.... absolutely love this new addition; gorgeous, smiley and agile..I trust Brendan and Anton will mentor him in terms of the ups and downs of being a pro dancer..
AJ is just divine

I think he has proved to be a good addition to the show and can laugh at himself etc - he takes the age stuff well too and think him and Claudia are a great couple.
No doubt the usual suspects will come along in a minute, but I think all the new pros have been good

Yes, can't fault any of them...

I like them all too, esp Katya. She seems to really like being with ed (which some may have presumed was the short straw initially), but she's danced full out and tried to make him dance too (instead of just roll him around mopping the floor). I think they all matched/contrasted well this year.
Katya and Oksana have male celebs with big personalities, but are doing well to manage that element alongside showcasing them too, and A.J. has a more quiet celeb but is equally doing well to show her off via her dance ability. Id like to see Chloe next year too.

To be fair Katya probably knew that whoever was paired with Ed would get the most publicity. Kristina's first partner was John Sergeant and it did wonders for her profile.
Having said that I think Katya would be great with any partner.
I was never an Ola and Kristina fan guys so for me, the feel good factor is alive and the new pros don't seem to be up their own backsides
Yes! Really like AJ. Loving Gorka too. Really like Katya. Can't completely take to Oksana, probably because her partner is my least favourite celebrity of all time.

How so...?
Oh she infamously waffled in the Series 11 final about feeling like she'd touched something divine out on the dancefloor after her American Smooth. Ignore my bad obscure jokes that I then have to explain.

Ah OK. Thanks for explaining.

Aawww, he's just so sweet. He's having the time of his life and his enthusiasm is infectious.

^ This.
I'd also echo the comments re Katya and Chloe (in that I hope she gets a partner next year).

She was! Loved her and Mark Benton together
Katya is doing a fab job with Ed, and I'm really impressed with her. So sad to lose Gorka (great dancing up till now!) and it was a nice touch to aknowledge how Tameka had helped him 'settle in' to London life. And I love Oksanas dancing and choreography so far. Shouldn't use the word sweet on AJ as I know its patronising, but he is! Love his enthusiasm, especially as he passes it on to Claudia ...I heard him scream 'You were AMAZING' as they climbed the stairs after their first dance. Loving all the new pros!

All the pros have other people choreographing some of their routines the Charleston being the main one.
Bog standard dances I am sure like all the other pros he choreographs his own.
