Yes, they did indeed dance very well, but the rest highlighted in bold were pretty much provided on a plate by the best that Hollywood has to offer don't you think?
Perhaps if TPTB sanction a faithful recreation for Danny & Oti of, let's say, Rogers & Astaire dancing to Night & Day from The Gay Divorcee it would be easier to make a comparison. Level playing field and all that.

I'm no particular fan of Danny's, but from what we've seen so far, he's an infinitely better dancer than Jay - in my very humble and totally uneducated opinion.
