she is no cheryl wanna be. she stood out on her own, she's got a sexy little body to go with her face, and good moves. a true soultrain fan knows there was more fine asian dancers then the godfather (cheryl). i have a lot of footage of her in the 80's and take it from me she;s no joke. loved her move at 0:20 when she spread em and give that hip action. all the harers need to see more of her before they start popping shit!!!!
Very well said! Just like in the northern Philippine islands where the people there have Japanese last names such as Yamasa and Ono. They are referred to as Japinos (Japanese-Filipinos) but call themselves Filipinos. The Filipinos are the most integrated people in Asia.
I hear you, I think my comment referred to her as PNAY. Thats filipina as from the Phillipines. No doubt she has some asian roots. Most PNAY's do. They also have some Spanish and Pacific Islander, roots as well. Spanish first and last names are very common in the Phillipines as well. The Spanish ruled the country for over 200 years until the Spanish American War.
yeah SHE THOUGHT she was cheryl. Cheryl was the best and the very best on that show. I can not believe anyone with eye-sight would think that she was Cheryl.....Cheryl was beauiful and could dance....this one just has the long hair
Dina is PNAY for sure. Some people thought she was latina because of her last name. Many Latin Names in fillipino culture. Heavy Spanish influence for over 200 years.
@Texazz1951 She's obviously Asian. Her almond eyes, flat nose and facial bone structure gives her away. Just because anyones last name is latin doesn't mean they're latin. There's a lot of black people with latin names such as Perez and Clemente but they are not latin either.
I remember her. She was cute. I wonder if her and the other girl with the long hair are related. The other one, danced on Rick James "Superfreak" video.
She was realy pretty but personaly I dont think she stood out among the rest of dancers.Dont get me wrong I she could dance or else she wouldnt of been up there but I am just saying that she didnt stand out like say jodywatley did. Maby the dancers were exceptionaly good on that show or the clips were not her best preformances.
I remember how I swore at one time her and Cheryl Song were sisters lol Dina was fine as hell too. Wonder how she looks as well as what she's up to now?
every time i watch this i always say my my my she's fine. anybody know where she is today would love to know.

Dina Rivera definitely one of the stand outs in the early 80's on Soul Train. She and Cheryl Song complimented each other.
