Kara Tointon & Artem Chigvintsev – Viennese Waltz
A lot to follow this week after Pamela’s 40 last week. Needs to watch looking down during the spins at the start as she just looked slightly off balance. Some of the transitions from in and out of hold look a little messy. They obviously tried to put more in than Pamela and James last…
Read MorePamela Stephenson & James Jordan – Viennese Waltz
A wonderfully elegant start and looking great in hold, though I still feel her shoulders could be lower in hold. A great dramatisation and excellent retelling of the ‘Ghost’ storyline. Aside from her shoulder line there’s not really anything I can criticise so I’m actually going to give it a 10. Craig: 10 “Elegant…stylish…tasteful…full of…
Read MoreScott Maslen & Natalie Lowe – Viennese Waltz
Good to see someone getting [pretty much] straight into the dance. I feel Scott is just a little wooden during the fleckerls. It’s a good performance but I felt they did better last week, easily an 8 though. Craig: 9 Len: 10 “Last week good, this week great…absolutely spell binding” Alisha: 10 “I think you…
Read MoreFelicity Kendal & Vincent Simone – Viennese Waltz
Felicity and Vincent appear to have gone down a very traditional route, in terms of the history of the dance from the balls of Vienna. It takes them quite a while to get down onto the floor though (from the bridge) which I know Len isn’t going to like. There’s a little bit too much…
Read MoreStrictly Come Dancing – Saturday 30th October
It’s Strictly Come Dancing, it’s Halloween, and we have shirtless male pro dancers to start the show. Shame the band can’t quite live up to Matt Bellamy’s vocal range. A powerful performance though and a great way to open the show. So tonight we’re going to see a Jive, Paso Doble, Viennese Waltz and Argentine…
Read MoreAli Bastian & Brian Fortuna – Viennese Waltz
A perfect 40 in Blackpool, let’s see if they can recreate that magical dance tonight. Ali’s elegance always suits the mainly slow Ballroom dances. A little shaky at times but otherwise faultless and I think this could be the first perfect score of the night.

Fresh from leaving the show on Saturday night, Anton gives us his top 3 tips on dancing the Viennese Waltz:
Read MoreCompetition Viennese Waltz
So the first time that the competitors have been required to actually compete against each other, let’s see how they cope with a normal dancing competition scenario. This will be made difficult by the camera angles, very hard to compare when it keeps jumping around. For me I still think Ricky’s frame is not the…
Read MoreChris Hollins & Ola Jordan – Viennese Waltz
Chris has been hit-and-miss this series, let’s see how he copes with the tricky Viennese. Not quite sure that Chris’ feet were correct during the slow fleckerl at the start. Nice pivots, although you could see the tension forming in Chris’ shoulders every time he dances them. A good performance and should get 8’s.

I’m expecting Laila to be saved by public vote, and a Natalie Cassidy/Phil Tufnell dance-off – but how have the public voted?Well that’s one of my dance-off possibles saved by the public, could Laila be in trouble this week? Either way I think they’ll save her till the bottom three. As expected! Out of these…
