Scott Maslen & Natalie Lowe – Argentine Tango

Can they come back from their bottom two position last week? Scott definitely has the right look for Argentine Tango, I still wish he’d keep his shoulders down.  Started with promise but seemed to lose a little momentum by the end.  Scott isn’t always looking at Natalie, and that loses a bit of the intensity…

So tonight we’re going to see a Jive, Paso Doble, Viennese Waltz and Argentine…

Chris Hollins & Ola Jordan – Argentine Tango

Good to see Chris and Ola starting with true Argentine Tango basics. Needs to make sure he doesn’t hold back on the flicks though as they look a little stunted at times. I preferred their dance to Ali’s but I still only an 8 for me.
