Do you remember a few years ago we had a thread about dance heroes?
Who are your present dance heroes?

I agree, I did not expect anyone to dance to that song, it is a fav of mine and just played it while we were clearing the tables - what a bonus that dance demonstration wasOriginally Posted by Mary
Simon Borland- and I can't believe I'm the first to nominate him as a Dance Hero.
I've learned more in the 5 months I've been going to his classes than I learned in the year I'd been dancing before he came to London- not just moves, but style and all the other things that seem to be turning me from an OK dancer into one who gets complimented by partners. That man can TEACH. You can tell people get what he's saying because only after his classes are the men I dance with still using moves from the intermediate routine at the end of the freestyle. And I started going to Fulham for his advanced classes because I knew I'd be able to get the routines if he explained them.
If he's reading this, I should add that a lot more of them are managing double spins as well. As am I, because he makes you want to practice.
*ahem* he's a bloody sexy freestyle partner as well *ahem*
I'm sorry, was that out loud?
I have a lot of modern jive heroes like Clayton and Janine ;Will and Kate; and Nicky Haslam and Robert; Carol Haynes and Victor. I think there are others who I rate as individual dancers although they may not have won opens. One guy I really think could be really phenomenal is Ben Borego and probably guy that impressed me the most when I started dancing was Brian Collaco who has not competed much recently but is great to watch.Originally Posted by Minnie M
I would say that probably the best dancer I have ever seen is the Latin Ballroom dancer, Brian Watson.I didn't see that much of him on Eurosport but he was amazing. I love watching ice skaters as wekk but I can't remember their names. THere is one called Oksana something or other. She is incredible.
My favourite salsa dancer is a guy called Henry who taught me a bit. Really stylish.
Ben Borego & Mark Forster.
Because they both make what would otherwise be standard moves so interesting.
And Vicktor for being Vickor

James Geary, for speed and accuracy of movement. (and for not being able to spell Viktor).
I forgot......
I met James Geary just before I started competing and I have to say I love watching his dancing. Probabaly the most original male cerocer, incredible intricacy, great style and flair.Great shapes and technique in a dance form which is still relatively immature. Great sense of groove like a musician. Flair like that of a martial artist.His standard was the bench mark by which I compared myself and I still copy his moves.
Someone else who is a big influence is Dave Rockov. Would like to see him practice with one partner and do the Open |(hint hint).
Anyway James when are you competing again. I thought your dancing with Hailey was original and dynamic and ceroc-based whereas many other people ( admittedly me too) are getting into other styles.
