@foxhuntndancer actually she's been around a long time, she used to dance with Michael Chapman in theater arts and show dances. She's doing performances with Paul Killick too. She's Cuban though, went to school and studied dance and art in Cuba too. The blonde Russian he was with after Joanna was a us champion Juila. Her husband and her where undefeated back in the 90's and she stopped dancing and got back into it a while ago. But soon they stopped dancing after 2yrs.
I have to agree with you. I think there's a much freer feeling when she dances with Emmanuel (actually when anyone dances with Emmanuel), but the judges really love Jose - for them he can do no wrong. So there you go!
I also agree. Jose and Joanna are a great couple. Jose is so clean and incorporates more authenticity into the sometimes overly-ballroomy and whitewashed latin dances (especially mambo). More than Tony ever did.
I agree that Emmanuel Pierre and Liana are a great couple. Way better than this union, in fact. Liana brings something out of Emmanuel that no other dancers does.
