She is my new fave female pro I love her choreography and her personality.
Let's just comment on how fabulous Oti is!

I think Danny and Oti are one of my fave partnerships in terms of dance quality. Oti has done an amazing job bringing out the best in Danny week after week, by challenging him with complex choreography and emotional storytelling. She brings energy and charisma to the Strictly dance floor and is one of the best pros of all time IMHO.

I certainly thought it was the dance of the evening. Oti's choreography throughout the series has been outstanding. They are one of my favourite couples ever to appear on Strictly.
One word: Goddess. I never know what to expect from her, but two things are always guaranteed: originality and quality.
Oti was sent a link to this thread via Twitter - https://mobile.twitter.com/OtiMabuse...40992669921280 - so has had a chance to read all the lovely comments.
Her choreography is stunning every week. She could have been lazy when she had a partner like Danny but instead she's pushed him and challenged him every week. She's the only pro to have given me goosebumps (multiple times) with her choreography. It's just breathtaking what she produces.

She is just stunning, and her teaming with Danny is sublime, every other couple just pale in comparison to this perfect pair.

Week on week Oti's choreography becomes even more breath-taking.
Thank goodness this thread was not in the attic as it has given those who do not frequent it, a chance to sing Oti's praises. In the group dances she excells and I was left gobsmacked by her spins one week.
She is a really really special person.

I am so glad that someone did that as Oti should know how special we think she is.
Let's not, because I have yet to see her do anything that extraordinary. Danny is an easy pupil and sorry dome of her choreography has been suspect at times.
And she certainly hasn't taught Danny to keep time very well.

Do you know what's lovely - she's not doing any of that Burn the Floor crap that the others seem to default to. She is a dancer, she's passionate about dance, she got a good partner in Danny but reckon she would be just as good with a duffer as well. You can see some of the others, when they have a not so good or willing contestant, they just give up.

The thread's in the main forum. Anyone can post whatever they want (and usually do!). If you want unadulterated appreciation, then ask for the thread to be moved to the appropriate place - upstairs. Simple stuff.

Thank you.
Its an Oti appreciation thread, not a Danny one.
People need to learn the difference the difference.
Oti is undoubtedly an incredible choreographer who has brought something a bit different. She certainly hasn't given Danny an easy ride, yes, he's come to the show with previous dance experience but she has pushed him to the limit. I would doubt any of the other celebs could deal with the complexity and technique that Oti has included in their dances. Regardless of who wins the final, they have been an absolute pleasure to watch.
Oti has thanked LaylaTango for sending the link to this thread. I hope the few people who make derogatory remarks are embarrassed!
I think she is one of the best choreographers who has been on Strictly. Aliona was great too.

Your comment was just plain nasty, and quite uncalled for. This thread has been sent to Oti, and I am sure that she will feel quite offended by your message when she reads it.
