Janette Is a Terrible Mentor/Teacher
Yes, we all know Peter hasn't pulled up any trees and hasn't been as good as expected.. but his stompy and weak-footed footwork should've improved if Janette was actually doing her job since it was evident from week 1 Peter needs to work on that..
I like Janette as a dancer but not sure she is a great mentor, she seems the type who is too nice and got no bark to her.. |

Totally agree. She was dancing, Peter was prancing. The most disjointed dance I've seen.

The whole relationship between the two comes across as very forced in my opinion - The judges have been telling Peter about his faults for weeks now, and if he's so joyous about receive the critique then why hasn't he improved.
That isn't all down to Janette. |

She did well with Jake Wood last year, so I think the OP's statement is a bit harsh. Last night's jive wasn't good tho.

This has been the only terrible dance I think she's choreographed, so I'm inclined to give her the benefit of the doubt.

I couldn't believe it when Peter did his flick under Bruno's tuition - it was as if nobody had ever told him how to do a flick before. And you know, I suspect she hadn't. |

But if you notice, Jake hardly improved in technique when he was assigned the ballroom/latin dance. I can still remember his dreadful cha cha. |

I think she has done well with what she has been given. He is the one who is not learning. She choreographs around his skill set and to try and disguise his lack of technique. She has been trying to teach him jive - we could see that on Tuesday, he hasn't learned it...then end result is...that.
She is not great on technique. But this is not her fault. |

I can remember a clip on last year's ITT when Jake asked Janette about technique and she brushed it off by saying something like "just concentrate on the routine". That comment always stayed with me and I do believe she just wants her celeb to "perform" the dance rather than "learn" the basics.

She is not great on technique. But this is not her fault. If she herself hasn't nailed jive technique, then she shouldn't be a pro. How can she be expected to teach it then? |

That isn't all down to Janette. I don't think she is really that keen to win. Whom did she dance with last year??.. |

I think Janette is a terrible choreographer and teacher of ballroom. She might be good as a teacher of dancing with which she trained in, I don't know. I suspect that Peter Andre cannot be taught as he has too many bad habits. It's not hard to choreograph flicks and kicks. The little there were, terrible.

Peter had two "kicks and flicks" throughout the whole of his "Jive" and he was terrible at them...
So I suspect Janette created this dance to cover up the fact that Peter is incapable of performing a Jive. And let's be honest, it worked... Because he is still in and Jamelia is out.

I think she's a nice person, good dancer and gives it 100%. You can't expect more than that.
My issue would be with the producer. The producer hires the pros, and cannot be unhappy with the job Janette has done. |

If she herself hasn't nailed jive technique, then she shouldn't be a pro. How can she be expected to teach it then? Janette doesn't have a Latin/ballroom background like the other pros that have learnt and competed ballroom and Latin from a young age, so she's a very accomplished general dancer trying to mimmick ballroom and Latin. Arguably she does relatively well to do double what Anton has to try and do, but yes, sometimes some routines don't come off. I think though the other pros have had their moments over the years, and even this year Aljaz, Giovanni and Natalie haven't filled dance with enough content, and they'd be more expected to be able to do so given their background. |

Er, no, she really didn't do well with Jake last year. Jake, like Peter, started with great showmanship and massive potential but lacked basic technique. And he was ultimately kicked out by Len because a dozen shows later he still hadn't improved and still didn't have any basic technique.
I couldn't believe it when Peter did his flick under Bruno's tuition - it was as if nobody had ever told him how to do a flick before. And you know, I suspect she hadn't. |
