The ones I've watched are most certainly NOTHING like that lol. They had more salsa content in their dance than Danny had Tango or Louise had QS come to that.
Someone said she is trending on twitter!!!! And she has the most likes on FB and views on YT so fingers crossed they will sail through to next week

They have clearly never seen Claudia's gymnastics either or understand a split leap on four inches, where you know exactly were to land, is very different on the floor in heels as at a very fast pace...and so is a walkover, she has no mats or spring floor. Hopefully the gymnastics community will vote for her heavily, they adore her, just as the adored Beth Tweddle.
Being a gymnast means she has body control, and flexibility but dancers have that too and they do split leaps. In the AT Claudia did a stag split leap with foot nearly touching her head something she had never done in heels before. Without the heels she would have touched her head. People don't seem to appreciate that there are injury risks for her and if she is continuing in gymnastic then she has to keep her flexibility training going and her stretches..The European Championships are just five months away.......Every gymnastic element she uses comes for long hours of training, and from doing gymnastics since she was six years old. Professional dancers use gymnastics too....Just look at Maddie Ziegler in Sia's videos. Splits, split leaps and a front layout...
Her biggest advantage as a gymnast is she is used to practicing, over and over again and she is used being given corrections and applying them. She will not be exhausted by the training either and she is already on a training diet. But being 4'7 makes it tougher.






I'm hoping for a Claudia (of course). Danny and Louise final now!!
She will have to stay out of the D/O imo otherwise I don't like her chances. So I have low expectations and anything else will be a bonus.
