Great combination these two, my hope we get more great dances from her, and he remembers it ain't just a job of work, he has to sell the dance and himself also please ( sorry to say it ain't always about the dancing )
Sadly, it is a popularity contest and Danny admitted from the off he was nervous being himself on screen. So far he's not shown much of 'Danny' but I'm hoping that as he relaxes with Oti we'll see more of the real him.
There were glimpses on ITT (she's a beast, loved that) so fingers crossed for more, especially on the main shows as not everyone watches ITT

I am enjoying seeing Danny dancing. He seems a nice man too. I had no idea who he was as I never watch soaps so didn't see Hollyoaks or any award ceremonies.

Just You tube'd their music, anyone else excited?
Praying Oti's slightly off the wall training methods provide some great technique + shaping, we could be in for a treat!
Of course, if we are, there will be chants of 'ringah' 'favoritism' 'best music' etc but I'll have my ear plugs ready lol

BIB BEYOND ecxcited!!!

This is going to be EPIC - like Anita's last year but with superior dancing thrown in for good measure!!!

As I said elsewhere, I am expecting them to top the leaderboard again as well as the first 10(s) of the series. I predict thaey will come courtesy of Len & Bruno.

You heard it here first...

The only chant I want to hear is "WINNERS"!!!

Looking forward to this Paso.........great music, cape twirling, great dancing by the looks of it. If Oti has her way, it'll certainly be dramatic. "Oti"

Oh my! Was this paso hot! Very Zoro and I have to admit I love this sequence from the movie.
I can totally understand why Oti was so happy - poor girl had to leave first last year.

Another one joining the Danny & Oti love and I have to admit I've never watched Hollyoaks so not heard of Danny before but I've loved all their dances and the boy should go far.

They have a great partnership and that is a big part of what draws me to a particular celeb each year.

You and your crystal ball was right - truly epic dance. Oti is producing excellent choreo this series so good to see her with a partner with talent and dance ability.

Yes,,,,,,don't watch Hollyoaks...........never heard of him, but boy he can move!!!!! Am loving this partnership. Oti is throwing everything at him. He's very exciting to watch.

Haven't really noticed Danny among the other celebs in the first two weeks if I'm honest but have to say that was the best early series performance I have ever seen on Strictly...and yes that does include week three of last year!!!!
I love a well performed Paso & that was an exceptionally well performed Paso!!
The guy is obviously a natural & Oti choreographed that brilliantly!!
Yet another to add to my list of 'favourites' this year!!

My greatest fear is that people will say Danny has not learnt as much as Claudia, Will Etc etc, therefore his votes will suffer nearer the final, he is an exceptional mover for a novice in week 3

He said, 'well done kiddo' referring to the step Oti put in the routine that got Len excited. Think she said 'well done you'.

Yes it was nice seeing that especially after people on MF saying that he is cocky and arrogant which I'm not seeing at all.

Also already looking forward to seeing his quickstep

I don't see it at all either. I think that under his smiley countenance he is quite nervous! Of course there is no need to be!

I loved his paso doble - that shaping was superb.

I didn't think that anything could ever top week 3 last year, but our boy did it, and his Paso was sublime!

I'm another who sees the smiley face as a charade.
He seems to hide at the back in the Clauditorium all the time. It's not like he's the tallest celeb either! Then when I realized they must have moved to the front last night (as I spotted Oti) Danny was actually off screen altogether, hardly the actions of the egotist some perceive him to be.
I've also seen comments 'not feeling any warmth from him' yet his connection with Oti is starting to show, albeit very gently.
Maybe it's time they did a VT with Carley, or his parents/family, anything to show the unbelievers the warmer side of him.

Excited to see them tackle the QS together, praying for (more) acceptable music tho, they've done very well on that score so far!
Much as I think he'd dance an amazing Rhumba, it's the one he could struggle to portray comfortably..... I live to be proven wrong tho, adore a good male Rumba.
