cute article :love: i do believe that Lauren is more this years Susan Calman, who last year was also quite inspirational for trying her best and being a strictly superfan

I've always liked Lauren, you can add me please Nicky.

sure i will add you Joey :hug:

AJ's latest vlog

What is she dancing to

don't know yet, maybe song and dances list is revealed in a few hours from now, that was last weeks song and dances list reveal


only thing we know is they have a ballroom, AJ confirmed that during his interview with BBC radio stoke

Ah. Ok. I know the celebs usually alternate between ballroom and latin. So i think Joe has latin. But i wouldn't mind a tango.

week 1: ballroom
week 2: Charleston
week 3: Cha Cha Cha

so yeah for this week it could also be nice to go back to ballroom for her, maybe a smooth/elegant foxtrot could be nice, or a tango to try and bring out her inner dance demon, that's what Lauren said herself on insta, at least yesterday's first rehearsal of the week went really well, she enjoyed it a lot


and about AJ's vlogs, it would be cool if AJ can invite Joe more in his vlogs, after all with Joe on it, he can only learn from the best at vlogging :hee:

Yes, i like their friendship. So cute!

WOW Lauren & AJ doing couples choice this week, probably contemporary, or i hope it's contemporary cause that would suit her more than streetdance or jazz

contemporary i know a lot about, you need storytelling, and she had that with her waltz in week 1

perhaps what AJ said was true, contemporary can come close to ballroom i guess, you can include ballroom techniques into that while with streetdance you can include latin techniques, and Jazz you can include charleston or jive moves in

Can't wait to see it. How exciting!

i give up, producers giving a trash quickstep song for Lauren :notimpressed: i am already knowing Craig and Shirley will give them a 4 :sad:

ok Lauren sharing a training picture with us, she's looking quite good there in hold, not much gapping as far as i can see either

VT filming right now for pre-performance, so AJ keeping himself to his promise, of the competition against Lauren :cheer: just to find that self confidence of her and bring that into the dancing

aj's latest vlog with quickstep training and loads of positive vibes :)

her training footage looks good, looks very smooth, and top line in hold i don't really notice the elbow thing Ian pointed out, which i do notice more with Stacey's top line


come on Lauren, good luck for tomorrow night, i believe in you, i do also think the song choice is interesting, and i hope she wears a lovely vintage beautiful white dress

trust AJ and you'll be fine, quickstep is his favourite of the ballroom dances, if anyone can teach you the right quickstep techniques it's him

rehearsing in her comfort zone :flutter:

newest vlog is up, for the triathlon competition Lauren & AJ had filmed for their VT

AJ & Lauren having contemporary to Beyonce's running, i cannot wait for AJ's choreography and dancing again :flutter:

Lauren pls follow his lead, and don't be arrogant :fist:

contemporary dances are amazing, potential vote winning performances, i have loads of them on dwts usa, let's dance Germany, dwts Australia and i am a huge fan of contemporary, it can be as beautiful as a normal ballroom dance but then 100 times more wow factor in it :cheer2:

just a few hours of training yesterday, because Lauren had to attend a award ceremony for inspirational women

Lauren and AJ came over nicely on ITT last night, lovely how Lauren already showed the air grab contemporary technique

gonna be more lifts, more difficult than in the charleston, in the contemporary there's no limit to how many lifts you can put in the routine so they don't need to worry about getting penalised by the judges


i think this can be a good showstopper performance, and i am confident this can be Lauren's breakthrough into becoming a dark horse :dance:


Go #TeamLAJ also liked how AJ told us that Lauren went from very shy to getting out of her shell and absolutely 100% enjoying every moment on strictly
