Did they specify "a dance", singular? If it's just the one dance with lifts he must have Waltz, not AS.

It was dances plural.

Claudia said "two dances with lifts".

Louise & Kevin - Tango / Salsa or Samba

Danny should be awesome next week doing both the salsa and AS.

Can't wait to compare Danny's Salsa to Claudia...

This looks like a really difficult week for Ore. He definitely has to do a Samba in a two-dance week, and an Argentine Tango by someone who isn't a stage school ringah along with that isn't a tempting possibility.

He probably needs to be top of the leaderboard to have any hope of avoiding the dance-off, which is highly unlikely given his potential nightmare draw versus Danny's extremely favourable one, and I think the only one he could beat in the dance-off is Claudia. I suspect the producers may simply throw him under a bus a la Patrick Robinson.

If Claudia is not good at rumba and if the choice is between AT and QS think Jo will go for QS which was her best dance in competition not cut and dried judges will pick Claudia over him will all depend on how they dance on the night

Is he definitely doing the AT - could he do a quickstep - which I think Jo could choreograph very well.

And I think it is extremely likely he will be facing Claudia in the dance off. So, I don't see why the producers would 'throw him under a bus' against her.

Personally I can not see Jo dropping the QS for an AT...

I imagine Ore will be dancing the Samba and QT next week

He could have QS, which would be preferable to AT, but it's still a tough draw to be doing the samba in the semis.

I think Claudia will only be in the dance-off if she ends up bottom of the leaderboard with no ties.

If Ore gets a bounce back, it might be another two in the dance off.

Is it definite that the pro decides which dance they don't do? It's been said before that the producers decide the order of the dances which would imply that it was their choice, and if it's the pro's choice then there's some odd decisions they've taken over the years, such as Frankie & Kevin not doing the AS.

The judge didn't save by the bounce back thingy.

Remember louise has to do either the salsa or the samba as well so it's not like she's got a great set of dances that would suit her either.

As I've said on previous threads, I think claudia could do quite a good rumba. She had good hip action in her salsa and her gymnastics could help her eg lines, balance etc. Previous gymnasts on dwts have done good rumba. ..

Unlikely. I don't think there has been any bottom 2 bounce for the last few weeks (e.g. Greg and Judge Rinder)

It does not matter. They are going to give Louise hyped up marks however she dances.

As far as I am aware, at the beginning of each series the Pro chose which dance to drop then it's up to the Producers which order they do it in.

But maybe that was because of the dances that the celebrities were doing.

Equally , Danny may have needed to be top of the leaderboard to avoid dance offs. Guess what ? He has been.

Give me an improver over the one who obvioudly had previous dance training of some type and has actually shown little improvement on the first week.

Thinking about next week's leaderboard... I reckon Danny's definitely top unless something goes seriously wrong Foxtrot-stylee. Claudia or Ore will probably be bottom, although Claudia could possibly outscore Louise.

Glad Danny and Oti are skipping the Waltz.

Looking forward to their American Smooth - hoping for classic music and costume à la their Quickstep.

Not sure about a Salsa but if their Samba is anything to go by it should be brilliant.

I think with Claudia's flexibility and balance she could do really well with Rumba... maybe the height difference could get in the way... but then again Shawn Johnson have done it I'm sure Claudia will!
