Most Memorable Year - Len Goodman Tribute | Dancing with the Stars 

One of the most beautiful dances I've ever seen on the show.

Jenna and Val did an excellent job with choreography. Absolutely deserves an Emmy nod. We miss you Len.

Usually this channel takes down older videos when the new season starts. Please leave this one alone. It is a beautiful tribute and should never disappear

I hope this gets an Emmy nomination. And Moon River was DEFINITELY the right song choice. 😭

I was already crying, but seeing Bruno crying at the end broke me. It's a 10 for Len.

One of the most beautiful dances I've ever seen on the show. Thank you Val and Jenna and all the returning pros. Len would have given it a 10, maybe even an 11.

This tribute had me literally sobbing. Some people’s presence is bigger than just the person…. It fills the room and everywhere they go. Len was that . Bruno’s reaction was everything… ❤❤❤

He was strict but it’s because he wanted his students to succeed. He CARED. His smile was evident of that.

What got me the most was when they all looked to the spot lit chair and *held it*. Even if they were emotional seeing Bruno and carrie-ann, they kept their gazes. Mad props

Dancing With The Stars will never be the same without Len. His hard-headedness was not to insult the dancers, it was to help them become better dancers. As hard as he was on his judging towards some of the dancers, he was very well loved by everyone. He will be dearly missed in the ballroom by all who knew and loved him. He was actually my favorite judge because some of his comments would crack me up. May you Rest In Peace Len.

The whole performance was magical. I even love how the show kept the cameras on for an extra beat at the end with the dancers still in position, letting us all take a moment to reflect on Len and that touching tribute. ❤

That was so emotional. Not just for the other judges and the dancers, but for anyone who has ever watched the show, especially those of us who adored Len 💕 May he rest in peace.

I still have tears. This was such a beautiful tribute to Len. Jenna and Val did amazing choreography fitting. Miss you Len, it's just not the same without "From Len, A 10"

Let's make this viral. For Len. ❤

I was already crying.but seeing Bruno crying at the end broke me.its a 10 for Len.

Certainly not surprised when the choreography was credited to Val and Jenna. Val has always stood out with his classic ballroom choreography and Jenna was an absolute powerhouse the second she joined the cast even before becoming a pro. A breathtakingly beautiful tribute and wonderfully captivating.

This tribute was so beautiful I cried during the dance and the look at the empty chair I completely lost it. Here’s a 10 just for you Len Rest In Peace

I wasn’t expecting to cry as hard as did. It was beautiful and we know that Len approved of that dance

I am crying like a baby This was absolutely stunning. Perfection. Len would have been proud. Thank you DWTS dancers. You are all exceptional 🙏❤️

Sometimes, a dance needs no embellishments and extra twirls....this was a traditional waltz that spoke volumes. What an incredibly beautiful tribute to Len. Val and Jenna outdid themselves. Bravo ❤

I can't stop crying, what a great tribute to a great man like Len, Jenna and Val's choreography was just perfect

2024 Emmy nomination it’s gotta happen

Always great seeing Derek and Julianne dance together

This is the most stunningly beautiful dance I have ever seen on DWTS...i can imagine Len smiling down from Heaven and saying "it's a 10 from Len!" 😭❤

This was absolutely beautiful I teared up so much. I know he is smiling down on us all.

I will never not cry when I see this dance. There aren't many words that need to be said. This was the level of perfection, grace, and artistry that Len strived to see in his students. He was a tough yet reasonable man who had a heart of gold. I grew up watching him, Carrie Ann, and Bruno and would always enjoy his blunt sense of humor. He was looking down at this performance with a proud smile on his face.

i have seen this dance 15 times and it makes me cry every time! he was a really good judge and really cared about everyone

The amount of times that I have watched this dance over and over and over again, just goes to show how much I love and respect the show, but have much more respect for the pros and for Len. You could really feel his presence during this performance, and just all the look on the pros faces, you could tell how much they all respected him, and how much love they had for them. But seeing Bruno‘s reaction really broke me. This is without a doubt one of the best performances I have ever seen on the show. Jenna and Val did an amazing, amazing job. Len would be so proud and he is watching from above and waving his 10 paddle. It was like I was lost in time for a minute. Beautiful beautiful.

It’s a 10 from Len. ❤️

Some day, I may be able to watch this without tears...but this was so beautiful, and touching. I have never seen Bruno so really emotional, and my heart goes out to the DWTS family and Len's real-life family.

You can tell their heart was in it. Such a classic nod to Len, no razzle dazzle and all class.

I WATCH AND WATCH, over and over. As a DWTS super fan, this was the most beautiful tribute ever. Each of the PRO’s gave their heart and soul of a performance. Tears of tribute, purpose, memories, and love! #10x10. Love love.

Absolutely beautiful!! I hope it gets nominated for an Emmy.

Len’s tribute was amazing! Thank you to all the dancers. Len would have loved it. Beautiful tribute! ❤❤

The most elegant dance that I've ever seen. RIP Len. Deserves an Emmy

The most beautiful dance! Val and Jenna deserve an Emmy nom. An amazing tribute to an amazing judge, his legacy will live on in and outside the ballroom. I was in tears the entire performance. Thank you DWTS for this incredible, wholesome tribute. ❤

You're making me cry again... SUPERB!

Jenna & Val did so good & really celebrated him so beautifully.

One of the most beautiful dances you seen on this show. Thank you Kym, Val, Mark, Derek, Louis , Julianne , Tony and Anna giving Len the proper tribute!

This dance really captures Len’s and all the pro’s love for dance. Perfectly executed choreography by Jenna and Val. This really does deserve an Emmy.

This is the best choreography that I watched in DWTS history. We miss you, Len Goodman. 1944-2023

wow wow wow this dance had me in tears😭 Derek, Julianne, OG pros, and current pros such a beautiful job well done. Major major credit to Jenna and Val for choreographing such a masterpiece of a waltz🤍🕊.

I cried after I watched the tribute dance for Len 😢... I felt so broken but the performance is so graceful, beautiful, and unique ❤. I'm still crying to watch this video again

That Moon River dance dedicated to Len reminded me of a scene from Swan Lake!

Goodness that ending got me 😪. He would have loved and appreciated that dance and all the dancers who came to show love for him💗

I'm going to miss his snarky remarks! I still hear them in my head this season every time a choreo doesn't have pure ballroom elements. RIP Len!

This was a wonderful tribute, i just realized that at the end of the dance where the light shining on the empty chair was len's spot, because it was just him, Carrie-ann and bruno before derek came. you can tell that it made Bruno heartbroken, seeing him crying over his friend was devastating, 💔😭they must have been good friends. Same with carrie-ann and Derek, they'd all lost a good judge and a good friend, and it must be hard for them to judge without Len, i must admit, DWTS just isn't the same with him. I can tell that he wanted to keep him being sick a secret from the rest so they wouldn't be sad, so saying that he wanted to retire was a good choice, Although Len keeps getting booed at whenever he starts judging, he also brings laughter in the ballroom, no one could ever take his place, I thank him for bringing laughter and tough love to the show for 17 years. Carrie-ann, Bruno, and derek was so blessed to had became forever friends with him. Len will always get a 10, he deserves it and much more. Rest easy Len Goodman🕊️💔😭🥀🙏

I don't think I'll ever be able to watch this without crying

I’m going to miss seeing Len on the show: He’s the one that inspired me to pick up ballroom dancing as a hobby, which if you look around on RU-vid you’ll find that one of Len’s wishes while being a judge on “Dancing with the Stars” was to encourage people to pick up ballroom dancing. I’m so thankful that I was able to be one of the few/many who watched the legendary judge for the majority of the seasons he was on the show, and I’m even more thankful, for Len’s ballroom dancing advice through the tv over the years up until he retired, which helped me become a better ballroom dancer back at home. I can’t wait to see what my ballroom dancing hobby has in store in the future and it’s all because of him that I even started the hobby in the first place. I’ll be continuing to dance ballroom not only for those who supported me in my life, as well as for myself, but I’ll also be doing it to continue his legacy and dream of, as he put it, “to inspire others to take it up (as well).”

The spotlight on the chair got me 😢

This tribute was so emotional on all levels. The dance was absolutely beautiful. I've watched this over and over with so much tears. RIP Len. Loved watching you over the years.

Literally the best tribute they could have ever given to Len. Moon River is one of the most beautiful songs ever, and that Waltz they did was the most beautiful dance ever... RIP Len... you are missed

Jenna and Val did a great job with this dance ❤

this deserves to go viral ❤ this dance was absolute perfection it’s a 10 from Len

This was just pure perfection. I’m sure Len would’ve been smiling from ear to ear watching this dance. When they shined the light on the empty seat and Len said, “All good things must come to an end”, I lost it. We miss you, Len! Rest in Peace! 🥺❤️

It was beautiful to watch when it aired on DWTS and I’m so glad it’s here so I can watch it over and over again. Amazing tribute to Len…looking down on you all and dancing 😢

the dancers poured their hearts into this, and the emotion showed. i loved the simplicity of the dance, it spoke more volume than a complex routine. absolutely adored this tribute, amazing job jenna and val!

I'm in tears. Beautiful doesn't even begin to describe it. So wonderful to see the past pros again.

I can't help but cry with emotion watching this beautiful dance to Moon River. 😭 R.I.P Len Goodman

Just an amazing performance. I cried the first time I saw it, and I still cry every time I watch it. Len was the most amazing, honest, open, no holds bar judges to ever grace the ballroom. He will be missed, and never replaced.

I was in tears before the dance even started. As the Late Great Len Goodman would say "That's A Ten from me" R.I.P Len Goodman and thank you.

This is the most beautiful dance in the world, I can’t believe how I was in tears watching it and I just know Len is so damn proud of it! Exactly what he loved, a perfect, clean waltz. Jenna and Val did the most amazing job with this dance!!!

I grew up watching DWTS with my mother. Whenever Len would raise that 10 paddle, it was something special. That dance was beautiful. Everything was gorgeously done. The light on Len's seat at the end was the perfect way to end the tribute dance. Ballroom dancing truly won't be the same without Len. Rest in Peace.

Loved seeing the OG pros like Tony, Maks, Mark, Louis, Kim and the others. Such a lovely idea and breathtaking dance!

Oh God! Now that just made me cry… I’m not a big waltz person but THAT was magical and sophisticated. Thumbs up Val & Jenna! You guys did good. Thank you for such a beautiful dance. It’s a ten from Len! 🏆🏆🏆

I've been watching this show since the beginning. This is by far the best performance I have ever seen. This was a beautiful tribute to Len!

I’ve had to stop and watch this video several times. Such a beautifully choreographed piece to share their love for their mentor and friend, Len Goodman. Bravo to Val & Jenna for such a moving piece. Thank you Dancing with the Stars, and Thank you Len. Rest in Peace good sir, Rest in Peace.

This was absolute tv history made tonight. No show has ever given such a beautiful dedication to our favorites that have left us and always too soon. I’ve watched every season and it’s the one show that was a true family show. The love that the judges had for each other, the respect they had for the dancers and the kindness showed to the celebrities can’t be matched by any other show. Len was the best, and that twinkle in his eyes when he smiled, or gave that..”From Len A 10!” Thank you to all of the dancers that performed this absolutely stunning performance. I’ve watched it at least 20 times and not once have I done it without tears. God Bless you all & God Bless Len’s Family. A true gem that will be forever missed! 🎩

This is such a beautiful piece! and to have all the old pros back on the show for this dance is so meaningful! Great job Jenna and Val for the beautiful choreography! It’s a 10 from Len

He’s smiling down on this dance and he’s loving that it was simple and so elegant! I’m sure most of DWTS fans know those were his favorite types of dances! Val and Jenna, I hope you at least get a nominated for an Emmy this dance it was beautiful!

That was world-class.

This broke my heart to watch, it was so beautiful and seeing how upset everyone was, was really moving to see because it showed that he was loved just as much in the States as we loved him here in the UK, my heart hurt so much when I saw Derek, Bruno and Carrie Ann crying, Bruno and Len had such amazing banter on Strictly Come Dancing and Lens words often had him falling out of his seat😂😂😂, this was a beautiful tribute to our Len thank you DWTS❤❤❤

Couldn't stop crying, that was a beautiful memorial for Len

An ABSOLUTE 10 for the tribute! PERFECTION all the way: from choreography to costumes to Viennese waltz. As I've been watching DWTS from day 1, this is the most beautiful dance of them all! EXQUISITE! Such a delight seeing the past pros together again! And seeing the pros emotional is beyond words! Kudos!

Simply beautiful performance to pay respect to a beloved judge who not only served many years on DWTS but on Strictly Come Dancing as well. Val & Jenna deserve an Emmy for this. Was so excited to see the OG Pros back.

That is by far the most beautiful tribute I have ever seen. The dance world wouldn’t be the same without Len Goodman. Len would be smiling down from heaven and give this one a 10. Rest in peace Len Goodman, you will be missed

I'm sobbing. I loved the routine Jenna and Val choreographed for Len Goodman tribute. #DWTS 🫶🫶🫶😭😭😭🥹🥹🥹

Clean, classic, pure, unadulterated ballroom dancing. There is no other way to tribute the late Len Goodman. Growing up as a kid watching DWTS I always saw him as the mean judge. Soon enough I realized his toughness came from his wanting to see people improve, and his love for ballroom dancing. One of the true legends. May he rest easy. And hats off to Jenna and Val for the beautiful choreography for this tribute.

Cried through the entire thing. Absolutely breathtaking.

Had tears in my eyes the whole dance. The show will not be the same without him. We miss you, Len. This would certainly be a 10.

This was the most beautiful dance ever!! We miss you so much Len!

Bruno and Carrie Ann felt emotional after the performance to honor Len Goodman is so sad and beautiful at the same time and me I was emotional too after watching the tribute dance for Len Goodman passing 🥺

Knew Len for 30 years through golf. He was exactly the same on and off the TV. A most charming and funny man who I was proud to call a friend. Was so happy for him with his deserved success fairly late in life. That was a beautiful tribute 😢

My tears won't stop falling as the dance comes to an end. It's a very beautiful and emotional tribute. Len we will all miss you.

This killed me with so much grief and nostalgia. Props to Jenna, Britt, Landon, and their assistant, Val

That was such a moving tribute to Len, I cried the whole way through. He will be missed so very much. It was really nice to see some of the former DWTS pro’s dance again for Len x

Not a dry eye while watching this dance.. this has been my favorite show for a very long time.. I also miss watching Tom Bergeron on the show.. Rest in Peace Len 🕺🏽💃

he would’ve been so proud. it’s always a 10!! ❤️

When choreographies are made from the heart, they reach people's souls and come out beautiful. 😢 Excellent job Jenna and Val, you have created a masterpiece. And all the dancers danced better than ever, because when love moves your heart, everything turns out perfect. I'm sure Len is happy and proud of the wonderful tribute his friends gave him. We miss you Len. It's a 10 for Len. 🧡💜🙏

What an awesome tribute to a man that held so much grace and love in the palm of his hands. Will always be missed!

Farewell Len Goodman, it’s a 10 for Len ❤️

OMG! Bruno made me cry so hard😢 Beautiful dance!

Lens tribute was amazing! Definitely brought me to tears! You can see how much you all loved Len. He will forever be missed and remembered ❤

This dance is so beautiful. If this doesn’t get an Emmy award I don’t know what will. Also I know the song so much because I used to sing it when I was a teen. We miss you Len.

I don't cry often, but this got me. RIP Len. ❤🙏

I’ve been watching Dancing with the Stars since 2011 and to know that this season felt so empty without Len but knowing he’s up there putting a smile on all of the finalists and especially Xochi and Val winning season 32 I know he’s smiling upon all the dance pros and the newcomers. This was the most beautiful tribute to a man who loved ballroom dancing. ♥️🕊️ Miss you Len

What a beautiful dance tribute to Len Goodman, RIP 👏🏽😭❤️

Amazing performance of the Pros...it was magical and emotional tribute to Len Goodman ❤❤❤

I know that this was the perfect way to celebrate Len and honor him with his favorite dance the pro's and formers pro's did an amazing job with this waltz

What a beautiful performance. Brought me to tears... RIP Len
