I wouldn't say Ali is a more natural dancer.
She's just had more practice - having done extensive ballet training in the past. If Laila had had as much experience, I bet she'd be just as good. |

thought laila did great tonight, and looked absolutely fabulous... but i do get the impression the partnership with anton is strained and its pobably affecting them.

Ali is a korma; Laila is a phall ... in terms of personality. The judges prefer technique, so we'll get the korma in the final.

I thought Laila was fab... But why did anton choreograph a lift in it when he knew the judges would mark them down?
Bit pointless pretending it was spontaneous when we had seen them practising it in their VT? |

Ali's wasn't that polished.

Not again please!! things don't look bad at all between them, it's the same with others some days as well. I thought they were wonderful tonight and they deal with each other well. They are a good team don't drag things up again.
i don't happen to think they are a particularly successful or well suited pair. so there.

I preferred Laila's Paso - even taking Ali's sore foot into consideration the whole feel of her dance last week was wrong.
As an actress, she should have been able to portray the passion and aggression more. I'm a bit disappointed in Anton putting in the lifts though - he should know better? |

Probably not but Ali's was more polished. I'd have put Laila & Anton above Natalie & Vincent on the leader board though.

I absolutely loved it - the Paso is one of my favourite dances. Anton and Laila looked superb (dark colours, particularly red and black, always look great) and the choreography was spot on. Brilliant. I just loved it.

She revealed she was a trained ballerina herself and she felt Ali was as well from the way she moved. I reckon Ali's done a fair bit of ballet in the past. I don't hold it against her though - but it undoubtedly helps her perform better. |

Laila's was vastly simpler but she had better suited music to what people expected and her outfit and the choice of colours was also more obviously linked to what she was doing. She looked the part before she started acting it.Ali looked like some other plot and her choreography and music took her there. You probably can't be too obvious given what some people will expect, the pitfalls of getting subtler or unsuitable l music and how little the camera shows.

She did ballet right through her teens as I understand it and was taking dancing lessons as recently as 18 months ago. Her ballet experience shows in her beautiful poise and lines - Darcey Bussell commented that she was obviously a ballet dancer. It's pretty obvious, actually!
All I've seen cited as evidence in other threads is a Mirror article that spun stage school as a specialist dance school; and even it only said: Quote:
The actress, now 26, went to stage school for three years from the age of 10 where she was taught dance instead of sports and gym. http://www.mirror.co.uk/celebs/news/...5875-21750964/
She also had ballet lessons for several years as a child. |

In other words, the only evidence is what you remember Sara Cawood giving as her opinion, and even that didn't say "extensive training".
I don't think Ali's dancing shows evidence of extensive ballet training at all. And I'm entitled to mine ![]() I'm not bothered by Ali's ballet training - extensive or not. I just wish I could find her and Brian more engaging, but I don't. |

So if anyone has anything beyond Sara Cawood's or someone else's opinion that Ali had "extensive training" or "ballet right through her teens", or anything else of that sort, let's have it. Otherwise, I think they should stop making it sound like it's something we actually know. |

You can have an opinion SId , BUT to say she has extensive training based on nothing will draw disscussion .
The only one who qualifies for " extensive training " is Jade , in the long jump Others are free to believe her training was fairly limited

If you're going to use Sara Cawood as your authority, then you should find a checkable source for what she actually said. Otherise, it's just an opinion of a memory of someone else's opinion. |
