Watched Vanessa Williams' "Dance With Me" Again, In Order To Marvel At Rick Valenzuela

"Dance With Me" is a great dance movie, not least because it shows Vanessa William's dance partner, Rick Valenzuela, at his best!

In 1982, I was associated with Desert Terrace Dance Studio in Tucson, and Rick and Sandy Valenzuela were the hot young couple there (together with Lonnie Mitchell and my charming instructor, Margaret O'Hanlon).

Rick Valenzuela was an amazing ballroom dancer then! Astonishing, really. And as the movie clip shows so clearly, Rick only got better!
