Please BBC, I realise you get a bit of gag factor out of the Len/Claudia skits but I'm sure she is more than capable ( if she wears the right shoes ). Would be nice to see her do an end of series dance on the final night - share in the last night glory a bit?

Now Anton is out of the running....?

You know it makes sense.

Every dance teacher I know is inundated with new pupils all wanting to learn ballroom and latin dancing. Some dance schools even have a waiting list. What an opportunity for I.T.T. to take Len's so-called 'Master Class' more seriously and devote at least 10 minutes every couple of nights so that the thousands of viewers could learn some proper basics. For this, Len would need a competent female partner and, regretfully, Claudia in (or out) of boots would not be suitable. Surely this would be better than hearing some half-baked 'comedian' sounding off on things he knows nothing about. Okay, it's not as good as attending a ballroom- dance school but it may well put thousands of enthusiasts on the first rung of the ladder.
Any interest?

I wish someone would teach Tess to dance, bless her she's pretty terrible!!

Yes, she is and she's done 4 series. This is definitely the best example of bad dancer one can ever get.

Hehe, she even makes Bruce's tapdancing look chic!

aww i like claudia's non dancing approach it makes the show a lot lighter, its the only way i can watch len's master classes, cos he makes me cringe! at least she is there to lighten the mood!

I like Tess and everything, but to be honest her dancing would make an elephant attempting to breakdance look chic! Good on her for trying every week though!

Aww, I love Len! His masterclasses do amuse me, but Claudia doesn't half get on my nerves.

Claudia's stopped playing around as much during the thursday training check thing because Craig's patience is wearing thin and PJ doesn't humour her.

I do too And I think it opens it up to all the non-dancers... when they see Claudia surely they can then think "Well I'm better than that! Let's get myself off to a dance class!"

Our Adult Ballroom class was packed out last night with new beginners

Dashed good idea from the OP. Certainly be a far better idea than Len trying teach Fiona Philips.

Although Anton is pretty good idea as well, and as the male star of SCD it might be nice to see a lttle more of him. AND with a good few weeks left it is not much to expect Claudia to do a passable ballroom dance especially in the capable hands of Anton, remember Len has his US committments so time would be a problem. Heck we expect the celebs to come up with a new routine EVERY WEEK, so 5 or six weeks for Claudia to nail just the one is not exactly pushing it for her.

I find the clod-hopping Claudia does during Len's "masterclass" (??) increasingly hammed up. I know she's trying to play the "see, its not so easy for the celebs to learn to dance, look how rubbish I am. And also aren't I endearingly twee and ditzy" card, but its getting embarrassingly overdone now. I've always liked Claudia, but this series of ITT the contrived randomness is getting a bit irritating and obvious.

I'm surprised they haven't given Claudia Len's new DVD
