I know where you're coming from but by the very nature of dance, skating and gymnastics, serious competitors are on the short side of average (e.g. Jayne is 5'3").
I don't agree that Jennifer has more dance ability than Jorgie. Far from it. Jennifer didn't and would never have got a sniff of the dance plaudits and opportunities Jorgie has had.
Chemmy has speed and power but she is used to moving at speed on a slippery surface.
