soul rest in peace…🤍」4月25日 4時19分
