What disappoints me is that the choreography often depends on schtick, flash and moves that aren't part of the classic style. Not that innovation is bad, but sometimes these dances are unrecognizable.

This is not what you'd normally see in a a real ballroom dance class, or in a real ballroom competition. I hope people aren't being turned off on the idea of taking lessons by what they're portraying on this show.

I though Priscilla Presley was fine, but I find her perfect frozen face very distracting. If the woman cracks a real smile she'll break like an egg.
