Laila 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…

I thought their Paso last week was very good, and deserved higher marks than it received. Anton’s Latin choreography has been a bit weak this series so i’m hoping we see some improvement in the content.That foot/ankle injury is obviously causing Laila serious problems and the dance has definitely suffered. I think they might let…

This should actually be a Latin American dance that Laila can cope with! Smouldering start…but wait was that a lift?!!! Excellent performance, not sure how the judges will feel about the lifts, though it did seem to lose drive as the dance progressed. For me it would easily be a 9, if I ignore the…

Back to ballroom, and Anton’s forte, we should see significant improvement this weekThe training mid-week for this looked excellent, let’s hope she can perform tonight. There’s something just not quite right with her frame, it doesn’t look like she’s quite standing up from her core, which is resulting in a slight chin protusion. That slip…

An awful Jive last week could well have seen them leaving, but the public saved them – rightly so I think. How will the Samba compare?Anton’s very much a Ballroom boy so I wouldn’t be surprised if he haad to pick up a few things from Laila. A very funky routine and looking really good,…

So Ian told me that we really need to vote for Laila and Anton on tonight’s show, and from the training videos I had to agree.I only hope they’ve chosen a slow song… …wise choice! Poor Anton, there’s a reason he (like I) were pre-determined to be ballroom dancers! Not actually bad in places but…
Read MoreTraining updates – Viennese Waltz & Jive
So we have the difficulty of the constantly rotating Viennese, and making it look smooth and effortless, compared to the speed, energy, and lightness required of the Jive. With the Viennese Waltz there should be a smooth lilting sway from side to side, rather than the classic ‘rise and fall’ of the other traditional ballroom…
Read MoreThe moment of truth!
How will the public have voted this week? Will Anton & Laila’s top spot protect them from any backlash from the public?Yes, is the answer to that question – we’ll never know how close that vote was! Joe Calzaghe saved from the bottom spot for yet another week, is the whole of Wales voting for…

I’ve predicted this to get the top marks of the night, don’t let me down Laila!Will be interesting to see if the midweek publicity affects how the public vote, but let’s hope the performance is what people focus on. I want to see a 9’s performance here guys! Foxtrot is definitely my favourite dance and…
