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…
Read MoreLulu & 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…
Read MoreAlex 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…
Read MoreEdwina Currie & Vincent Simone – Foxtrot
A much better dress this week, but a lot of ‘faffing’ about as Len would put it 50 seconds before they actually take hold! It’s very elegant and romantic but they only spend about 20 seconds actually in hold. Edwina looks quite clumsy at times but overall not a bad performance, but not a Foxtrot…
Read MoreStrictly Come Dancing Week 2 Rehearsals
So week 2 of Strictly is upon us, and there’s a new round of training videos to pour over. I’ve watched training videos on It Takes Two from Wednesday, Thursday and Friday as well as the above video for my comments.This year they have removed the dance off (stupid idea if you ask me) so…
Read MoreGavin Henson & Katya Virshilas – Foxtrot
I’m not expecting a great dance here, I’ll be honest. Gavin needs to be softer in his rise and fall, it looks clunky rather than gliding across the floor. Also the personality we saw last week has completely disappeared, aside from the odd rye smile. Nowhere near as bad as the Jive last week but…
Read MorePamela Stephenson & James Jordan – Foxtrot
My favourite dance is up next and I expect Pamela to return to form tonight after a disappointing couple of weeks. Still not a fan of the short jacket though James! Slight slip from Pamela at the start, and it’s taking far too long to get going. Another couple of slips in front of the…

As a change this week I’ve decided to blog my analysis all in one post, it’ll make it easier for you guys reading too. However I will post links as I go so you may need to refresh the page to see each new comment if you’re watching live (well I’m starting about half an…
Read MoreDancing on Wheels – Show 2
See the show, available until 9.59pm on Thursday 25th March 2010. So this week the competitors are either performing a Foxtrot (my personal favourite) or a Rumba. I’m really looking forward to seeing the Foxtrot, I think any of the ‘floaty’ ballroom dances will really suit a wheeled competitor. Up first, Diana Morgan-Hill & Mark…
Read MoreChris Hollins & Ola Jordan – Foxtrot
Chris really stepped it up in the final last week and delivered an almost perfect Foxtrot, can he improve on that tonight? Looks to me like there has been some work on the hands, but really should be smiling throughout. Shame about the mistake in the middle. Ola knows how much the audience like the…
