Audley Harrison & Natalie Lowe – Salsa
I still feel it’s a bit too disco and not enough Salsa, Audley still looks flat footed as he moves around. Plenty of personality but he must avoid looking down. Some really good spins but Audley needs to take smaller steps and try to control his body better. Not a bad Salsa but just a…
Read MoreChelsee Healey & Pasha Kovalev – Salsa
Energetic start though not sure on the outfit. Good floor spin but I think they’ve chosen the outfit to mask a lack of hip action. Chelsee looks a little tired near the end and I think there was maybe a bit too much choreography, not enough time for Chelsee to perfect her technique. I expected…
Read MoreStrictly Come Dancing Week 2 Rehearsals
So week 2 of Strictly is upon us, and there’s a new round of training videos to pour over. I’ve watched training videos on It Takes Two from Wednesday, Thursday and Friday as well as the above video for my comments.This year they have removed the dance off (stupid idea if you ask me) so…
Read MoreKara Tointon & Artem Chigvintsev – Salsa
Salsa starts as a basic and quite easy dance but can soon progress into very complex and intricate moves…and I’m guessing these guys won’t have shied away from that. They start with a cartwheel over Artem’s shoulder…yet another example of how the Strictly rulebook has gone out of the window! I feel Kara looks a…

As a change this week I’ve decided to blog my analysis all in one post, it’ll make it easier for you guys reading too. However I will post links as I go so you may need to refresh the page to see each new comment if you’re watching live (well I’m starting about half an…
Read MoreLaila Rouass & Anton du Beke – Salsa
They’ve not impressed in the Latin so far this series, the training looks good but can they ‘bring it’ on the night? Why Laila, why always the mistakes? Especially when you’re apart from Anton it just makes it so obvious. Emma asked me yesterday my prediction for who was going out tonight, I predicted Laila…
Read MoreThe moment of truth, dance off, and result
Who stays, and who has to dance again? Well done Ian for getting through! So Phil gets public support, how about CK? Out of those bottom 3 (Laila, Ricky Groves, Craig) I think Laila will be through… Sorry CK but I think your time is definitely up now! Good to see Ricky gets the arms…
Read MoreRicky Groves & Erin Boag – Salsa
Ricky could have some issues with this fast and complicated dance, but let’s hope he puts on a good show. Well it looks like the goldfish mouth is back with a vengeance, shame the hands are a little sloppy. Some really complex arm movements there, shame about the mistake though. Entertaining and I think deserves…
Read MorePhil Tufnell & Katya Virshilas – Salsa
Phil could’ve done with a Foxtrot to give his knee a bit of a rest…Surprisingly good beginning and really nice hip movement and confidence. A little bit basic at times, with a lot of repetition but that’s most likely due to the reduced practice time they’ve had available. Not a bad Salsa at all and…
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.
