Len Goodman death: 'Dancing with the Stars' judge dies at age 78

I just read an article that said Len Goodman, one of the judges on “Dancing with the Stars,” passed away at the age of 78. It’s crazy to think that someone who was such an integral part of the show for so long is no longer with us.

The article talked about how much Len brought to the show, both in terms of his expertise in ballroom dancing and his charm and wit as a judge. He was always entertaining to watch, even when he was critiquing someone’s dance moves in a way that was less than positive.

Personally, I always appreciated how Len was able to strike a balance between being critical and being encouraging. He wasn’t afraid to call out dancers for their mistakes, but he also knew how to make them feel good about what they had accomplished. I think that’s part of why he was such a beloved figure on the show.

The article also mentioned how Len had a long and successful career as a professional dancer, and how he had been very involved in the ballroom dancing world for decades. I didn’t know that about him, but it makes sense based on how knowledgeable he always seemed when he was judging.

Overall, it’s sad to hear about Len’s passing, but it’s also a reminder of how much joy he brought to millions of people through his work on “Dancing with the Stars.” He’ll definitely be missed.
