Read MoreRicky Groves & Erin Boag – Paso Doble
Facial hair seems to be a theme this week, let’s see if Ricky can master the posture and lose the hips – save them for the other Latin dances!He’s certainly come out on the floor with the right attitude, not too sure about the scream though, is he in pain? The trouble with wearing a…
Read MoreJo Wood & Brendan Cole – Paso
I had Jo down as the one to exit last week, let’s see if she can repay all those people who voted for her.Well definitely a better performance than last week, though needs to keep her head up, and her shoulders are a little off line at times. Shame about the end being mucked up.…
Read MoreJoe Calzaghe & Kristina Rihanoff – Paso Doble
The pre-series favourite sent the bookies laughing all the way to the bank in the first week. Paso however could be more his dance.Interesting belt there Joe! In Paso the man stands up straight with a slight curve outwards in the spine, Joe appears to be a little hunched over throughout. Will definitely lose marks…
Read MoreRicky Whittle & Natalie Lowe – Paso Doble
Marked as ‘The One To Beat’ last week, I wouldn’t have marked him quite as highly myself but he’s definitely the main contender, if he can keep it up.Natalie looks a little nervous before walking out, but on the evidence of the first couple of moves I don’t think there’s anything to be nervous about.…
Read MoreNatalie Cassidy & Vincent Simone – Paso Doble
A chance for Natalie to really get her acting skills out, if she manages to get over the nerves.Dancing is exhausting, especially for those coming to the 10 dance recaps all next week! Better Flamenco hands at the start than Lynda’s effort. Hands are a little high when coming across her chest at times. Much…
Read MoreZoe Lucker & James Jordan – Paso Doble
Another top partnership back to dance again. Nice dress, now what about the dance? Good shapes at the start and throughout, though really waiting for a big WOW moment, seems a little lacklustre. I wonder if James grew the facial hair especially for the dance? Hunched over at times but overall not too bad. Best…
Read MoreLynda Bellingham & Darren Bennett – Paso Doble
A dance that requires passion and performance. Cha Cha wasn’t very good last time but this could be a lot better. Classic dress design, not quite sure about the Flamenco moves to start with – too rushed to get the impact. Lacks ‘attack’ and is a bit too soft for my liking but definitely better…
Read MoreNatalie Cassidy & Vincent Simone – Cha Cha
Confident in training and not afraid to move her hips around will be interesting to see whether technique is forgotten once the performance takes over?Need to cross the legs during a lock step Natalie and the arms are a little flung out at points. Lively in places but not inspiring, think this will be a…
Read MoreRicky Whittle & Natalie Lowe – Rumba
Hitchhiker! That’s the word I was thinking of, still not good i’m afraid though Richard.So, the girl’s favourite is up next, and starts by flashing the torso to his fans! Nice hip action but needs to sort the shoulders out – makes him look uncomforable. Really good lines however and the only partnership to utilise…
