Ali Bastian & Brian Fortuna – Viennese Waltz
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…

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…
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…
Read MoreAli Bastian & Brian Fortuna – Jive
Looked a little awkward in training and I’ve been waiting to see how Ali copes with these faster Latin American dances.Looking good up until the mistake with the American spins, dance seemed to lose it as Ali’s confidence dropped. A good start but let down by the second half. 6-7 rather than straight 7’s that…
Read MoreAli Bastian & Brian Fortuna – Salsa
I’ve been waiting to see Ali perform a quicker Latin dance as I think this is where she could fall down, however she has got Brian as her teacher and he knows a thing or two about Salsa.Ali needs to push through the floor to generate the hip action and she looks a little uncomfortable.…
Read MoreAli Bastian & Brian Fortuna – Quickstep
Very good Waltz last time they danced ballroom and should have the elegance to pull off a good quickstep.Nice classic music choice. Floaty and elegant beginning. Good movement and control, though the top line looks a little nervous and she looks almost like she’s leaning. Shaming about the slight mistake there. Fast and accurate footwork…
