I'm sorry but she is WAY better than a lot of people on here trying to dance..I'm not attacking you I'm just saying that being fat or not has nothing to do with dance ability

[JSBach5000]

You are right. Just because this person insulted the divine Melanie by calling her fat I should not have lowered myself to strike back. I was just mad. no excuse. thanks for bringing me back to myself. peace

LOVED THAT SNAP AT 0:16 Hahahaha!! :))

[bluewaterhorizon]

the vidoe is not well taken, it doesn't show movement of the feet properly

[mayafrica]

Its not the looks My FRIENDS.....its the way you dance...........and SHE REALLY KNOW THE MEANING OF LATIN DANCING!!!

@rubies6: She was not pregnant when this video was shot. I did not write she is "just chunky" you did. A few extra unwanted pounds does not make her "chunky". She is a beautiful (and desirable) woman, period. Since I dabble in ballroom dancing, I will always admire her, now or when she was heating up the ballroom floors with her hot latin dancing and winning numerous titles.

@IX19UT8O Have you ever stop to think that perhaps she is PREGNANT? And even if she is just chunky, she still is a beautiful and desirable woman.

[IX19UT8O]

Yeah Melanie has put on a few extra unwanted pounds but she is still a beautiful woman and a champion dancer. With Tony she has won numerous championship titles ( United States Professional Latin Champions,Four-time North American Latin Champions, DanceSport World Cup Champions, to name a few). I remember watching them competing on PBS Championship Ballroom Dancing (they won it 3X) and then she was trim, sexy, and absolutely beautiful.

[chicanite]

Melanie still looks beautiful, love her confidence!!!

ONE THING ABOUT COUNTING. I WOULD PREFER THE INTERNATIONAL LATIN DANCER SLAVIK METHOD. INSTEAD OF QUICK QUICK SLOW, I HAVE BEEN USING 2341 FOR YEARS NOW, I LIKED IT MUCH MORE WITH 2341.

[georgewu5]

SHE IS ONE OF THE FEW LATIN DANCERS IN THE WORLD WHO COULD DO THE CUBAN MOTION CORRECTLY AND VERY SEXILY!

SO COULD HE!

NOW THAT IS VERY RARE. BEXAUSE I HAVE MET MANY LATIN INSTRUCTORS WHO DID NOT EVEN KNOW WHAT THE CUBAN MOTION WAS, NEVER MIND DOING IT CORRECTLY!
