I really wasn't sure how she was going to choreograph a tango to THAT music but somehow she made it work imo. I think that they would have been excellent if they had a decent tango song but I still found her and Danny's routine tonight enjoyable ; not perfect by any means but enjoyable. I loved the choreography.
Oti is a brilliant choreographer

Too frantic all her routines are like that, there is too much going on.
Yes, I think she was handed a poisoned chalice when asked to make a tango out of a disco song, but she created a recognisable, if slightly frenetic, tango. I particularly appreciate her choreographing at least 90% of the dance in hold, unlike some of the other supposedly-ballroom-but-apparently-showdance routines tonight *coughKevincough*
She is a cut above the rest - puts the likes of Janette and Natalie (this year only) to shame.
She makes ANYTHING work...Danny is truly blessed to have her this year.

Four words - top of the leaderboard (regardless of whether you level the boring 'overmarked' claim at Doti or not).

He really is . IF and I say IF he manages to pull off a win this year, it will be mostly due to her IMO.

I disagree; the music is somehow always fast though.
Not a fan of the tango this week but generally speaking she has been superb. Her samba was sublime imo.

Just my opinion it helps when you are not a cheerleader.

I concur. The best partnership this year.

What's got to do with anything. For the record I didn't like that dance, Judge things on merit me.
I've really enjoyed Oti's choreography & last week's samba is one dance I'll never forget; however, I didn't enjoy this week as it was too busy & left me confused.

I think it's mutual. If she had got any other celebrity but Danny we wouldn't be seeing her best work. If Danny had any other pro but Oti we wouldn't have seen his real skill - can you imagine if he had been partnered with Janette!
I do think even Oti couldn't manage to successfully shoehorn a Tango around that music- and if she couldn't I doubt anyone could. She did really well considering though and it was still very entertaining.
I think Katya also did superb choreography this year. For me, Oti and Katya were the standout pros of this series.

Hmmmmmmmmmm!
I thought it was a complete mess and barely recognisable as a tango. Flashy show dance, fine, but why are we all pretending it was anything to do with ballroom?

Isn't she? And someone you feel you could have a laugh with too.

maybe thats because they are given music that is not suitable
Disco music for a tango ?
