I thought I heard a mention of Bill and his wife going to Karen's dance class??

Which confused me did she mean she won't professionally dance again, rather than not dance at all?

I want her to come back. When they went out and Bill did his speech I cried like a little girl.

You can teach dance and still dance professionally... most dancers/teachers do a lot of everything! The other dancers teach too - you need to do that to get money. I think Karen was talking about opening her own studio which will take a LOT of work as I know but that doesn't mean she can't organise it so she can take part in SCD4

she has always said she still teaches professional dancers even when she was "retired" i think all she means by retiring is not dancing professionally, i wish her the best of luck with her new studio though!

or rather.. not competing professionally.

After that performance there is no way she can not come back! I mean WOW! i was utterly stunned, i know i'm completely biased but that was amasing! Those spins and the leg in the air thing (technical aren't i? lol) were amasing, tho the thing at the end looked painful lol


She is with out a doubt the best professional there, if Brendan would clean up his attitude he could be on the same level because he can really move too, he's just not so good with the teaching thing. But Karen stands out by a mile!

Dont leave us please **sobs**

She was completely amazing tonight - when people dance like that it completely blows my mind! Your eyes can hardly keep up with them. She is amazing!

I've emailed her to point her in our direction and given her the "Don't you dare hang up your dancing shoes" line! She has so much charisma - like I said before... that's something you can't teach. You either have it or you don't.

I WON'T let her leave !!

Maybe if she doesn't want to come back and dance with the celebs she could be a permanent fixture in the professional dance every week and also do a run down on all the couples..

and *getting excited now*

They could make ITT into an hour show with Claudia talking to the celebs and how they are getting on whilst Karen talks about the next dances...

Problem solved....What do you think ??

Bit Slow on this one guys sorry but only got to watch it last night as had to work saturday Night/ till the early hours of sunday morning.

The performance was incredible and shows that when she was dancing with Bill she was dancing to show off his abilities not her own, unlike some of the others, but saturday was her chance to show us at home just how stunning she is on the dance floor. I just kept watching it over and over again (the best thing about being out and having to record it ). She really did come across as the best there on Saturday. And an incredible teacher on ITT on Friday being able to get that Cha Cha out of Ronnie Irani after having seen the training session.

Yes, shows her talent as a teacher/choreographer/team player and a dancer in her ability to match her partner.

(She's like Cassie in 'A Chorus Line' - she's an absolute star but she can also perform to blend with her partner too - do NOT mean she lowered her standard to dance with Bill; I just mean she used her ability to match him and didn't flit around showing off her skills making him look poor).

Go on pipie, email her don't be shy! I'm sure she'd be very pleased!

I sent a long email to her, and an identical one to Breakfast, about her and Bill and it was nice to be able to tell her directly just how great they both were/are.

Looks like not only Brendan, but also Karen is competing in the xmas special, yey!

This is what I found on the BBC website

Join Bruce and Tess on Christmas Eve on BBC One for a special seasonal edition of Strictly Come Dancing.

This year our top three couples will be battling it out on the dancefloor with two of the celebrity contestants from the American version of the show, Dancing with the Stars.

Rachel Hunter and Evander Holyfield will each be paired with one of the professional dancers from Strictly Come Dancing.

Rachel will be dancing with Brendan Cole - Evander will be dancing with Karen Hardy.

So get into the Christmas spirit the Strictly way, by watching BBC One on Christmas Eve at 6.25pm.

Hear hear !!
The pro dance on Saturday was amazing and i have replayed it lots of times. Eyes are just drawn to Karen and Brendan, their dance was just amazing. Not to say that the others weren't good but.............. I even think the camera man followed their rouitine more than the others even if Matthew and Izabella had more floor time.
Please do another series Karen...............
