Karen Hardy getting close to her peak with Bryan Watson in a Demonstration in Japan July 1997 Learn to dance with Karen and her teachers at www.karenhardys... Karen's website is www.karenhardy.com
Karen is absolutely amazing!...both Bryan and Karen are stars in the business. Anyone who is an aspiring competitive dancer ( like me! ) would know well of Karen. She is well respected in the dancesport world and since retirement has a reputation as a world class coach working with the best couples in the world not to mention judge, lecturer etc...For me, the biggest thing she brings to the floor when she dances is her personality!...it would be a pleasure to meet her one day and perhaps have a few lessons with her ( to have her input on my dancing!)
so so so amazing!!!! loved this routine so much!! Karen really is awesome! looking forward to seeing more of your videos, there is a lack of Karen on here!
yes I do, and over time I will be adding them here to show what Karen was really all about. After being retired 8 years people in TV land won;t know how good she was when she was World Number 1.
You never saw her dance like this on SCD becaues she was retired for 6 years for one thing, and then we had just had our son. He was only 6 months old when she started on Strictly.

Well, well, well....even the great Bryan got outdone in a Samba on this one! IMO Karen was his best match and his equal in every respect.
The best dance I've ever seen!!
Never get tired of watching this. Fabulous music, fabulous samba.
You are amazing Karen. It's great you are on Strictly. A delight to watch.
Oh wow, how amazing is Karen in this!? Love it!
Thanks, that's really nice.

@Yochab Bryan is South African, and truly a genius of a dancer. Karen was his absolute best foil. Check out their Jive if you have time
Sorry for the delay.
The song is a slightly modified version called "Give it Up" by the Goodmen
I Love This Dance!
The song is a variation of "Give it Up" by the Goodmen
