Wish we could pick a male and female. I chose Aliona overall.

Out of the guys I like Aliaz. This series I think Trent, Janette and Brendan are doing the best with their celebs.

NOT going to vote because I think that the poll should be more representative and give more choices.

Now you could say who is your favorite pro for Latin and who is your favorite for Ballroom ? ; that would be MORE FAIR and representative IMO.
Personally my favorite pro for one style of dance is not the same for the other one

Anyways,

Female pro is a tie between Natalie/Iveta/Ola.

Male Pro is a tie between Aljaz and Brendan.

Anton by a mile, then Pasha, Brendan and Natalie.

Really missing Vincent and Flavia.

In fact I don't find the current bunch terribly inspiring.

Shame we can't snaffle Derek Hough.

I voted Kevin - but it's close. I really like most of them, to be honest.

Male:
Alijaz (great dancer, good choreographer, lovely personality and really good looking imo),
Trent (I am liking his choreography a lot and dancing too, his personality hasn't shone yet, not sure whether I will like him or not)

(Still missing Artem... )
Female:
Aliona: i think she is an amazing dancer and a controversial choreographer which is needed among more traditional ones otherwise the show would be boring.

Janette: a distant second, not sure about her choreography yet (though this year is been great so far) or quality as a teacher, but I do think she is one of the better dancers, not in ballroom, as others are much better ballroom but I find them too ballroomy (thinking of Natalie).

Iveta, equal distant second. love her personality and, as ballroom dancer, I think she is the best.

Natalie pips it for me. As she is a lady, I'd also like to pick a man, and newbie that he is, I am going to say Trent.

I voted Trent as personally I think his choregraphy has been outstanding this year especially for a new pro on the show (yes team choreography with his wife, but all the same their routines are amazing to watch).

I voted for Iveta Lukosiute as she seems so very classy all the time.

I liked Flavia as she's hot and because she and Vincent inspired me to dance AT so now I am a doer more than a watcher.

But yes it depends on male / female and the type of dance. I can find something positive to say about all of them - except Joanne, Trent and Tristran who I haven't got to appreciate yet.

I voted Iveta because I loved her partnerships with Mark and Tham!

At the risk of being lynched, I don't understand all the Natalie love. The way she over-exaggerates how great everything is really annoys me! Her ballroom routines are obviously lovely, but her latin is heading in the Erin direction.

Plus has everyone forgotten this:

BII, me either. For me she is good, about 4th place in the current line up of female dancers.
Yeah, the over exageration... I find it not elegant, not vulgar either mind (like Kristina) but I find her too artificial, theatrical in not a good way. But still find some of her ballroom routines very beautiful.
