From the start of the clip that is the thing that was immediately apparent to me watching the clip for the first time. And you can see that, I think, has a knock-on effect for Erin as it makes her job easier. You can see her try to mould I think Rory. You can see she appears to be taking him through the basics and the proper posture.
Last series, the Cha-Cha-Cha or Waltz was the Week 1 choice (which went back to Week 1 of Series 1, 2 & 3) and it looks like Erin/Rory is set to choose the Waltz if the Cha-Cha-Cha and Waltz are again going to be the two options for Week 1. Her high for that is a 37 with 6 of the 8 she has done in the 20's. I see Rory and Erin easily getting in the 30's if Rory's training works out as well as I hope.

It's early days and we know Erin is such a brilliant teacher so all could work out well for them.

Couldn't agree more with southwinds58 - Rory's a professional mimic and as such his approach is different - you can see him absorbing all the detail. In a way it reminds me a bit of Pamela last time. I'll definitely be watching this couple with interest...

Hoping these two will really gel - Erin has this dry, wry wit which should go well with Rory's acute observation. Could make for a great partnership. And look at that frame for ballroom! Fab-u-lous!

I found it amusing though when he said he was going to find some seasick tablets because of all the spinning around. If he thinks that is bad how is he going to cope if he stays in long enough for the Viennese Waltz which is nothing but spinning? Team Robo sounds interesting for a name but I was wondering about Team Rorrin for a name.
