The rest have all faked it, apart from Brendan and each of his partners, or have they faked it too, Sophie included?
I'm confused here - I assume that if learning correct rumba technique takes years, Brendan would be equally unable to teach it to his celeb partners in the limited rehearsal time that they have available. Or does he have a secret teaching technique that allows him to teach in four days what all other pros are unable to achieve in that same timeframe?
And you genuinely do not rate a single other rumba produced by any of the other pros in the last ten years - apart from Brendan's?
Are there any dances at all by any pros other than Brendan that you think were good?

I admire your optimism.

There are none so blind as those who will not see.

I was going to say you can't argue with a closed mind. But I too admire the bear's tenacity.

I rather thought that James and Cherie produced a stunning rumba that was neither smutty or lascivious. It was beautifully danced and interpreted the music wonderfully. Or does that not count because Brendan didn't do it?

My favourite partnership of James' was his one with Cherie - wasn't she the one who was always furiously writing notes about the dances?

Their rumba was lovely.

That's one of my favourites too. Beautifully danced, romantic and moving, and most certainly not smutty.

But my ultimate favourite rumba was Colin and Erin's. No other male celeb has ever come close to the standard Colin set, and I think it goes without saying that Erin doesn't do smut!

Bloody hell! So presumably Brendan can time travel too now? Is there no beginning to this man's talents?

I just HAVE to know! In 11 series of SCD, has any couple other than Brendan plus partner produced a dance that musicangel thinks was good. That's all. Once I know that I'll be able to sleep at night again

And to think they cast Peter Capaldi as the new Doctor, when Brendan is a natural at all that timey-wimey stuff. Doesn't even need a TARDIS

We can look forward to a lot of late night posts then.

Brendan has a magic time travelling teaching machine?


I've been out, teaching dance as it happens. If I had Brendan's magical machine I would have been home a lot earlier.

I didn't say it was perfect, she could have had more emphasized hip action she pushed throughher feet, which is correct I loved the routine, techniques used, choreography,

Karen Hardy loved it. A pity she went on to say that Brendan should pander to the judges prejudices. The audience reaction said it all.
