We were taught the Gay Gordons and the St Bernards Waltz at primary school. 
I'm a filthy ringah, me!

Thank you. I could never warm to her either.

When I went to high school in the US we had to learn ballroom dancing - only cha cha, waltz, foxtrot and Viennese waltz. Ore may have studied movement which is common in theatre schools.

He didn't go to theatre school, though. He went to a posh school with amazing facilities - including a theatre
, golf course, boat house, real tennis court, normal tennis courts, huge sports hall and loads of other sports facilities.

Which school did he go to?

Zoe's year was a bit of a funny one though so I don't think it was because of the judges' "favouring" her. She was an exceptional dancer but she also had a lot of competition from two blokes who definitely hadn't fit the mould before the show started and couldn't possibly be thought of as ringers.
I don't have a problem with Ore showing emotion, I'd far rather people did demonstrate they're being affected by what they're doing that turn out a robotic "demonstration" level dance.
He was overmarked this week though in my view.

Canford School in Dorset (according to wikipedia)

I could be wrong, in my old age, but I thought Zoe got flak in the press. Didn't they run a story about her having had dance lessons before taking part in the show?
They did similar character assassinations to Abbey and Caroline late on too, but now we're kind of used to it! Shame as Zoe's paso show dance was better than Darren's and Colin's. (I still feel for Erin, bless her, when all she was trying to do was prove Col was completely capable of leading). Erin and Natalie...glitterball recipients in a just world
I think it is pretty obvious Ore has not had any dance training, Only a fool would go on ITT and deny it if they had, he also had no hesitation in calling James Jordan out on twitter either.
What most people over look is that he took sport science in University and I think that will help him understand what is required when being taught by Jo ie he will understand where his body weight should be and how to use his legs etc and has probably made it quicker to teach him

Zoe took terrible flack on here as well, I remember lurking because the board was actually pink in colour at that time but anything less pink and fluffy would be hard to find. I actually think a few lessons between signing up and officially starting would be eminently sensible.

Ooh just found that tweet. Very cordial in the circumstances..."Pulling no wool here, never trained as a dancer before Strictly"
It would have been nice had James #FACT Jordan apologized or retweeted....

Now this did make me laugh.

The poor bugger cannot win to be fair - he started off as confident/mock nervous and people went Arrogant....now he is doing well but going for humble/ mock surprise and lots of Feelz and people are telling him to Man Up.
Someone put it far better in Post of the day, how hard it is to be a contestant in terms of how you come across.
I like his dancing very much but am not finding him easy to warm to. Not insincere just something a bit...forced, although I did laugh at the protest too much ''Jo, my old mate, my partner, my mucker'' bollocks which just needed a brotherly head rub. No Strictly Curse here. But I know why he felt the need to do that.
Louise is also not doing it for me. Kevin kissing her on the forehead in a rumba made me snort. It's a dance of love, passion, not brother-sister platonic nothing to see here either guff.
Danny with the ''I wasn't expecting that'' mantra (shit mantra, shit song) is also doing my head in (or was that Ore too? they are interchangeable) I like Danny when he delivers the shit punchline in his vts with a weary acceptance that he's in cahoots with the producers. I prefer confident/I'm decent to I was so nervous though. It all comes down to authenticity. Greg doesn't come over as faking. Nor does Daisy.”

Disagreed with you on Tess- agree with everything you've put about Ore, so you've saved me the effort of writing a long post- thanks

Lol he never acknowledged Ore's tweet and last Saturday he was still suggesting he must have had training:
