I'm not very keen on the lifts, especially the more extreme ones which put me in mind of a circus act (rather than a nice romantic and sophisticated dance). So I will be quite happy to see an AS without them (for whatever reason).

To be honest, I don't think a dance is a dance when you have to add lifts in to it.
They even make Argentine Tango look ugly, and that takes some doing.

Ah, I see.
So, the post was both insulting and illiterate.
You don't write for the Mail do you?
I am really looking forward to this dance because I think it is a great dance for an actress. I do wish people would stop alluding to Natalie's size all the time. 
Guess what, we are not all size 8s!

I was thinking of posting the same......
What is a heffer?
Is it a playboy chick who lives on the Hugh Hefner estate?
Heffer? I know not of such a thing.

The OP's wrong anyway, as Natalie actually said 'Vincent can lift me OK, but it looks a bit odd because he's so short' (which Vincent changed to 'not tall enough' )
I'm all for a decently-danced, attractive performance that doesn't have shedloads of lifts in it just for the sake of it.
Anyone who watched Lisa Snowdon's showdance should be aware that lifts alone are hardly a guarantee of a great dance (and if anyone looked like a 'heffer' in lift, it was the model-shaped Lisa - Brendan looked like he was hefting a sparkly bag of spuds throughout).

American Smooths on SCD never have shedloads of lifts, because they're limited to 2.

Except that he didn't.

She made a point about her size, so why can't we?

We can indeed.
But if we start insulting people by comparing them to dead journalists, aren't we getting a bit too surreal?

I don't like to quote and then amend someone's post without making it clear (that would be just rude
)I can't remember where I picked it up from!

I must admit, I was a touch disappointed.
Natalie wasn't her usual self tonight. She looked a bit tentative.
Thank goodness they're through. I thought I was going to lose them!

Ah well, I'm not down with the lingo like you cool cats are, you know?
So it wasn't illiterate, she was just being called:

Cor, what a charmer.

You're putting words in the OP's mouth.
Interesting that you picked that definition, though, rather than, say:
A really conceited girl. A chick with a very nasty attitude.
Anyway, Natalie raised the issue of her size, and she expects to benefit from it too.
