Tina O'Brien & Jared Murillo – Charleston
Tina missed last week due to a case of chicken pox, let’s hope it hasn’t affected their training too much. Tina needs to be careful about flinging her hands out a little too much, and not to “cowboy” walk too much. Needs to also try and get more swivel from her feet. Again not a…
Read MoreScott Maslen & Natalie Lowe – Tango
Scott impressed with his Quickstep last week, though I didn’t feel it was quite a 9 yet. A Tango should fit in with Scott’s acting ability though, and Natalie does choreograph good routines. There’s definitely intensity from the start, and Scott definitely looks like he’s losing weight. I’m not a fan of the short jackets…
Read MoreJimi Mistry & Flavia Cacace – Charleston
I’m liking the energy, though I’m not sure about Jimi’s cartwheel and some of the moves I think Jimi is cutting short due to the speed of the routine. An entertaining routine but I do feel the whole thing just felt a little clipped at times. I’m going to give it a 7. Judges comments…
Read MoreStrictly Come Dancing – Saturday 23rd October
So this week will see the couples dancing either a Tango or a Charleston. Tina O’Brien will return from her chicken pox whilst Ann Widdecombe will be flying through the air. It promises to be an entertaining week and yet again I’ve not had a chance to watch the training videos so I have no…
Read MoreFirst Flavia & Vincent, now Ann & Anton are going to fly in their Tango
To try and give their routine a bit more pizazz, Ann and Anton have decided to go all Peter Pan and hopefully sprinkle some magic fairy dust on the judges…especially Craig I imagine. Anton felt that they needed to have something “outrageous” in their routine to try and win over the judges, and hopefully encourage…

There are a number of “Strictly Get Dancing” events taking place throughout the country in October and November. Karen Hardy has choreographed a simple 20-step Cha Cha Cha routine for people to learn: Personally it’s not my cup of tea in a Cha Cha routine but if it gets people up and dancing who am…
Read MoreJust Dance 2: Preview
So soon I’ll be getting an actual copy to review but if you can’t wait for our review Just Dance 2 was released last week and is available to buy now. The original Just Dance sold over 3 million copies and Ubisoft are hoping the updated sequel will be even more popular. Just Dance 2…

First up, Michelle and…Ian Waite (stepping in for Brendan due to returning to New Zealand for his father’s funeral).
