Which dance is best for Laura on Saturday?
I think VW waltz would put least amount of strain on her injury. What do others think.

^I don't think it's fair that she gets a "special" dance to adjust to her injury, she has to perform whatever was planned for her to do, be it a Rumba or a Charleston. If she still can't do it, bye then (scuse the pun). |

They apparently accommodated Anatacia the week following her injury, though. I think this was stated by Brendan on ITT.
So why not Laura? |

You never know - Laura might avoid the D O. |

I don't remember him saying that. Do you have a link for this?
Or it may have been in one of the training videos. |

No I don't, it's just something that I seem to remember Brendan talking about on ITT with Anastacia and Zoe after the first elimination when she was saved because she couldn't do the dance off.
Or it may have been in one of the training videos. |

Rumba. I was originally thinking of the foxtrot but there's a lot of rise and fall. Looking forward to seeing her doing the foxtrot and Charleston the most

Rumba actually requires quite a bit of feet and ankle work. The best dance would be American Smooth Viennese Waltz as Giovanni can choreograph lifts where she is off the floor and make them really long. He could choreograph lots of arm-ography and dry ice to cover the feet.

They have to do what's best for Laura if she has limited training and is just hobbling around the dance floor there is not much point in her carrying on. She needs to think about her long term health.

But the transitions and landings would be a bit risky. Halloween week is a good week to return as a costume can hide any support she has to wear and the Judges are usually a bit more forgiving. Dressing her as a mummy should do it. Or a zombie, they don't lift their feet, sexy zombie anyone???? |

There's a Laila Rouass rumba that has similar qualities. Both rather risky though. I'm not sure Laura has the goodwill to pull either of them off in the same way .

There is no dance that she could take easy or protect an injury. If she is not at full fitness, I would suggest its best to pull out of the show,

What about a Denise van Outen special?
It just involves sitting on a chair |

Paso? She could do paso walks and lots of flamenco arms, stamp a bit all in a straight line, it will be the twisting and corners that make life difficult.
