This video brings back memories of ballroom dancing in New Mexico & Arizona in the late 70's & early 80's. I was on the fringe of all this (met Roy Mavor, Ron Montez, and Liz Curtis just once):
This video contains the 'show' evaluation part of US Latin American dance champions Ron Montez and Liz Curtis during the World Cup Latin 1984 for professionals that was held in Hamburg, Germany.
Ron Montez started dancing and teaching in 1964 at the Arthur Murray Dance Studio in Tucson, Arizona. He was there for seven years and became a dance director before moving on to Brigham Young University. For two years he was under the direction of the famous Roy Mavor who was then the director of the dance program. During his career, Ron won numerous ballroom and latin titles and especially made a major impact at the British Open. Then in 1979 he met Liz Curtis and became the 7 time undefeated United States Latin American Champion, World Finalist and British Finalist. Ron Montez is one of the most respected personalities in the dance business, as a dancer, coach and judge not only in the United States but internationally. He is a World Renowned coach & choreographer in both American & International Styles including Swing, and is a DVIDA National Examiner.
