Strictly Come Dancing 2012 – Week 2

Great weekend of teaching in Bournemouth, thanks to Hotel Piccadilly for asking us to host.  Unfortunately our plan to watch the show via iplayer on Saturday night didn’t work as the show was still ‘coming soon’ at 12.30am Sunday morning, so everyone went to bed instead. Sat down on Sunday night to watch when we…

Strictly Come Dancing Week 3

Ok due to our Bournemouth Dance Weekend this weekend I’ve had to save the blogging until today.  Rather than inundating everyone with posts I’m just going to do it in one long one instead. This week is Broadway week, why? I don’t know but I suppose they feel the need to have some form of…

Harry Judd & Aliona Vilani – Foxtrot

Hands are a little splayed (as Craig would put it) which is a shame.  Needs to keep his head up and really stretch out in his frame but there’s a great connection between them both…Emma wonders if they’re both single… A good performance let down by his frame – really work on stretching away from…

Robbie Savage & Ola Jordan – Foxtrot

Almost a stumble at the beginning but other than that quite a good start.  Shame that it actually loses it a bit once they go into hold. His eyeline’s just a little too high, which a lot of the guys suffer from in the Ballroom, but he’s definitely putting a lot into the performance. It…

Lulu & Brendan Cole – Foxtrot

Head up Lulu! Lifting her feet rather than tracking along the floor and missing quite a few of her heel turns, which is a shame as she was doing them in training.  You can tell she’s forgotten a few of the steps but a huge improvement on last week. Not bad, Lulu just needs to…

Alex Jones & James Jordan – Foxtrot

This start feels a bit more Alex Jones rather than last weeks ‘sexy’.  Frame is looking a lot better but she still picks that foot up 🙁 Unfortunately I think the break in the middle ruins her frame which is a shame as it was actually a very good performance. I’m going to give it…
