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

Strictly Come Dancing Week 3

Ok due to our Bournemouth Dance Weekend this weekend I’ve had to save the blogging until today.  Rather than inundating everyone with posts I’m just going to do it in one long one instead. This week is Broadway week, why? I don’t know but I suppose they feel the need to have some form of…

Ann Widdecombe & Anton Du Beke – Tango

I’m hoping Ann isn’t wearing a skirt this week if she’s going to be flying through the studio! Not sure about the arm waving Ann, not quite Tango…but I’m sure that’s not what we were going for.  Ann is skipping at times, Anton probably should take slightly smaller steps to help her out. Give her…

Michelle Williams & Ian Waite (in place of Brendan) – Tango

Craig was quoted this week as saying that he thinks Ian may prove to be a better partner for Michelle than Brendan for the Tango. Michelle is definitely looking miles better than she has so far in this competition, 10 seconds in it’s already her best dance.  Still a little shaky and awkward at times…

Pamela Stephenson & James Jordan – Tango

So far the best dancer in the competition I’m really looking forward to their Tango. Good arms from Pamela and good pivots, maybe a little more emotion in the face and needs to watch her shoulders.  A few slips in places but definitely a good connection between them. Not her best dance but still a…

Gavin Henson & Katya Virshilas – Tango

Time to see some emotion this week I hope Gavin.  Shame to start with the slip on the stairs – I swear his cheeks look red after that. Lifting his feet up too much and a complete lack of emotion on his face and the same lifting action when they repeat the same section. Gavin…

Felicity Kendal & Vincent Simone – Tango

So Tango is Vincent’s forte, but it appears Felicity can’t tell her left from her right, always a problem in dancing! Not liking Vincent’s hat, so I’m glad they put it down.  Some great intensity at teh start, though they are doing Argentine rather than normal Tango.  Needs to keep her chin up when she’s…

Scott Maslen & Natalie Lowe – Tango

Scott impressed with his Quickstep last week, though I didn’t feel it was quite a 9 yet.  A Tango should fit in with Scott’s acting ability though, and Natalie does choreograph good routines. There’s definitely intensity from the start, and Scott definitely looks like he’s losing weight.  I’m not a fan of the short jackets…
