Anita Dobson & Robin Windsor – Waltz
I was quite impressed with Anita’s elegance in training, let’s hope she’s brought it forward to the live show. Could just lift her chest a little bit more to improve her frame, and the heel turn in her double reverse spin was a bit too prominent. I’ve not felt that there’s been much dancing in…
Read MoreRobbie Savage & Ola Jordan – Cha Cha Cha
Robbie looked to struggle with the Cha Cha in training and a hoodie outfit doesn’t fill me with the greatest of confidence…surely that should have been in Audley’s outfit?! It’s started more like a Paso Doble than a Cha Cha and like a lot of Ola’s routines seems to consist of the guy standing there…
Read MoreAudley Harrison & Natalie Lowe – Waltz
Audley has only apparently had 3 days, rather than 3 weeks of rehearsals, so I think this could be a poor performance if he hasn’t worked hard enough. Training videos looked ok, but a problem with his top line not staying still could haunt him throughout the routine if Natalie hasn’t got it under control.…
Read MoreLulu & Brendan Cole – Cha Cha Cha
Lulu was “devastated” to get Brendan according to Brucie, but I’m sure it was all for the cameras! Theirs was one of the first training videos we saw, and it looked quite good then so I’m looking forward to seeing what 3 weeks has added to it. Oh dear Brendan, why did you have to…
Read MoreDan Lobb & Katya Virshilas – Waltz
Dan’s posture looks a little bit rough in training, let’s hope it’s improved for the show. I really don’t know why they feel the need to include props in the show – they’re nothing but a distraction. Finally they start dancing and unfortunately Dan’s posture is still needing work, he looks like someone’s putting a…
Read MoreHolly Valence & Artem Chigvintsev – Cha Cha Cha
As Holly says in her intro, she’s dancing with last year’s winner so there’s definitely a lot of pressure there. Holly’s not looking too bad in training so let’s see how the performance goes. I’d like to see a bit more hip action and a little less posing, Holly also needs to keep her eyes…
Read MoreRussell Grant & Flavia Cacace – Strictly Training Video
Oh dear is all I can say, based on the screen shot, let’s see if the video makes it any better. Unfortunately it looks like Russell is definitely the weakest of the opening competitors, but then I don’t think Cha Cha was the easiest one for him to be given first. We’ll just have to…
Read MoreAudley Harrison & Natalie Lowe – Strictly Training Video
Second up is Audley Harrison and Natalie Lowe with the Waltz. Audley is looking nice and light on his feet initially, though he really needs to take slightly smaller steps – it’s about driving forward to move further, not taking bigger steps. He has a nice frame, but doesn’t look quite so confident out of…
Read MoreHolly Valence & Artem Chigvintsev – Strictly Training Video
Thought I better get the last few training videos up asap before the show starts at 9pm tonight. First up tonight is Holly Valence & Artem Chigvintsev with their Cha Cha Cha. Holly has a nice hip and arm action developing but I haven’t seen enough of the dancing in this video to make a…
