Tough one, possibly Jade as an all-rounder, but Ali's ballroom is beautiful one of the best ever!

I quite liked Zoe but since she's not in the competition now I'm gonna have to say Laila.

All of them are worth watching but I know Jade is going to pull off the performance every time.

Ali best ballroom, Jade best all-rounder.
My personal favourite is Laila though

Ali best technique.
Jade best allrounder.
Natalie best fun.

Laila has the performance factor, every dance she transports you.

Ali is the best but her dancing evokes little emotion in me.

Laila and Natalie, albeit less proficient, are far more exciting/entertaining. I feel compelled to pick up my phone to vote for them.

then Natalie

although I'd still rather watch natalie than laila...

Overall Jade.

Ali is best at ballroom though because of her ballet posture.

Ali has been to stage school and did ballet as a child. I can really see the ballet training in her lines and posture.

I'd say Ali is the best at Ballroom, Jade better at Latin. None of the women are all rounders.

I think Ali is the best at ballroom and Jade is the best at latin, but Jade's ballroom is better than Ali's latin, so it would have to be Jade.

The other two women are miles behind thse two. Laila looks the part, but seems to have problems with performance, whereas the opposite is true for Natalie.

Ali for me followed by Laila

I know Jade is popular on here but i always forget her and her dancing seconds after shes done for some bizarre reason.

Natalie i remember for mostly the wrong reasons.

Jade is allrounder
Ali is great @ ballroom
Nathalie is fun and getting better by the week
Laila is a good dancer but not the best.

1 - Jade: Good all rounder.

2 - Ali: Beautiful Ballroom, but her latin is letting her down.

3 - Laila: Lovely Ballroom, and for the first time tonight we saw a credible latin performance.

4 - Natalie: I love her enthusiasm and feel that she's "one of us", in that she gives it her best shot but, in truth she's not really up to the mark.

Jade for me. She performs every dance and is the only female who can do both latin and ballroom equally well.

Ali, her ballroom is just beautiful

In the latin, she has to really let go and perform, she's good but can be very good

Jade or Ali.

Imo. It depends on what you are judging by, most people are going to judge by who they warm to. If by dance and technical ability alone, then for me at the moment (remember, it can all change) the most accomplished in a single area is probably Ali, she has a grace and cleaness about her dancing, and did very well tonight, but she stumbles with her routines and can seem lost out on the dance floor.

The best all rounders are Natalie and Jade. Jade has shone in one or two dances, and has pulled off both Latin and Ballroom well. Natalie, whilst not as polished as some of the other ladies, and has not shone as technically as some of the others in a single area, has done technically respectable and enjoyable dances in both Latin and ballroom, and seems to be comfortable with both and gives an even performance in both areas – and is getting better week by week. If anything, I think if she can polish her routines, lines and her free arm just a tiny bit more, she will be the dark horse of the competition and not just the 'I like her enthusiasm' contestant.

Layla, seems to be a bit of a one trick pony, though I enjoyed her paso tonight.

So, the technically the best imo are...

Ballroom – Ali, with Layla a close second.
Latin – Jade
All rounders – Natalie and Jade.

I think that's a good summary Laura. As much as I love Natalie, her posture is always going to let her down.

Hope you don't mind me picking up on this, but I wouldn't say it's a case of her not being up to the mark, I think she does good dances with great enthusiasm, and as I mentioned earlier she is a respectable all rounder compared to the others imo. But she is not dazzling us as the other ladies do in one way or another. Her lines, posture and free arm need polishing a bit and do let her down. She is improving week by week, but I worry that it may be at to slow a progress compared to the others who are generally excelling in one dance or another.

I think the next week or two are going to be make or break for her, and I'm certainly willing her on. She needs to pick up the pace, clean up the free arm and posture issues and break out of the 'personality' dancer (which sadly I think overshadows her respectable dancing ability actually) reputation she has got. If she can't pull that off in the next week or two, then I think her time on Strictly will be limited. If she can pull it off, as I said earlier, she will be the one to watch – the public and judges love a dance that's done well and shows off a dancers likeable personality. She's already got the likeable personality side down in abundance...
