That suggests to me that AJ is pacing her quite well for two-dance week by getting some of it down early, so having to learn two whole routines in the time they previously had to learn one is a bit less overwhelming. I wonder if any of the other pros do that.
They all do that... I rember they shown a footage of Louise doing Paso... but that was her dance a week after.

Really hope AJ takes into consideration her height for the Quickstep, she's only got little legs and can't go as fast as him. Fingers cossed.
Dani Harmer and Chelsee Healey did BRILLIANTLY at the Quickstep and they were small heighted people so I hope Claudia does well.

I think Ore would have a Simon Webbe moment with an AT. Moody and intense.
That was Simon's breakthrough dance.

Although I think Ore already had his with the American Smooth and Jive.

I too can see him doing well (performance wise at least) in the Argentine Tango.

I think Ore will struggle with the Samba.

Don't worry he's going nowhere - I'll eat my hat if he's not in the final.
Thanks.

If Ore has to do an AT I can see it being a disaster TBH. Only the stage school ringahs ever produce really good ones, and he'll have to do it in the same week he does the Samba.

I agree - the AT and the Samba are hard enough to learn themselves, but to learn them BOTH in one week would be very challenging.

especially when they only got 3 1/2 days to train plus the rehearsals Friday/Saturday this week.

I can't see Ore's AT being great. The only good ATs, Ramps aside, come from the stage school ringahs. And AT plus samba is surely a nightmare combination for two-dance week.
Claudia's not a stage school 'ringah' and thought hers was great and she had the height difference to contend with too.

Simon Webb done one of the best AT in strictly history and I wouldn't call him a ringa and I don't think he went to stage school.
