Michelle Williams & Ian Waite (in place of Brendan) – Tango

Craig was quoted this week as saying that he thinks Ian may prove to be a better partner for Michelle than Brendan for the Tango. Michelle is definitely looking miles better than she has so far in this competition, 10 seconds in it’s already her best dance.  Still a little shaky and awkward at times…

Strictly Come Dancing launch show

Strictly’s back, we’re back, everyone’s back…well except for a few of our favourite professionals. What do I think of this year’s lineup?  Quite a good lineup even if the average age is apparently now 45.  There’s a few people (as usual) that I have no idea who they are but there does appear to be…

Jade Johnson & Ian Waite Tango

After seeing that there’s no doubt that Jade was an incredibly strong contender for this title.

I feel so sorry for Ian as this was probably his best chance for making it to the final,…

The moment of truth, dance off, and result

Who stays, and who has to dance again? Well done Ian for getting through! So Phil gets public support, how about CK? Out of those bottom 3 (Laila, Ricky Groves, Craig) I think Laila will be through… Sorry CK but I think your time is definitely up now! Good to see Ricky gets the arms…

Jade Johnson & Ian Waite – Jive

Whilst Ian’s certainly never had a problem performing a Jive (considering his height), Jade may find she struggles with the speed of movement required. Looks to be a slightly flat beginning, but it’s good to see her toes pointing down during the flicks. Maybe I spoke too soon, when they’re in their Lindyhop section her…
