It Takes Two – Tuesday 9th October
A few days later than intended, here’s Tuesday’s update! On Tuesday’s show they featured Sid & Ola, Fern & Artem and Lisa & Robin along with the return of Karen Hardy’s Choreography Corner.

So It Takes Two is back, and I’m going to try and bring you updates and analysis daily, teaching schedule allowing. On Monday’s show they featured Anton & Jerry, Craig Revel-Horwood and Louis & Flavia.
Read MoreStrictly Come Dancing Week 1 Day 2
So we had a pretty busy weekend of teaching and weren’t able to blog during the second show. I’ve decided to analyse the second show all in one big entry rather than spamming everyone with 8 separate entries two days after the live show. Going forward I’ll probably just do a Monday analysis of the…

So the leader board at the end of day 1 is above, how does it compare to my marks? 1: 7 Denise & James 2. 6 Michael & Natalie 2. 6 Nicky & Karen 4. 5 Colin & Kristina 4. 5 Fern & Artem 6. 3 Victoria & Brendan The judges and I aren’t quite…
Read MoreColin Salmon & Kristina Rihanoff – Cha Cha Cha
Well that’s another interesting outfit! Better Cuban Breaks than the previous two celebrity attempts, but could do with some hip action at the same time. His height is definitely working against him with his hip action, and the hands are just a little too camp, but Ian Waite proves that being tall doesn’t mean you…
Read MoreVictoria Pendleton & Brendan Cole – Cha Cha Cha
Not sure about the outfits, and Victoria looks very unsteady on those heels! It’s a fast start but feels a bit messy and I’m not really seeing much hip action, I’m assuming the outfit is to cover up the cyclist size quads that pop out on occasion. Just like Fern Victoria unfortunately messes up the…
Read MoreFern Britton & Artem Chigvintsev – Cha Cha Cha
Nothing like a bit of Stevie Wonder to get the party started! Fern needs to make sure her feet stay in contact with the floor all the way through the dance and should really be straightening the standing leg.
Read MoreStrictly Training Video analysis
So Strictly starts in a little while and all the training videos have now been released. I’ve decided to analyse them all in one big post rather than 14 individual entries so that you can directly compare all of the pre-show training.
Read MoreJason Donovan & Kristina Rihanoff – Cha Cha Cha
I’ve often considered acquiring a neck brace to torture my students with, Jason’s performance tonight may make my mind up for me. Russell may have performed ‘the campest Cha Cha Strictly’s ever seen’ but Jason wouldn’t be far behind after that start. Some nice hip action though, but he does get out of step on…
Read MoreEdwina Currie & Vincent Simone – Cha Cha Cha
Edwina had quite a good hip action developing in training so I hope to see more of that tonight, not sure on the outfit they’ve put her in though. She needs to avoid picking her feet up quite so dramatically, and the floor spin for Vincent is definitely a departure. A lot of repetition in…
