"I've never watched a TV programme about DanceSport. When I saw so many talented couples for 2 hours, I enjoyed it very, very, very much."
"I guess the producer was compressing it to have both Latin and Grand Slam competitions during the 2 hours. But this has an effect on the overall quality of the programme."
"I don't want to look at only their top, but also at their feet ... But not only the feet because that does not give a decent impression of the movement."

Really loses a lot of the feeling of being there."
