I'm "people", and myself and plenty of others think he shouldn't be participating when he is a professional in all but name . I bet he has lots of little diplomas hanging in his bedroom . 6 years at dance academy is just taking the piss .
It's ridiculous , in much the same way that signing up an injured boxer with little use of one arm is . There need to be limitations at both ends of the scale . Stage school ? fine . They focus on acting , Enunciation , Characterisation and Presentation as much as dancing .Dance is only part of a varied cariculum . Dance academy where it is dance
only and includes ballroom is just taking viewers for mugs . He has already been crowned winner by the producers , just as Antony said (he might deny it now , but in the bitter heat of eviction and being 'snubbed' I believe he spoke from the heart ).
