Busy with his camera or sweet peas? Not enjoying SCD this year?
Frank we have new people start every year at our club and some of them definitely arrive with two left feet. Those that stick it out and come to the practice sessions end up knowing which is which. Some people have no musical ear and can't hear the rhythm or spot the 1 and 5 in a bar of music - or 2 for cha-cha and rumba. They end up off the beat for most of the dance but don't care if they're having fun and remembering their steps. Others never cotton on to the structure of a dance and that makes their progress slow.
Age doesn't seem to make a difference as we have gifted younger couples who get it straight away and others who have to practice loads. Same with older couples too. We've been at it 15 years on and off for illness and injury and now find ourselves running the practice sessions as we are best at remembering all the steps across our 3 levels.
The biggest difference to making progress is practice, practice, practice.

For what it's worth I thought the wrong couple left on Sat.....and, although I did like Peter Andre in the early stages, his sucking up to the cameras is really starting to annoy now.

Kef , I've been wondering where David is too. Maybe on his hols?
He's on the photo page, messing about with a photo of me!

I'll pickle me walnuts if this little beauty doesn't lift the glitter ball this year: www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p038r3hw

I'm with you too David, although Anita & Gleb are pretty close on their heels.
Love to know your top 3, DD.
Georgia, Anita and Jay David, but who knows, so many variables.
You're right, DD. I have them:
1) Georgia
2) Jay
3) Anita
4) Kellie
I still think Jay's jive was the best dance of the series and unlikely to be bettered.
I want Jay to win, am I the only one?
Something about Georgia irritates me 
No, I caught it on the bottom of my chair. It shouldn't have broken so I'm sending them back
is that a bit naughty of me?
