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.

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.

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

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.

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?
