I'm so sick and tired of people picking on Aston,Alexandra & Debbie .
when to an extent most of the celebs have done some form of dancing in their life due to their careers, it doesn't mean they're trained Latin & ballroom professionals for godsake .

To all the people giving Aston and some of the others a hard time , what exactly do they want on SCD?? just news readers as contestants with 2 left feet to keep it entirely zero experience hahaha, it's never going to be 100% level playing but they're all in the same boat learning dances they've never learnt before.

In a way sports people could be seen to have an advantage due to their naturally athletic strong and disciplined way , but it's not their fault if for e.g a tv presenter isn't as good or focused that's just how it goes

So excuse Alexandra ,Aston ,Debbie etc for having natural rhythm It's such a CRIME .

I'm sick of people sticking up for them and saying basic dance training doesn't count. When it does. Especially for Debbie. Her dancing is not down to natural rhythm, it's down to years and years of practise at the barre.

In respect of what we want on SCD, we want what it professes to be: a show about people learning to dance.

Aston hasn't been to stage school. I just checked on wiki. It was a comprehensive school. He used to to play football, then started to get interested in singing/dancing.

I think Aston and Alexandra just have natural rhythm. Debbie is a professional dancer and should not be on the show.

Jay McGuinness also had a lot of dancing experience, but he didn't find every dance easy. I remember I he messed up his foxtrot and quicksilver.

Ashton has likely had more dance training than most, he was in a boyband...

Gemma is an actress so she's probably gone to stage school and Molly was in a girl band with plenty of dancing so makes no sense why you're only picking on Aston . Plus Debbie has had ballet .

Obviously his dancing is good, but he's not the only one who has an advantage. Some of the others even have more dancing experience, like Debbie.

That's my point .

I'm not sure what sort of dance training Aston would have gone through. In South Korea, where boy bands are huge, they are put through sweat shops and train dancing hours on end each day. Let's hope Aston isn't cheating and gone down the South Korean route.
