Strictly Come Dancing – Saturday 20th November

Ok so it’s a little bit late, but we’ve been working out in St Lucia so I’m sure you’ll forgive us a small delay! I have a confession though, I already know who went home on both of the two weeks that I missed (pretty difficult to avoid the whole internet and all our students…

Felicity Kendal & Vincent Simone – Paso Doble

Felicity is a celeb who hasn’t lived up to my expectations, though is definitely a lot more flexible than I gave her credit for (and definitely than me!) A nice Spanish start and I like how they’ve made her hair look a bit like a bull’s tail.  Felicity needs to be careful not to skip,…

Strictly Come Dancing – Sunday 31st October Results

So I’m back from teaching, I’ve managed to avoid finding out who was in the bottom two tonight, now to watch and blog before I go to bed. An interesting combination of Ghostbusters and what appears to be Thriller to start.  There’s actually quite the story to it and it’s worth a watch. The first…

Felicity Kendal & Vincent Simone – Viennese Waltz

Felicity and Vincent appear to have gone down a very traditional route, in terms of the history of the dance from the balls of Vienna. It takes them quite a while to get down onto the floor though (from the bridge) which I know Len isn’t going to like. There’s a little bit too much…

Felicity Kendal & Vincent Simone – Tango

So Tango is Vincent’s forte, but it appears Felicity can’t tell her left from her right, always a problem in dancing! Not liking Vincent’s hat, so I’m glad they put it down.  Some great intensity at teh start, though they are doing Argentine rather than normal Tango.  Needs to keep her chin up when she’s…

Felicity Kendal & Vincent Simone – Cha Cha Cha

Felicity was struggling in training with wearing high heels, and they did appear to be particularly high in the vids, but I’m hoping she’s got past that. Felicity is definitely more flexible than I was first expecting, but there’s an awful lot of time wasting at the start and she does look a little uncomfortable. …
