Daniel's wooden Charleston even barely looked like a Charleston (lacked swivel, character of the dance)..I know so, cause i'm a dancer myself! Hell, forget about me, even CRAIG & Darcy disagrees with you.

Here are some~
Candace-Mark's ''Under the Sea'' Samba ripped off horribly by Scott-Joanne last season.
NeNe Tony's ''Cruella de Ville'' Foxtrot by Anton-Judy.

And more recently, Giovanni copied Val-Rumer's jive's theme/routine during their premiere night dance. There are lot more ...but i don't have the time to write them and all... ”

Both examples you gave there are from famous Disney films, and the dances performed to them recreated the scenes from the films. So what you're saying is that Dancing With the Stars copied the films.

Anyway, you're Rob Wade and I claim my five pounds.

That sounds a bit more like 'the c**p leading the c**p' than 'inferiors copying superiors', but I don't particularly want to look at Youtube vids of duplicates of any of those dances so I won't argue

And Len and Bruno disagree with you - so what's your point Do Craig and Darcy have secret Charleston qualifications they haven't told anyone about? It's all just opinion...even if you are a dancer yourself.

Most of the numbers we see have been copied from someone else.

My point is, the scores on SCD are not as accurate as some of the peeps here making out to be! A lot of the time, scores are messed up but that's okay!

Even a lot of the choreography is often copied along with the themes! If you watch the dances carefully and compare, you'll know.
