I know! Lots of people seem to think his choreography is bland but I really enjoyed this

This has to be my favourite pro dance ever. I've watched it so many times. Still can't believe it's Camilla in the pink dress dancing with Ian - same figure and dancing style, but completely different face!

Someone did once give us a clue, by saying the choreographer is always at the front. Which would point to James. And he does have free time, whereas both Cutlers are somewhat busy.

I actually thought the Cutlers, for that reason- they're at the front for the second half of the routine.

My favourites at the start are Vincent and James - far too hot to be good for my health. Then comes brilliant Darren and Lilia - her kicks are beautiful to watch. Then I love Brendan and his long slide and Karen as she twirls on - then Camilla and Ian are beautiful to watch. On comes the Cutlers - amazing.

In short - I love this dance and every dancer. I just love it. ”

To quote Craig,'I absolutely loved this'! They were all amazing. I can't see much of Anton until the end but I remember him doing a cheeky jive with Lesley Garrett. I'd love to see Brendan jive more often and Karen was spectacular.

I LOVED this too, it was mesmerising to watch.
The pace and steps and movement and skill, it was sensational, it made me want to take up dancing lessons, just to be able to move like that

Why don't they credit the choreographer?

I assumed it may be an outsider who did it, not one of the pros, as the pros are used to choreographing dances for two and not group numbers.

Having watched the Chicago dance, which was good, I still much prefer this one, i liked the pace of it and the swapping partners.

that's how it made me feel too.



Brendan & Karen, Ola and James, and Darren and Lila really shone for me. the way Ola moves her body is quite dreamy, i wish i could move my body like that.


so we dont know who did the choreography? cause whoever it was did an amazing job.

If so, then, as Craig may say, I have one word to say to the Cutlers - RE-SPECT.

Speaking (indirectly) of John Barnes - I thought his dance with Nicole last week had more exciting cheorography than most of the others, and his dancing allowed Nicole to really shine. A lot of the time the pros get dragged down a bit by their celebs or perhaps are doing more simpler steps than they normally would or are in hold a lot, but that wasn't the case with Nicole. I found her really watchable.

I like them dancing individually - although am going off Karen due to her facial expressions - and thought they'd be really good together, but their partnership isn't working for me. I thought they were one of the worst, actually!

Lots of the pros have done group choreography before for sudents or for other dance work etc.

One of the pros always does the choreography for the group pro dance. For example Karen did last year's Jive, Nicole did last year's Cha Cha, Brendan did last year's Paso, Matt did the year before's Paso etc etc. Haven't heard who has done which dances this year - I wish Bruce would credit the choreography!! Guessed one or both of the Cutlers did this Jive though!

Loved the Pro Jive, absolutley brilliant!

ALL the Pros are so brilliant at what they do - I think they are not given half enough credit - after all what/where would SCD be without the Professionals??!!

3 cheers for the Pros??!! Hip Hip................??

Thought Karen & Brendan were fantastic, but then again in all the Pro Dances I think Brendan & Karen are brilliant, which brings me to the the question,

Why on earth are Brendan & Karen never let do a solo routine to one of the guest singers???!!
or better still forget the guest singer just let them do a
Jive Or Paso Doble on their own !!! - Would love that!!

And while I'm at it - I also loved the Pro/Am Jitterbug especially with the guys in their uniforms - very handsome!!! - One of the best Pro/Am group dances ever!

I believe the reason for this is because Brendan and Karen aren't officially 'dance partners' they just dance together in the pro demo's because they don't have other partners. All the rest are actually professional partners.

I'd love to see them do one of the solo spots with the singers too but I doubt it would happen

I find Brendan very irritating to watch, actually, but him dancing with Karen makes watching him bearable. Karen's facial expressions can be annoying but I'm rather fond of her so find it easy to ignore her faults.
