Ricky 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…

Jo 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.…

Joe 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…

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…

Zoe 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…

Lynda 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…
