I remember this dance. Shelley and I were watching from the stage after workshops. Lee was such an amazing dancer and simply a great guy. You will be missed. Joe.
This is my favourite video. It's got everything: my favourite song, Super mario and Lee Wright. Lee in this video was what inspired me to learn following. I was really upset. I was even planning to take privates with him next year in the UK. You just never know with Life. Rest in peace, sir. 11-09-08
The man following is awesome! Those multiple spot turns that he did were more than I've ever seen from any female follow. You two are very excellent dancers.
Love this video. So typical of wonderful Lee - a fabulous person, dancer - both lead and follower. To use his word "gorgeous". It's a year and a half since you were cruelly taken but you're still at the top of our minds. xx Nice routine too Super Mario.
Seeing this video for the 1st time and by reading the comments below must admit that this Lee was a truely talented dancer who's future was disrupted suddenly. R.I.P. and great video!
Ha ha! I was there on the left watching 2! At the and the follower does about 54 SPINS! Amazing! Love them both! That was an advance class that was really worth it! :)))
Watching this video is how I first found out about Lee. Every video I have ever seen of him showed how bright he shined. Rest in peace, brother. The Lord must have had a shortage of great men.
@beastboy241 No, he (Lee) was a backseat passenger in a car and was killed by the car behind hitting them - terrible loss for a truly wonderful person who only gave to the world (and took nothing). It happened whilst he was in Spain two days after his 24th birthday in November '08. Very, very sad.
@staj As I heard the car he was driven in was struck from behind by another car while he was in the back seat in Malaga a few days after his birthday. One would wish life wasn't this fragile...
Actually, Super Mario is only dancing On1 (L.A.) for the first minute, he calls out and switches to On2 (N.Y.) at the 0:56 time mark. So his timing isn't off.
The music actually has the accent on the second beat, calls for salsa on 2. This on 1/on 2 thing should be mostly about the music, but we choose to do it as a preference. Check out Rodrigo Cortazar's speech about salsa on 1 and on 2.
