Ricky Whittle & Natalie Lowe – American Smooth
Ricky was worried during the week about having to do the lifts, and I don’t blame him! Nothing against Natalie, but lifting anyone completely off the ground is a difficult task. Ricky’s head still concerns me when he’s dancing Ballroom, it always seems to be a little tilted, and he needs to make sure he…

Read MoreRicky Whittle & Natalie Lowe – Jive
Can Ricky make it through this week’s routine without making mistakes?Lots of energy, though i’d prefer to see his feet come together a little more during the chasses. Flicks are quick though the toes need to be pointed down during each kick. Seemed to have lost stamina by the end though, not surprised with the…
Read MoreJade Johnson & Ian Waite – Jive
Whilst Ian’s certainly never had a problem performing a Jive (considering his height), Jade may find she struggles with the speed of movement required. Looks to be a slightly flat beginning, but it’s good to see her toes pointing down during the flicks. Maybe I spoke too soon, when they’re in their Lindyhop section her…

Read MoreRicky Whittle & Natalie Lowe – Quickstep
I hope Natalie has worked on Ricky’s frame, as that’s the one part of his dancing that I’ve felt has been particularly lacking.An energetic performance and hard to fault at times (though he needs to ensure he brings the feet closer together during the scatter chasses). I really found it hard to fault and this…
Read MoreRicky Whittle & Natalie Lowe – Samba
Although I don’t agree with the 10 they received last week Ricky is still definitely the one to beat.A little too feminine , with less hip action then i’d actually expect. Also steps were all wrong in the promenade runs. Better hip action later in the dance but needs to avoid bunching his hands. Not…
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 MoreRicky Whittle & Natalie Lowe – Salsa
Ricky could pull out another top spot, and take the glory from Anton, but I was only thinking 8’s earlier.The start is a little disjointed for me and just seems to be a collection of moves rather than coherent dance. Good hip actions though, shame about the hands not quite working in the between the…
