Pamela Stephenson & James Jordan – Show Dance
I must admit this dance has me worried but I’m hoping Pamela pulls it out of the bag like she’s done so many times this competition. We have the theme from Dirty Dancing, and most of the moves…shame that James just catches himself on Pamela’s foot. A slight slip getting up from the floor spin…
Read MoreKara Tointon & Artem Chigvintsev – Show Dance
I actually think these guys could produce the best Show Dance tonight, but let’s see what happens. I LOVE QUEEN! A bit of a strange section after Kara’s backflip with Artem randomly sliding across the floor, but they soon get back on track. A missed hand during one of the final lifts and another couple…
Read MoreMatt Baker & Aliona Vilani – Show Dance
Traditionally the one dance that can truly make or break you (think Lisa Snowdon or Colin Jackson) the Show Dance is always a toughy. Not sure on the outfit choices but Matt’s revers handstand is amazing. Not sure on all the pauses though and the Cha Cha portions aren’t great to be honest. Looks knackered…
Read MorePamela Stephenson & James Jordan – Viennese Waltz
Pamela is still for me the most consistent, and entertaining, of all the competitors – Emma can’t stop laughing every time she sees the Salsa stumble. We’re in for another treat with this Viennese Waltz I hope. I’m ashamed to say I have a little tear in my eye, whether it’s the music from Ghost,…
Read MoreKara Tointon & Artem Chigvintsev – Rumba
Kara struggles to get through her opening VT discussing Artem, so it’s fitting that they have the Rumba to perform tonight, a beautiful dance we got to watch first hand last week. Kara’s looking a bit emotional at the start, most likely as she’s just had to watch that whole first VT on a massive…
Read MoreMatt Baker & Aliona Vilani – Samba
Hearing the screams last week (at BBC TV Centre) every time Matt was announced/appeared I know he has a strong audience backing but to be honest any one of the three finalists would be a worthy winner of the glitter ball trophy, and I’m pretty sure it’s the best final line-up we’ve ever had. Matt…
Read MoreStrictly Come Dancing Final – Saturday 18th December
So an intense week of teaching kept me from blogging about last week’s experience of being live at the semi-final, and a combination of the weather, and a bout of flu, have kept us from hijacking a friend’s party and turning it into a Strictly party. However I’ve been to Tescos and stocked up, the…
Read MoreLaila Rouass & Anton du Beke – Quickstep
Anton is the only actual Ballroom professional in the males so this should be good.With Anton’s charm, and Laila’s looks this could be the first time he makes it to the final, but let’s get through the first couple of months eh Anton! A couple of mistakes there, and for me the dance is lacking…
