Strictly Come Dancing 2012 – Week 7: Dance Through The Decades
Just when you thought we were safe from themed weeks it appears tonight at Wembley is going to be ‘Dance Through The Decades’, why can’t we just have dance through the show instead?! You can definitely see that this is designed to be a higher budget show, amazing what a difference it makes when you’re…

Another week of Strictly, but what’s this…no theme…what are we going to do with ourselves. We might actually have to judge the performances on their dancing! Once again we didn’t get a chance to watch any of the training footage this week, though a little birdy tells me that Vincent & Dani are doing a…
Read MoreStrictly Come Dancing week 5 – Halloween Special
Apologies for not blogging on last week’s action, but unfortunately we just couldn’t get the time. Tonight is the Strictly Halloween Special, and I can already predict that the scariest thing is going to be Nancy! First up is Russell Grant & Flavia Cacace with their Samba
Read MoreMatt Baker & Aliona Vilani – Samba
Hearing the screams last week (at BBC TV Centre) every time Matt was announced/appeared I know he has a strong audience backing but to be honest any one of the three finalists would be a worthy winner of the glitter ball trophy, and I’m pretty sure it’s the best final line-up we’ve ever had. Matt…
Read MoreGavin Henson & Katya Virshilas – Samba
The weakest of the contenders still left in the competition Gavin is most likely going home this weekend, especially if he has Samba…but we’ll see. Gavin certainly trying with his hips but the whole routine looks a little manic, and if Craig penalised Kara & Artem for their slight over-extension to lift status Gavin is…
Read MoreStrictly Come Dancing – Saturday 20th November
Ok so it’s a little bit late, but we’ve been working out in St Lucia so I’m sure you’ll forgive us a small delay! I have a confession though, I already know who went home on both of the two weeks that I missed (pretty difficult to avoid the whole internet and all our students…
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 MoreAli Bastian & Brian Fortuna – Samba
The bogey dance so far for most competitors, and I don’t think the Samba will prove to be her dance tonight either. Still looks too ‘nice’ and on a couple of moves Ali doesn’t appear to finish before she’s on to the next step and really needs to dance from the floor. I don’t think…
Read MoreNatalie Cassidy & Vincent Simone – Samba
When I saw the training videos mid-week she looked a little flat so i’m hoping Vincent’s addressed that since. Len will definitely appreciate them going straight into the dance. For me i’d have Natalie take slightly more compact steps, this would help with the hip action. The bounce was improved over mid-week but I still…
Read MoreThe dance off!
So who can impress the judges enough to make it to Blackpool?First up Ali with her Paso Doble…and what’s this no shoes? Which straight away results in a slip. However I would say a much better performance than earlier on in the night. How will Zoe reply to that? No real improvement on her earlier…
