Ali Bastian & Brian Fortuna – Cha Cha
A perfect dance last week, sadly I don’t think they’ll perform quite as well this week – Ali hasn’t performed well in the fast Latin dances so far.The fringing is hiding the inadequacies in her hip action, and an obvious mistake in the middle. Didn’t really float my boat, but then pretty much what I…

Ali really suffered with an injury last week, but this should be very good and could finish top if all goes well. Ali really does pull off elegance with aplomb, it looks a little skippy at points but excellent nonetheless. I can’t really fault the performance, it looked a little shaky at times but this…

A packed theatre in Blackpool’s Winter Garden Opera House was the setting for the evening screening of Strictly Come Dancing. There was an almost feverish party atmosphere in the theatre, and even though they were re-showing the highlight reel that we’d been subjected to earlier in the day, people were in the mood to cheer…

Such a tough one to call, and you could tell that Alesha was finding it difficult.Out of the two of them, and based on all their performances over the series I do believe the right couple have been sent home. I don’t vote myself (as I do want to be impartial!) but I hope the…

So who can impress the judges enough to make it to Blackpool?First up Ali with her Paso Doble…and what’s this no shoes? Which straight away results in a slip. However I would say a much better performance than earlier on in the night. How will Zoe reply to that? No real improvement on her earlier…

With a chance to dance in Blackpool at stake who’s going to be fighting for their place this week?Are we going to see any shocks this week… As predicted Craig has been saved for Blackpool (though it’s likely he may go out in his home town unless there is significant improvement!) Well done Jade &…
Read MoreAli Bastian & Brian Fortuna – Paso Doble
A slower Latin American dance (generally), Ali should fare better than her last outing in Jive. Body shaping in training is looking really good, let’s hope the stubbed toe doesn’t affect the performance, though she looked a little ‘off’ coming down the stairs. It’s not a confident performance I feel, though the steps are generally…

I expected Ali to struggle with the Jive last week and unfortunately was proved correct. Back to Ballroom should see Ali return to form.Impressive leg lift in the middle of the routine, shame that there just appears to be a few issues occurring throughout the routine. Definitely back on track, just a shame that a…
