It's all the same to Terry. Men, women, advertisements on websites...

But it appears he couldn't hide his CONTEMPT for latin dances.”

I recall that interview and tbh I was aghast; No wonder he doesn't even try to make an effort. If he doesn't even like it then how does it expect to teach it to his celebrity or make her appreciate it

He has someone who has the potential to be a good dancer this season so I hope that he can make an effort. But then again I was hoping the same thing with Laila

Poor woman

Anton's also said on ITT that the samba 'isn't really a dance' or words to that effect

He was probably just joking.

Yeah right

I just wished he would make an effort but he doesn't even bother to improve. 10 years ? 10 years ? And he is still awful ? SMH

No he wasn't. He just doesn't like Latin and it's evident in most of his attempts at it.

Brendan, the reason why I warmed to him (didn't like him in the beginning), was that I saw the improvement since series 4 (didn't watch SCD prior to that). His ballroom posture now is like Anton but his choreography is very organic and smooth (agree Brendan is quite expressive in his ballroom routines), and his pro demo with Natalie was a delight! Much as we joked about Lisa Snowdon turkey fiasco with Brendan, his ballroom choreography produced when paired with Lisa was a revelation.”

Indeed, which gives me an excuse to show yet again my favourite dance in SCD.

Lisa and Brendan's Foxtrot - Strictly Come Dancing 2008 Round 11

I think Brendan is nearer than Anton to being able to produce something like this:

Marcus & Karen Hilton. Foxtrot (1) .
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n29ip...eature=related

Incidentally, what was that about a turkey fiasco?

Brendan's Foxtrot was pure class wasn't it? Another amazing one was the VW with Lisa.

You DON'T want to know the turkey fiasco. I won't subject my worst enemy through it (I may tie them on a chair and play 1D songs to them on repeat but NOT THIS).

I noticed Karen did those heel turns almost imperceptibly. Whereas on Strictly, they were so intend to show they are doing it right they made it look a little forced. Sad because they want to let Len know they could do it so made it very obvious (even Lisa Snowdon's heel turns was evidently deliberate to show off to Len).

It's only fair that everyone's eyes are equally seared with the horror of the bacofoil...

Sadly, YouTube has messed up the audio. It needs to be uploaded again, if anyone has the original.

I'm only new to posting

Incidentally, hilarious though that video is ("Alien, The Musical" is my personal favourite) the actual undoctored original footage is even more hilarious, due to the music choice.

Nothing can top Meatloaf, nothing.

Yep, there will never be a worse piece of choreography than Bacofoil.

I've always found his latin to be very entertaining.
