I shall leave that decision to the Mods

BIB would be my guess

To be honest that's what she does every year.

Her 'routines' are very much along the lines of, 'do as many cartwheels, splits in the air, throws and spins AND the kitchen sink and these stupid people will never notice there are no real steps' approach. She is not a good choreographer and her knowledge of dance is very limited to flash show salsa.

She is not a teacher of technique because her own is pretty lame - hence Jake spent much of his time last year doing endless lifts and shaking his bum to hide the fact that he danced like the walking dead and was very, very limited. A crowd pleaser can hide a multitude of sins - but not forever.

The other drawback is that SCD is watched by a hell of a lot of dancers who know what to look for and ex teachers who can spot a dud at 100 paces.

real shame Peter got partnered with her - he could have wiped the floor with the competition if he had gotten a pro who teaches the basics and can choreograph the correct content

He looked better in the launch show during the group dance, when presumably it was some one else (Giant Lady perhaps?) who was teaching them.

This seems unfair as I believe he was not a native English speaker (so didn't always express himself well) and I felt was someone who may well have been autistic or with learning difficulties. Certainly over enthusiastic and fixated but as far as I know no real threat to anyone!

Well, the subject of his affections may well have been seeking a restraining order!

I doubt it's a permanent ban, more an attempt to get him to behave in accordance to forum netiquette.

Well the locked thread was hostile and as I say I leave that decision to the MODS .

Yes he really did, much more fluid in his movements too.

Agree sofakat, I do not rate her as a teacher or choreographer at all.

Disagree with this, Katie really surprised me with her balance on the floor (remember that not 100% of the dance was in hold).

The daughter got upstaged by the mother in this dance, but no worry as this also happened two years ago (not on the same night, but getting the same score two weeks later kinda is equal to being upstaged) and look who had the glitterball in the end?

Katie danced on her own and performed her kick section on her own and with great balance too.

Georgia is good, and she did well,but to say Katie would be messy and off balance is wrong as she was on her own anyway, but she was had such control of her movement that even if she was holding Anton it was not for support as she held herself very well.

On the whole I preferred Georgia's jive action to Katie's (I liked both) but I agree that Georgia has balance problems. Anton didn't hold Katie up, I agree (she is very well balanced), but he did appear to give quite a strong lead which can help with the dynamics for a beginner.

Peter's routine had cha cha steps. I think that because he didn't master the leg action it looked as if he was just running/walking around at times. A cha cha should be into the ground and oily as if moving through grease, with good straightening of standing leg. I didn't like it at all when I first watched it, but preferred it on subsequent viewings. Some celebs need encouragement and confidence. In my opinion Peter needs reigning back. He needs to do the repeat, repeat in slow motion to get the technique, and be told in no uncertain terms if it is not good enough. I think Janette is the wrong professional for him.

That's the impression I got too .
I tend to make huge allowances for someone like that . Nice to be nice .
Anyway he is probably just 'resting' for a day or two and will come back with a better understanding of the rules , so no big deal .

I agree with anne_dancer. Peter had plenty of cha cha in there but it possibly needs to be polished up a bit to be more obviously recognisable . As I said elsewhere , he has had to unlearn 'bad' dance habits from his little personal set pieces in his shows . They don't fit into strict Strictly dances . It's a work in progress .

hi, i did watch It takes two last night, what does Karen Hardy like about Daniel O'Donnell.

Karen thought his footwork rather good . Liked how he nicely drew his feet together in the proper way rather than leaving a gap . Welcome back .

thank you for welcoming me back.


i'm Team GG, Kanton, Glita

this is a good comment, because you explain it well. Katie did some good kicks on her own. but it's still working as a team, Anton was a little wrong , i thought Katie danced better than her partner.

Georgia and Giovanni worked as a team on that Jive, with the character she put in the dance, also that moment when Gio dragged her and under his legs, where she had to hold still. towards the end a little off balance, but that was Giovanni's fault, for speeding the dance so fast.

but overall i'm sorry Amelia, for what i said or did earlier in this forum.
