If ever there was a dance that is absolutely tailor-made for Claudia, it is the Charleston. I have rarely seen it done with such speed and precision - pretty well on a par with Georgia's magnificent effort of last year. If she gets to the final (and that is a distinct possibility) this has to be the one she repeats. She did a good Waltz last week. Now she has to nail down the Latin. Her first attempt, on opening night, I thought was no better than so-so. The last two dances, however, will have improved her confidence massively.
Danny remains the stand-out performer of the early weeks, but his lead is being nibbled away. Still far too early to predict the finalists.
