Craig Kelly & Flavia Cacace – Waltz

Craig is hoping to make it to Blackpool next week, but has thus far not managed to impress the judges with his attempts – will the Waltz be any better?Craig’s frame is vastly improved on his previous attempts at ballroom, and actually is one of the best frames I’ve seen from any of the celebrity…

Craig Kelly & Flavia Cacace – Samba

Craig hasn’t really managed a good Latin dance so far in the competition, and unfortunately I don’t think Samba is going to be any different.A very timid performance and lacking in the drive and energy normally expected in a Samba, though Craig does appear to be enjoying himself. A few mistakes, and a lack of…

Craig Kelly & Flavia Cacace – Jive

Before I get onto Craig and Flavia’s dance, I don’t agree with Ricky’s being a 10 Alesha, at least not if you haven’t marked Jade’s a 10 too! Anyway, can Craig overcome yet another dance-off confidence shaker?Interesting outfit Flavia… Definitely energetic, though it looks a little loose, lacking in control and Craig’s a bit ahead…

The result

As predicted Lynda has been sent home, but it was close.I may not have written it, but I did think that was going to be a 2-2 result. Out of the bottom two I think the right person went, but still would prefer to see one or both of the Jo(e)s in the dance-off. Did…

The dance off!

Lynda up first:Does seem a bit livelier, why does Lynda save the better performances for the dance-off?! I still don’t think it has enough drive however, and just as I was about to say how good it was to see her not make the same mistake again, she mucks up the ending. Shame. Now for…

Craig Kelly & Flavia Cacace – Foxtrot

Craig had a really tough time last week so let’s hope he remembers the whole routine this week, and keep that frame strong!Frame is definitely improved, though the left arm is moving around far too much, it should stay in position throughout the dance. Would help with balance in the spins and turns if he…

Craig Kelly & Flavia Cacace – Quickstep

Problems with his arm lines last week could be recreated in this fast and difficult dance.Not too sure on Flavia’s dress but an energetic start, though Craig needs to keep his shoulders down. The worst thing about Quickstep is how noticeable it is when you jump and your partner doesn’t, unfortunately Craig’s errors are very…

The result

Unfortunately for Richard there was no comparison between him and Craig, surprised Len would’ve voted them however (not sure if that’s a consolation vote though!)Next week then will see all 14 couples competing against each other, but with only one dance to do rather than the two that most have struggled with so far. At…

Moment of truth and dance-off

Here comes another tense couple of minutes!Yet another poor decision by the audience, but I think that’s just signed Richard’s death knell. So Craig up first with the Tango, and again an uncomfortable looking start – needs to work on the upper body, specifically the frame, and also to lead with the body and not…
