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…
Read MoreMichelle 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…
Read MorePamela 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…
Read MoreGavin 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…
Read MoreFelicity 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…
Read MoreScott 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…
Read MoreStrictly Come Dancing – Saturday 23rd October
So this week will see the couples dancing either a Tango or a Charleston. Tina O’Brien will return from her chicken pox whilst Ann Widdecombe will be flying through the air. It promises to be an entertaining week and yet again I’ve not had a chance to watch the training videos so I have no…
Read MoreFirst Flavia & Vincent, now Ann & Anton are going to fly in their Tango
To try and give their routine a bit more pizazz, Ann and Anton have decided to go all Peter Pan and hopefully sprinkle some magic fairy dust on the judges…especially Craig I imagine. Anton felt that they needed to have something “outrageous” in their routine to try and win over the judges, and hopefully encourage…
Read MoreJade Johnson & Ian Waite Tango
After seeing that there’s no doubt that Jade was an incredibly strong contender for this title. My old teacher Mary (Ian’s step-mum) choreographed this dance and was gutted when they couldn’t perform it on the night. I feel so sorry for Ian as this was probably his best chance for making it to the final,…
Read MoreAli Bastian & Brian Fortuna – Tango
Another dance where Ali won’t be able to ‘float’ round the floor so will be interesting to see how she copes with the passion and aggression required in this dance. Slight slip in the spins at the start and they appear to be incorporating rising into the dance at points. Ali is looking quite unsteady…
