Alex Jones & James Jordan – Strictly Training Video
10 rehearsal videos down, 4 to go. Yesterday’s video was Alex Jones and James Jordan with their Cha Cha Cha training. We don’t really see much of the training in this video, so it’s hard to judge how’s she’s coming along. The arms still need a lot of work and she’s far too rigid at…
Read MoreStrictly Training Video – Harry Judd & Aliona Vilani
Monday’s training diary features Harry Judd & Aliona Vilani and the Cha Cha Cha. There has been some controversy recently with The Daily Star suggesting that this year’s Strictly was fixed for Harry to win. Whilst I admit that a bit of previous training will definitely help, the Paso Doble is unlike any of the…
Read MoreStrictly Training Video – Robbie Savage & Ola Jordan
Another training video, another Cha Cha Cha, this time it’s Robbie Savage & Ola Jordan. He’s definitely going to have to work on the ‘masculine’ aspect of the dance, and needs to try to avoid bouncing/skipping during his forward locks. You want to try and keep your top-half level and allow the straightening and bending…
Read MoreStrictly Training Video – Jason Donovan & Kristina Rihanoff
Jason openly admitted on the launch show that the reason you see him singing mainly with a guitar is that he can’t dance. Kristina could have her work cut out here then.As I mentioned in the launch show Jason will need to work more on his arm presentation, but he’s concentrating more on getting…
Read MoreStrictly Training Video – Edwina Currie & Vincent Simone
Today’s video then is Edwina Currie and Vincent Simone – Cha Cha Cha. The return of Vincent, his eyebrows, and his ego! Then again I’m not really one to talk – students always ask whether I have trouble going through doors with my big head! Edwina has quite a nice hip action developing, though she…
Read MoreStrictly Training Video – Lulu & Brendan Cole
So the couples have been training now for a few days and we’re starting to see a few of the training videos coming out. The first one released by the BBC is of Lulu & Brendan Cole and their Cha Cha Cha training. Brendan seems rather more subdued in his interviews than normal, wonder if…
Read MoreGavin Henson & Katya Virshilas – Cha Cha Cha
First time I’ve ever seen a Cha Cha Cha with a rugby ball prop. Needs to keep his legs a little closer together in his forward and back rocks as it’s just hampering his hip action a bit. It’s a strange combination of Rumba and Cha Cha but it’s good to see Gavin smiling. Showing…
Read MorePatsy Kensit & Robin Windsor – Cha Cha Cha
Patsy’s gone all Kylie this week, and it suits her! It’s hard to know what to say about this routine…it’s ok but still is lacking something. I think she needs to keep her steps a bit smaller to help with the hip action. For me just a 6 this week I’m afraid. Craig: 6 “Cha…
Read MoreStrictly Get Dancing
There are a number of “Strictly Get Dancing” events taking place throughout the country in October and November. Karen Hardy has choreographed a simple 20-step Cha Cha Cha routine for people to learn: Personally it’s not my cup of tea in a Cha Cha routine but if it gets people up and dancing who am…
Read MoreKara Tointon & Artem Chigvintsev – Cha Cha Cha
The tipped ‘hot couple’ there should be lots of chemistry there, and Artem impressed me in the training videos so I’m expecting great things, even if there is a dominatrix theme apparently going on there. A fall there from Kara, I hope she hasn’t injured herself, she does look in a lot of pain. Good…
