Whether people like Len or not is totally irrelevant - when it comes to dance technique he knows what he is talking about.
He didn't criticise Hairy Biker guy (sorry forgotten his name) and Mark too much because he accepted that however hard they tried they were frankly never going to achieve very much. But Natalie is different - she has got the ability.
I think the problem is, the judges are not supposed to overtly criticise the professionals, which I think is wrong. In Natalie's case, she danced what she was given beautifully; her hands and her body shaping were excellent.
Nevertheless, the dance wasn't a proper paso. There was 1 twist turn and a chasse cape, and that was about it. There's more to paso than just walking about - never mind how well the walking is done. it was yet another SHOWDANCE choreographed by Artem. Will he never learn?
He could take a lesson from Aljaz who choreographed a stunning Viennese for Abbey tonight, there were a few little 'tricks', but 90% of the dance was pure Viennese.
It's not LEN who's the fool, it's ARTEM
