im sorry but what the number 12 guy is wearing at 3:14 is just Homersexual !!!!!

But i think the number 15 couple in the yellow at 1:40 are the best abd have the coolest moves and outfit.!!!

[GammaSouljah]

LOL!!!!

[cheeseandbiscuits]

I used to love this!

No Offence to all the come dancing fans, but i think it was a good thing that this show got cut, strictly come dancing is so much better than this! xx

Rather than Come Dancing, this looks like the Professional Invitation Team Match from the Blackpool Dance Festival. The commentary from the late, great Bobbie Irvine, about Donnie & Gaynor, who "should do well on Wednesday", the night of the Pro Latin, also makes it appear to be a historic record of a Blackpool team match. Fantastic!!

The song is I Go To Rio

Couple #4 is Burns/Fairweather. #8 is a Japanese couple.

The two couples dressed in white, at the beginning, No.3 and at the end, No.8 were Hiltons and burns respectively. Marcus looked a prince in this samba, but I am sorry to say that he did not have the definition to dance Latin. Could it be that he did not have a good Latin teacher as Donnie Burns had? dancewu dot net

[bmwsitgez]

Sorry but I guess you're confused. In this championship of around 1984 I did not see the Hiltons in this competition. Donnie Burns and Gaynor Fairweather are there though. And for your info: we see the Myhrengens from Norway, Ruud Vermeij (who trained Louis van Amstel and Julie Freyer) and Debbie Fletcher (at the end of this vid. And of course David Sycamore and Denise Weavers

[bmwsitgez]

Oh yeah there are also two Japanese couples of which I don't know their names and two German couples, Roman und Michele Barfusz, and Eugen Fritz and Ute Streicher.

[julieflowergirl]

i could be wrong but i think one of the japanese couples could be sabu and june okubura sorry if i am wrong

[chachaLady]
