Colin 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…
Read MoreAlex Jones & James Jordan – Cha Cha Cha
So no explanation for the change in dance order, maybe the BBC just decided they fancied a change (Alex and James were originally scheduled to dance last night but were swapped with Holly and Artem at the last minute)? Not sure on the ‘sexy’ start, doesn’t strike me as Alex’s personality and actually this routine’s…
Read MoreHarry Judd & Aliona Vilani – Cha Cha Cha
Harry’s the only celebrity competitor with prior Strictly experience, but Paso is completely different from Cha Cha so I don’t think it’s a massive advantage. I’m liking this Argentine Tango inspired start, Harry’s definitely looking good and it’s a massive improvement over any of Friday’s Cha Cha’s. A bit too much ‘arm on the waistcoat’…
Read MoreRussell Grant & Flavia Cacace – Cha Cha Cha
I wonder if all of Russell’s songs will be astronomically based…? A surprisingly good start from Russell with good rhythm and hip action and definitely some sass (though that’s normally expected from the girl Russell!) Needs to be a little less violent with his arm placements in the New Yorks, and he looks a little…
Read MoreRobbie Savage & Ola Jordan – Cha Cha Cha
Robbie looked to struggle with the Cha Cha in training and a hoodie outfit doesn’t fill me with the greatest of confidence…surely that should have been in Audley’s outfit?! It’s started more like a Paso Doble than a Cha Cha and like a lot of Ola’s routines seems to consist of the guy standing there…
