Felicity 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…

Strictly 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…

Ali 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.

Competition 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…

Chris 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.

The moment of truth, dance off, and result

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…

Ricky Groves & Erin Boag – Viennese Waltz

Another celebrity who’s more at home in the ballroom dances. His Viennese American Smooth was very good so I’m expecting good things tonight.A little skippy, which i’m sure Craig will pick up on, fleckerl wasn’t too bad though. The dance is let down by the skipping as it ruins the overall look, and with only…

Professional's Viennese Waltz

The group Viennese Waltz was choreographed by Ian Waite – apparently the chandeliers are in completely different positions from where he was originally told!Looks like the pro’s have managed to cope though.

Ali Bastian & Brian Fortuna – Viennese Waltz

Ali really suffered with an injury last week, but this should be very good and could finish top if all goes well. Ali really does pull off elegance with aplomb, it looks a little skippy at points but excellent nonetheless. I can’t really fault the performance, it looked a little shaky at times but this…
