Strictly 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…

Strictly 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.

Strictly Come Dancing 2012 – Premiere

Yes yes I know I haven’t blogged about Strictly, or anything for that matter, in 9 months but I thought it about time to get back into it. The reveal show took place almost two weeks ago and although I watched it at the time, this is the first chance I’ve had to sit down…

Russell Grant & Flavia Cacace – Salsa

Well Russell’s certainly not shy, but his initial hip rolls are pretty awful, better once they start dancing.  Needs to try and use the floor more and I worry that it’s lacking a little of the impact that he brought last week. Some nice movements in there but yet another proof that you shouldn’t be…

Russell Grant & Flavia Cacace – Cha Cha Cha

I wonder if all of Russell’s songs will be astronomically based…?

Needs to be a little less violent with his arm placements in the New Yorks, and he looks a little…

Russell Grant & Flavia Cacace – Strictly Training Video

Oh dear is all I can say, based on the screen shot, let’s see if the video makes it any better. Unfortunately it looks like Russell is definitely the weakest of the opening competitors, but then I don’t think Cha Cha was the easiest one for him to be given first.  We’ll just have to…

Strictly Come Dancing – Sunday 7th November Results

  I predicted that either Patsy or Felicity could be in trouble today, but it’s a really tight leader board this weekend so anyone could really be going home.  In fact Scott is second from the bottom so could be the first real shock exit…? First up in the results show is the Strictly Show…

Jimi Mistry & Flavia Cacace – Quickstep

I’m hoping their performance in front of his daughter’s school was early on in training, as it did look pretty awful! Thankfully that does seem to be the case.  Again a little too much faffing about at the start (as Len would put it) but once they get going it’s fast-paced and intricate.  Jimi needs…
