Natalie 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…
Read MoreCraig 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…
Read MoreLaila Rouass & Anton du Beke – Foxtrot
I’ve predicted this to get the top marks of the night, don’t let me down Laila!Will be interesting to see if the midweek publicity affects how the public vote, but let’s hope the performance is what people focus on. I want to see a 9’s performance here guys! Foxtrot is definitely my favourite dance and…
Read MoreJoe Calzaghe & Kristina Rihanoff – Foxtrot
Joe has been consistently stuck to the bottom of the leaderboard, and I don’t expect things to change tonight I’m afraid and I still think he’ll struggle to achieve 5’s. Looks good in a tux though, and this is one of my favourite songs (albeit the Muse version!) Wooden start with the clicking, and needs…
