Alex Jones & James Jordan – Foxtrot
This start feels a bit more Alex Jones rather than last weeks ‘sexy’. Frame is looking a lot better but she still picks that foot up 🙁 Unfortunately I think the break in the middle ruins her frame which is a shame as it was actually a very good performance. I’m going to give it…
Read MoreAudley Harrison & Natalie Lowe – Salsa
I still feel it’s a bit too disco and not enough Salsa, Audley still looks flat footed as he moves around. Plenty of personality but he must avoid looking down. Some really good spins but Audley needs to take smaller steps and try to control his body better. Not a bad Salsa but just a…
Read MoreEdwina Currie & Vincent Simone – Foxtrot
A much better dress this week, but a lot of ‘faffing’ about as Len would put it 50 seconds before they actually take hold! It’s very elegant and romantic but they only spend about 20 seconds actually in hold. Edwina looks quite clumsy at times but overall not a bad performance, but not a Foxtrot…
Read MoreChelsee Healey & Pasha Kovalev – Salsa
Energetic start though not sure on the outfit. Good floor spin but I think they’ve chosen the outfit to mask a lack of hip action. Chelsee looks a little tired near the end and I think there was maybe a bit too much choreography, not enough time for Chelsee to perfect her technique. I expected…

Read MoreJason Donovan & Kristina Rihanoff – Cha Cha Cha
I’ve often considered acquiring a neck brace to torture my students with, Jason’s performance tonight may make my mind up for me. Russell may have performed ‘the campest Cha Cha Strictly’s ever seen’ but Jason wouldn’t be far behind after that start. Some nice hip action though, but he does get out of step on…
Read MoreNancy Dell'Olio & Anton Du Beke – Waltz
Two big egos, one dance, plenty of humour, though I don’t think the feather boa was part of the routine and unfortunately it’s pretty much ruined the whole performance. A complete mess I don’t feel it’s fair to even give it a score, I think Craig especially will be harsh. Craig: 1 “A word of…
Read MoreEdwina Currie & Vincent Simone – Cha Cha Cha
Edwina had quite a good hip action developing in training so I hope to see more of that tonight, not sure on the outfit they’ve put her in though. She needs to avoid picking her feet up quite so dramatically, and the floor spin for Vincent is definitely a departure. A lot of repetition in…
