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…

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…

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…

Ricky 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…

Phil 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.

Natalie 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
