Laila Rouass & Anton du Beke – Viennese Waltz
Back to ballroom, and Anton’s forte, we should see significant improvement this weekThe training mid-week for this looked excellent, let’s hope she can perform tonight. There’s something just not quite right with her frame, it doesn’t look like she’s quite standing up from her core, which is resulting in a slight chin protusion. That slip…
Read MoreRicky Groves & Erin Boag – American Smooth
Ricky and Erin have decided to choose a Viennese Waltz as their American Smooth dance and from the training videos I think that could prove to be a good choice.Shame he was out of time at the start there as they came together. An excellent performance, with a cheeky bit of Quickstep thrown in for…
Read MorePhil Tufnell & Katya Virshilas – Viennese Waltz
This was looking very good, if a little boppy in training…Unfortunately still quite a lot of bobbing there Phil but some lovely throwaways. A bit of a frantic ending for my liking, and the finish appeared to go a bit wrong. Should easily get the 7’s I thought it would though.
Read MoreNatalie Cassidy & Vincent Simone – Viennese Waltz
Thought training for the Viennese looked quite good, though I’ve only predicted 7’s.Picking her feet up far too high in the pivots at the start and it’s causing an horrendous motion. Too boppy for my liking, nice hands when out of hold though. 6-7
Read MoreRicky Whittle & Natalie Lowe – Viennese Waltz
For me Ricky’s ballroom frame has not yet been good enough to warrant the marks he’s received, let’s see if it’s any better tonight.Looking much, much better Ricky, just please hold that frame!!! Well this could definitely give Jade a run for her money, though does appear to lost balance during the reverse fleckles. An…
Read MoreZoe Lucker & James Jordan – Jive
Another celeb that I’ve been waiting to see perform a fast Latin dance. I thought training looked good, let’s hope the nerves don’t get the better of her.I think she needs to take slightly smaller back steps, and another celeb who doesn’t keep the toes down when flicking. It’s a little lacklustre for my liking,…
Read MoreJo Wood & Brendan Cole – Viennese Waltz
I’m afraid Jo that i’ve put you at the bottom of the table before tonight’s show, please prove me wrong…First few spins it actually looked smooth and I thought “wow, what an improvement”, then unfortunately it continued and it almost looks at times like Jo is running round Brendan rather than dancing. Nowhere near as…
Read MoreJade Johnson & Ian Waite – Viennese Waltz
My predicted leaderboard leaders are up next. Saw a preview from them on Thursday night at the International Ballroom Dancing Championships and it looked pretty good then.Very nice fluid beginning, just needs to watch her left arm as it looks to be dropping a little. Sometimes I really wish the cameras would allow us to…
Read MoreTraining updates – Viennese Waltz & Jive
So we have the difficulty of the constantly rotating Viennese, and making it look smooth and effortless, compared to the speed, energy, and lightness required of the Jive. With the Viennese Waltz there should be a smooth lilting sway from side to side, rather than the classic ‘rise and fall’ of the other traditional ballroom…
