I am rooting for Claudia. Her Charleston is my favorite dance so far this year. She's got some cracking dances left- both tangos, jive, Quickstep.

The music choices for her potential break through dances (Paso and American Smooth) were dire. The whole teeny-bopper shtick is getting old. She's a 19-year-old woman who has represented her country on the biggest sporting stage, not a little girl. Surprised they haven't given her a Taylor Swift song, but there's still time....



I also find AJ a lot less annoying than any of the Cliftons (well Jo's alright.)

I always look forward to seeing Claudia and A-J dance as their dancing is always full of content and superbly executed.

Ive usually forgotten her dance by the time the judges give their scores
That's it for me as well. Not sure what it is but she's instantly forgettable. I forget she's on the show each week until she appears and then find myself drifting off during her dances. She just leaves me a bit cold

I think even though she's doing her routines well that because she's so tiny then it just doesn't look quite right. Especially in the ballroom, she looks very childlike.

Not made my mind up on AJ yet. He is good, but inexperienced. I was never a Vincent or Darren Bennett fan, but feel like we need some shorter high quality male professionals. I think those two would have been able to make Claudia wow us.

I think Claudia would be good at that and they would include gymnastic lifts. I dont know how but they would.

I thought you meant the awful Winkleman, if the choice was to vote her off it would be great.
LOL, hear hear!

Absolutely agree with that. He seems to be teaching her really how to dance with all the difficult bits which she is managing well.

There are only so many excuses you can make for them, whether it's their music, outfit, height difference, her being a gymnast etc. Others get poor music choices too. Why is Claudia a unique snowflake? She is a good dancer but forgettable. I did like her Charleston though...
