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…
Read MoreHarry 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…
Read MoreJason Donovan & Kristina Rihanoff – Foxtrot
Jason was top of the leader board last week, and the training midweek suggested he’ll still be there this week, let’s hope he lives up to it. Not sure on the solo spin and a few picked up feet in his first feather step. Needs to watch his shoulder line and the pivots are a…
Read MoreRobbie 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…

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…
