I still don’t really know what to make of this.
Was there any dance quality? No, smooth it was not?
But this was definitely entertaining.
He’s very light on his feet though, so I’m excited to see a quickstep and charleston from him

Paul & Karen managed to pull-off a potentially disastrous routine with some skill here – being given an American Smooth to Vindaloo felt like a very short straw. As the current longest serving Pro on the show, Karen (& Paul) deserve better than being given a comedy routine first week out.
