MJ Hall of Fame - Roger Chin

The first time I saw him dance was at Notre Dame.I think that it was about the same time that he was winning national titles although I did not know at the time.

The guy was so fast and so incredible and what a nice guy and mentor.

One of the best dancers that I have ever ever seen.

Re: MJ Hall of Fame - Roger Chin

Speaking as a lady, I should add that the Mighty Chinster is one of the most delightful and fun men to dance with - his lead is impeccable, his repertoire of moves second-to-none, and he always has a huge grin on his face.

Re: MJ Hall of Fame - Roger Chin

Is that Roger Chin in the crowd of fab dancers on the How To Jive video?

Roger has always been so helpful during and after his lessons and always with a smile. An excellent nomination.

Re: MJ Hall of Fame - Roger Chin

HE MAKES IT ALL UP AS HE GOES ALONG!!!!!!!!............................. and still leads it impeccably

And, likewise, I first saw him dance and teach when he had current national titles and I was (and still am) a great admirer.

A definate Hall of Fame face.

Re: MJ Hall of Fame - Roger Chin

It was difficult for me to get over his hero status at first.

I would have gladly polished his dancing shoes like an apprentice at LFC would clean Kevin Keegan's boots or even better, Kenny Dalglish's.

Honestly, I wish someone could have videoed his dancing at nOtre Dame. It was ELECTRIC and the video footage would be commercially viable.

JB was dancing in Brighton on Saturday at a charity dance. He came all the way from Bedford to DJ for petrol money and did a fab job. I took over the decks and gave him an hour off to go dancing and he really was having a ball out there. And we raised money for an ophanage in Niarobi too!! Maybe JB should have his own hall of fame entry?
