Chris Hollins & Ola Jordan – Foxtrot
So, Chris has never been in the dance-off but has also never received a 10 so far in the competition. How is he going to respond to the perfect 50 that Ricky just achieved? Good to see Chris has decided not to work on his hands and face for the final 😉 Wait, was that…
Read MoreChris Hollins & Ola Jordan – Argentine Tango
Good to see Chris and Ola starting with true Argentine Tango basics. Needs to make sure he doesn’t hold back on the flicks though as they look a little stunted at times. I preferred their dance to Ali’s but I still only an 8 for me.
Read MoreChris Hollins & Ola Jordan – Rumba
I personally really liked Chris’ Rumba back in his first week but there was still significant room for improvement, let’s hope 10/11 weeks on has seen that improvement realised! At times Chris’ hands look really good, at others they are just stuck out, but thankfuly mainly there is some shaping there. I’d like to see…
Read MoreChris Hollins & Ola Jordan – Samba
Another Samba tonight, Ali scored well earlier on and it’ll be difficult to have such a direct comparison to her. I think Bruno might mention the stamping jump at the start, and Chris’ mouth is making a comeback. His hips are a little lacking but it’s a very good performance and I’ll give it an…
Read MoreChris Hollins & Ola Jordan – Waltz
A dance that needs elegance and romance, and I think Chris has what it takes to pull off a good one, but let’s see what happens. I’m not personally happy with his head position, it’s stretched a little oddly but the dance is looking good aside from that, although he really does need to incorporate…
Read MoreChris Hollins & Ola Jordan – Charlston
This week is going to be interesting then – two dances that I’ve never danced (albeit their elements feature in Quickstep and Jive). How to judge a dance you have no experience of…I’ll be in the same boat as Alesha for once! I know Chris is going for attitude, but I do wish he would…
Read MoreChris Hollins & Ola Jordan – Viennese Waltz
Chris has been hit-and-miss this series, let’s see how he copes with the tricky Viennese. Not quite sure that Chris’ feet were correct during the slow fleckerl at the start. Nice pivots, although you could see the tension forming in Chris’ shoulders every time he dances them. A good performance and should get 8’s.
Read MoreChris Hollins & Ola Jordan – Paso Doble
So Chris gave his best performance last week, can he keep it up with the Paso this week?Not sure on the facial expressions, but definitely an aggressive attacking attitude. I don’t personally like all the jumping stamps but the ending was very good and generally very good technique throughout. Easily 8’s, maybe even a 9…
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 MoreChris Hollins & Ola Jordan – Cha Cha
Fast and cheeky, this could make or break Chris.A bit too stompy throughout, needs to be softer and push through the floor, and Craig is definitely going to mention the ‘banana’ hands (as Emma’s just described them!), he needs to make sure there is a some shaping in his hands. Another round of 7’s I…
