I watched my first Dance of the season and thought D/W were great and looked like winners.

But I admit I don't know alot about the Dance rules or what scores the most points......

I liked the podium teams and actually all of it was fun to watch.

D/W's tango has improved a lot, but those frantic arms still need to be contained IMO, it's a tango after all. Is Charlie the boss of that dance or else?
Don't know if they should have on by that much. P/B were great too (not perfect though), but I'm suspicious to say anything as they are my favs at this point.

Does anyone have any insight into why Vanessa and Paul are not doing 4 lifts like the other teams are? Why are they giving up points to the rest of the field by omitting a technical element? Could it be due to her injury perhaps?

[ImaginaryPogue]

The serpentine lift is a long lift, which is worth the same base value as two short lifts.
