Chris Hollins & Ola Jordan – Foxtrot
So, Chris has never been in the dance-off but has also never received a 10 so far in the competition. How is he going to respond to the perfect 50 that Ricky just achieved? Good to see Chris has decided not to work on his hands and face for the final 😉 Wait, was that…
Read MoreRicky Whittle & Natalie Lowe – Foxtrot
Please Natalie I hope you’ve sorted out Ricky’s odd head movements as they really do grate for me and often it ruins the whole look of the routine. Significant improvement in the head department, though he has to avoid looking down at the floor. Can’t see his footwork but a very good performance, not perfect…
Read MoreAli Bastian & Brian Fortuna – Foxtrot
Away from the sexy requirements of the Latin Ali should perform a great Foxtrot tonight. Like the Viennese the other week, Ali looks a little shaky at times but overall another almost faultless performance (a little hard to tell whether she was correctly releasing the toe when moving backward – good old Strictly camera angles!)…
Read MoreNatalie Cassidy & Vincent Simone – Foxtrot
Not too sure on the hair-bow! But should really concentrate on the dancing I suppose.Not liking the dance to be honest, it’s a little un-imaginative and boring and doesn’t appear to have much contrast of fast and slow. Lots of mistakes creeping in and overall a real let down for me. I’d give them 6’s.
Read MoreChris Hollins & Ola Jordan – Foxtrot
Foxtrot is the most technically difficult of all the dances and I think lack of confidence could see Chris dancing round with raised shoulders, which would really ruin the look of the dance. Needs to make sure that when he’s moving backwards that he’s lifting the toe of the trailing foot off the ground (known…
Read MoreJade Johnson & Ian Waite – Foxtrot
The Foxtrot is a slow and elegant dance and, like most ballroom dances, tends to suit the taller couples – and these two are certainly both tall!For an athlete Jade does manage to pull off elegant quite well. A little bit of gapping between them , Jade needs to slow down when she’s the one…
Read MoreChris Hollins & Ola Jordan – American Smooth
Although I consider the Foxtrot to be the hardest of the ballroom dances, American Smooth is another thing entirely, due to the introduction of lifts.The American Smooth is the application of a bit of Hollywood glitz and glamour to any of the five ballroom dances: the Waltz, Foxtrot, Tango, Quickstep or Viennese Waltz. To bring…
Read MoreThe 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…
Read MoreThe 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…
Read MoreRicky Groves & Erin Boag – Foxtrot
Can the Strictly comedian pull off a serious Foxtrot, well if he can sort out that frame he might have a chance.The high shoulders do ruin the look, and contribute to the unplanned tilt in the spins. Shoulders are getting higher as the dance progresses, and that’s such a shame. A nice Foxtrot, ignoring the…
