Read MoreRicky Groves & Erin Boag – Tango
So I didn’t expect a comical take on a Paso, let’s see if Ricky can keep it serious for the Tango. Emma’s not really ‘feeling’ Erin’s dress this week, and I must admit it does look a little weird. Just loses a little bit of drive at times and his dropped head makes him look…
Read MoreLaila Rouass & Anton du Beke – Waltz
Will Laila have recovered from her injury enough to cope with the demands of the rise and fall in the Waltz? Just needs to make sure she keeps her core strong as still looks a little loose at times. Shame about the glaring mistake at the end though, I don’t think there’s any dances this…
Read MoreRicky Whittle & Natalie Lowe – American Smooth
Ricky was worried during the week about having to do the lifts, and I don’t blame him! Nothing against Natalie, but lifting anyone completely off the ground is a difficult task. Ricky’s head still concerns me when he’s dancing Ballroom, it always seems to be a little tilted, and he needs to make sure he…
Read MoreChris Hollins & Ola Jordan – Viennese Waltz
Chris has been hit-and-miss this series, let’s see how he copes with the tricky Viennese. Not quite sure that Chris’ feet were correct during the slow fleckerl at the start. Nice pivots, although you could see the tension forming in Chris’ shoulders every time he dances them. A good performance and should get 8’s.
Read MoreNatalie Cassidy & Vincent Simone – Samba
When I saw the training videos mid-week she looked a little flat so i’m hoping Vincent’s addressed that since. Len will definitely appreciate them going straight into the dance. For me i’d have Natalie take slightly more compact steps, this would help with the hip action. The bounce was improved over mid-week but I still…
Read MoreAli Bastian & Brian Fortuna – Foxtrot
Away from the sexy requirements of the Latin Ali should perform a great Foxtrot tonight. Like the Viennese the other week, Ali looks a little shaky at times but overall another almost faultless performance (a little hard to tell whether she was correctly releasing the toe when moving backward – good old Strictly camera angles!)…
Read MoreSaturday night and Brucie's back in business
Unfortunately Jade has had to pull out of the competition.Such a shame as they really looked like they had potential together. Oh well, that makes the final a two (rather than three) couple affair. Let’s see how everyone else performs tonight, and whether Laila has fully recovered.
