There are some touching personal comments about Dale on the Salsacity forum (click on the link above). A lot of people have been really shaken by his death: even people who didn't know him that well are finding it difficult to come to terms with. I was pleased to hear from Neil (Salsara) that a dance night is planned in his memory.
Neil's other comment was that he used to joke with Dale that Dale was his target for the standard of dancing he'd like to achieve. He was certainly well beyond anything I could ever hope to achieve, and was a deserved winner of the first Welsh salsa championship.
I remember one evening a few months ago he was dancing in the Toad when Andy - for a joke - cranked up the bpm to a ridiculously high level. Dale hung in there, still slick and controlled, and still smiling: I don't think there's another dancer in Cardiff who could have kept pace.
