I really feel that of all the pros Joanne Cliftons choreography is simply outstanding.
Could it be because she and her partner Paolo were competing regularly as recently as 2014 and were World Champions?
I am honestly not a huge fan of the Cliftons but credit where it is due she is doing an amazing job.

She's good but then they all are. Not sure why she's being singled out. Thought they were overmarked IMO.

I wonder if she even did her own choreo in competition??

I actually thought she started this series really badly but has picked up her game.

Something I admire in a person is the ability to take criticism and use it to improve, and I think Jo did that after the judges criticised her at the beginning. She's done it outside of Strictly, too (taking presenting training; elocution classes). She's making an alternative career for herself in musical theatre, too. A woman of many talents, I think. I'm glad to see her doing well.

Love her choreography. Think it took her a week or so to work out what level Ore was at but she has him figured out now and is really delivering.

Oti still competes, Katya and Neil compete and won world latin showdance last year , Aj competes

Tonight, I preferred Oti and Gorka''s choreography tbh. I felt Joanne and Ore were good, but not great, didn't stand out for me.

Paolo is one of the Dance worlds best choreographers and they went to all the top European teachers but I think she is really teaching to her partners ability this year.

Oti hasn't competed since early last year since she came to the UK for last years SCD.
AJ only turned pro for Strictly and as you say was competing until the week before Strictly started but his coaches did his and Chloe's choreography.

Neil and Katya are true choreographers and Neil tells me that they are only on a break till Christmas and will then be back coaching in China and the Far East.

Joanne doesn't even profess to be a choreographer but I still think that she is doing a brilliant job.

I think Brendan actually choreographed Anastacia and Gorka's dance tonight.

I was wondering who was actually responsible for the choreography tonight. Gorgeous routine either way.

Yes he did as he was still hoping to be allowed to dance. Classic quickstep choreography
