Len Goodman


Len Goodman Biography (Courtesy Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)


Len Goodman, (born April 24, 1942) is a professional dance judge who also teaches ballroom and Latin dancing at the school he runs in Dartford, Kent, UK. Born in Bethnal Green in April 1942, he started dancing around the age of 20 after a short time as an engineering apprentice. He turned professional, won various competitions, and retired from dancing after winning the British Championships in his late twenties. He married his dancing partner Cherry, and although they later divorced, they had one son, James, who is also a dancer.

He is currently head judge on the BBC television series Strictly Come Dancing, hosted by Bruce Forsyth and Tess Daly. He also makes regular appearances on the show's extra programme Strictly Come Dancing: It Takes Two, as well as the show's Christmas specials and one-off show Strictly Ice Dancing (which was an Ice skating version of the regular show). He also owns a dance studio in his hometown of Dartford, Kent, where he still lives.

The popularity created by Strictly Come Dancing has earned him a place as head judge on a similar US programme called Dancing with the Stars, currently running on the ABC television network.

Len and Dancing with the Stars professional dancer Tony Dovolani appear in an infomercial for the Core Rhythms workout system.
