Any person that has a background as a pop artist of some kind ( Ahsley, SEB, Abbey), anyone who has been to stage schools (Fiona, Julien did tap, Natalie trained for years), does musicals (Mark), has done CIN (Susanna) have all had some dance training.
Training only takes you so far. Talent is another thing. |

Yeah, right...she could also be a professional dancer and keeping quiet about it.
She's been in the public eye for years now, quite a high profile model and then WAG, if all they can grub up on her is 30 hours of dance when she was a teenager as part of a girl band, then I don't think there is anything to get all outraged about. ![]() Fiona's had ballet lessons, but she not that elegant at the end of the day. But she came clean about it.

Secret lessons, lol.
30 hours in her teens comes no where near to those that have trained nearly their entire life to be Professionals, from aged 4-5 to their late teens, and still perfecting their craft even beyond that. If Abbey had trained properly and meticulously for years in Latin and Ballroom dancing and then competed in serious competitions on top of that, then we'd have something to talk about. Next rubbish article please (or actually not). |

IMO Abbey has reached her peak. No about of lessons will enhance what little talent she has. IMO she is a very good looking girl with a figure to die for but a dancer she is not. Abbey is working hard to win and why not, that's why she has taken part in SCD. Just because I am not a fan doesn't mean she I rubbish. I just happen to support some one else.
Natalie, is a natural dancer and any training she has had will enhance her talent. |

I first thought, with all the fuss, that she's had 'secret lessons' during her time on strictly. But no, it's 10 yrs ago and about 30 hrs...come on.

If she has had dance lessons then where does that leave Len's comment. I like her but she has to confirm the truth on way or another

It wouldn't bother me at all or change my attitude towards Abbey. Strictly is and always has been an uneven playing field in a multitude of different ways and we don't have access to all the relevant information.
This is the hypocrisy of Natalie's knockers.

I think they should all be asked about the amount of lessons and experience they have in dancing before the show and should be honest with the voters. Poor Rachel never had a chance

You've been very selective in your quote - quoting just one dance teacher. I read the whole article which was linked to and she did more than that according to it. I found what the 'source' said interesting
![]() Until then, yes I will continue to be selective when reading any opinion-based 'news' article, I will continue to regard attached photographs with suspicion - for example, are they out of context and/or chronological sync. You can continue to swallow if you wish, but I prefer to be more objective, especially when it comes to UK tabloids *spits* |

Utterly shameful and pathetic non-story, designed to stir up controversy. It's almost on a par with the article about her past indiscretions, which, IIRC, happened around the same time.
So, seven to ten years ago, she had a few dance lessons, then had a pretty wild time of it, during which time I confidently predict she will have forgotten all about the dance steps. Dave Myers has had ten times the amount of lessons Abbey is alleged to have had (and rather more recently) but they don't appear to have helped him much, do they?

I never take any notice of unnamed sources, regardless of who they are commenting on. If you can link quotes from other dance teachers who confirm they have given Abbey training and are happy to stand by their statement by being named, fair enough.

I really dont care if Abbey has had lessons and I think it quite likely that she has had far more lessons and far more intensive training than that article suggests.....what irks me is the dishonesty especially when week after week Natalie has been relentlessly slated and hammered for it.Not forgetting of course Len's comments holding her up as some sort of shining example

I do hope those posters who are fans of Abbey will refrain from criticising Natalie when she returns next week for doing the same thing.

ETA: People who believe the adage 'no smoke without fire' are fodder for the tabloids and, in my opinion, have to take a huge dose of responsibility for the lazy journalism in this country. |

I don't understand what you mean by the same thing. Unless you're comparing a life of dance lessons to a few hours being taught how to move as a group on stage. And that would be a, frankly, ridiculous comparison.
