Susan Calman
 
During her appearance on Strictly, Susan showed an excitement and passion for dance which was infectious and engaging for everyone watching. From the moment she found out that her professional partner was Kevin (and cried with happiness), her determination and hard work, passion and sometimes frustration in the rehearsal processes and her utter joy in each performance she captivated the viewer. Also, she didn't, as a comedian, go for cheap laughs; she wanted to learn to dance well - and ultimately she did! She was a pleasure to watch. Her dance experience changed her, and we loved witnessing her 'journey'
 

Katie O'Halloran 
 
Katie-O-Halloran-400-400
 
Katie is one of the most inspirational dancers out there. She brings positivity everywhere she goes and has the most creative and aesthetic style to watch. She does not limit her talent to just her own dances but to everyone else who has the privilege of being part of her dance troop (SOS. SchoolOfStreet alongside Saana Teather). She has the ability to change lives and achieve so much in such a short time of knowing and working with her. Her motto is "no ego, no judgement" which is the exact the reason why she encourages and engages so many people of all ages. Anyone who meets her just falls in love with het personality, everyone who comes to her classes, has danced for her or just knows her aspires to have the energy and charisma that she adheres.
