Lilia and Erin spring to mind.

On the male side, the likes of Ian, Matthew, Darren and Vincent were all good teachers.

I think Kristina is definitely worth a mention. She always seems to get the best out of her partners - even her first year with John or this year with Daniel. I think last year was a testament to this - she really refined Simon from someone mid-table to a near-champion.
I'd agree - she's not the first to come to mind, but you are right where John, Simon and Daniel are concerned.

I rate Kristina too. An apparently patient teacher, who takes her celebs seriously, irrespective of ability.

Natalie, Vincent, Erin, Aliona and Kristina...

Oh, they're all good (except Janette).

Surely Artem should get a mention!
I agree most definitely.! Miss him very much.

Lilia was a great teacher, even with creepy Dom and managed to win with Darren Gough who was no more than competent. Then again she was helped in the final by a total brainstorm by Erin who is the other candidate for best teacher.

Lilia by a mile.

Still can't understand why they dropped her!

Yes, her and Natalie for the same reasons.Not only emotionally investing in them, so building their confidence, but use of clever choreography to highlight strengths and cover flaws. Aliona should take notes.

Alijaz and Giovanni are good too.

From previoua series liked Mathew Cutler and Ivetta Luckypoopoo

It has to be between Ian Waite and Natalie Lowe for me
I didn't watch it then but really enjoy his Wednesday Warm Up with Zoë - why did they get rid of him from the main show?

I agree re Erin. Special mention also for Anya - she was only there for one series, but I thought she did brilliantly with Patrick

Agree with everything in your post. I too was disappointed that Anya only did the one series. She did two absolute showstoppers with Patrick when she choreographed the QS and Charleston and I was disappointed that we didn't see either routine danced again in the final.

I would also liked to have seen Trent do another series as I loved everything he choreographed for Pixie.
I'd love to see Anya back. She is gorgeous and was a great dancer with Patrick. He did one of the better rumbas and their Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Charleston was superb. Does she still help out with the choreography as I read she was doing last year?

Trent was superb in his own right and with Pixie. He is another one I'd love to see return.

I could mention so many... Ian, Erin, Pasha...

but if I have to pick - and I still can't narrow it down to one - it would be:

Lilia Kopylova and Natalie Lowe.

Not to get into any controversy - just discussing teaching.

Thought Tristan taught Jamelia how to dance.

He seems to be one of the very patient Pros.
