Does anyone else think she's a really great addition to the show? She looks like a mermaid with all that long blond hair that she seems to really know how to work during a routine

Actually I think all the new pros are good additions, with the exception of AJ who is a bit of a weak link so far. But he is very young I suppose.

I agree. So far, she seems to be able to teach dancing, choreograph great routines and dance fearlessly and gracefully.

Yep - I think she's great - and she and The Judge seem to have a good partnership.

She must trust him to allow him to do those lifts on week 2

Sign of a good teacher is having confidence in your student

She's a great dancer but she and Judge Rinder are peculiar together in my opinion. He speaks to her as if she is a rather slow child.

He is a barrister so would have to have a way of speaking that makes people remember things.

Yes! I'm very pleasantly surprised. She spent a series or two being one of the interchangeable blonde back-up dancers on Dancing with the Stars, so I was afraid she'd been cast only for her appearance. She's doing a loving job of choreographing with her partner in mind (highlighting his personality) and featuring him and dancing with him (rather than just twirling about him.)



I think that's his schtick--he's playing the timid pupil. (Or maybe she's struggled with his English and he's begun slowing it down for her?)

Precisely - I was going to say he speaks to everyone in that rather patronising tone of voice...back on point, yes Oksana is a great addition and an amazing dancer if what she did in the Results Show routine is anything to go by.

Like someone else said above, only AJ hasn't made much of an impact on me but I am prepared to give him time to grow...

She is lovely, and danced the routine on the results show so exquisitely.

A very welcome addition to the SCD family I would say!

Can't wait to see what she will be wearing or not wearing for their Flintstones dance

I hope she will go barefoot, with the flintstones ankle bracelet

I prefer Katya as a dancer/choreographer but I do like Oksana. I think all the new pros are great actually, including AJ.

Some people are like that with foreigners, they can't appreciate that they may have as good a command of conversational English as they do.

Don't forget, he'll know he's being recorded, so he may be speaking slowly just to command more of the clip.

She was the spitting image of Diana Dors in that dance!

I think Oksana and Katya are good additions to the show . Two good teachers .
Can't say I've taken to Rob Rinder . He has this snooty, superior attitude which I don't like .

There's something very endearing about her, she seems to be an absolute sweetheart.

it's all just a silly queen act, of time immemorial, nothing new to get excited about

I think she's been a great addition, the results show opening number was fab, I think many of the other pros couldn't have pulled off a lot of what Oksana and Gorka did.

I'm loving their celebration chest bumps..

Haven't really seen enough of her just to form an opinion.

She's great! Best new addition for this season.

I'm loving Oksana and really impressed with Katya too (so far)

Really like the new Pro's this series but would have liked to see Trent back. I thought he was brilliant

AJ is approaching his 23rd birthday, and is about the same age as Aljaz was when he first joined the show.

She's brilliant . Wonderful addition to the show . So far, I love her choreography and partnership with the judge. I hope they go very far in this competition .

Is he really - he looks about 17 - just fresh out of school.

Aljaz had obviously lived a bit
