The dance off!
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.

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 MoreFinally it starts!
Though I must thank F1 as I didn’t get home till 7.30pm so would’ve been behind (again) with the blog if there hadn’t been that delay!So yesterday I predicted that Joe might actually not end up on the bottom tonight, and Jade could well take top spot. Let’s see what happens, first up – Ricky…
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…
Read MoreJade Johnson & Ian Waite – Salsa
Jade injured herself during training and I hope it doesn’t affect the performance too much tonight.Based on the training videos I thought this could be 8’s. Good hip action, but has to watch the back breaks, they could benefit from being a lot more compact. Energetic but seems a little lost at points. 7-8’s.
Read MoreJade Johnson & Ian Waite – Quickstep
A fast dance which could suit Jade’s athleticism, even if it ends up wearing Ian out!Jade looks a little uncomfortable during the jump from the stage, and is a little behind at the start of the next jump section. Needs to relax the shoulders and make sure she isn’t pushing the head forward. Certainly full…
