Jade 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…

Same as last week, I don’t think anyone has to predict this one!Another no-question 4-0 send home. This is going to make the next couple of weeks really tough for those that are left though as the two [debatably] worst dancers have now left the show.

Time for Jo to go i’m afraid.Another good performance from Jade & Ian and a better one from Jo but still no contest between the two.
Read MoreThe moment of truth!
Expecting a Jo and Craig dance-off, but how will the audience have voted? Also for those that were at the Royal Albert Hall with us last week I hope you recognised the World Champions on the night doing their display!Truly amazing dancers and you can see why they’re number 1 in the world! Shame we…
Read MoreJade Johnson & Ian Waite – Samba
So Ian has done well in the Samba in the past, let’s see how they get on tonight.Jade needs to pick her head up and it’s not as bouncy-feeling as i’d have liked but overall a very good performance. Not sure how the judges will go but I think it’ll be 8-9.

Don’t think anyone really needs me to predict on this one do they?If it’s not 4-0 i’ll eat my laptop! Didn’t realise Ian was moonlighting with Zoe! …and there’s the confirmation from Len. I think Joe needed to go, but he definitely went out on his best dance – what do you think?

Read MoreRicky Whittle & Natalie Lowe – Viennese Waltz
For me Ricky’s ballroom frame has not yet been good enough to warrant the marks he’s received, let’s see if it’s any better tonight.Looking much, much better Ricky, just please hold that frame!!! Well this could definitely give Jade a run for her money, though does appear to lost balance during the reverse fleckles. An…
Read MoreJade Johnson & Ian Waite – Viennese Waltz
My predicted leaderboard leaders are up next. Saw a preview from them on Thursday night at the International Ballroom Dancing Championships and it looked pretty good then.Very nice fluid beginning, just needs to watch her left arm as it looks to be dropping a little. Sometimes I really wish the cameras would allow us to…
Read MoreTraining updates – Viennese Waltz & Jive
So we have the difficulty of the constantly rotating Viennese, and making it look smooth and effortless, compared to the speed, energy, and lightness required of the Jive. With the Viennese Waltz there should be a smooth lilting sway from side to side, rather than the classic ‘rise and fall’ of the other traditional ballroom…
