Haha! I luv that description anp73! Yes, that's Franco. He's one of the very Latin men out there who really doesn't give a %$#@ when he 's out on the dance floor. In every IDSF Grand Slam I've seen, he has always displayed great showmanship, spontaneity, and great rhythm. Nothing about his dancing is repetitive; he's always different in every performance and that's what makes him a champion because he really understands how to play off this action-reaction thing in partner dancing. Oksana, his former partner, did a great job of always being in tuned with his spontaneity on the dance floor and that's hard when you're dancing with Franco I'd imagine!
When I saw him in Blackpool 2004, he actually fell while doing that split in the rumba, and he promptly laid down on his stomach and did this swimming action thing for a bar or two!! Can't wait to see him 'live' again with Oxana!
