Strictly Come Dancing 2012 – Week 6

30 seconds in to the opening VT and Emma (the wife) has already declared the pairing of Tess & Claudia to be better than Brucie & Tess…think I’ll reserve judgement for now but I think I’m probably going to agree with her. Is Tess playing Brucie today, or has she dressed as a pseudo-man just…

Michael Vaughan & Natalie Lowe – Waltz

Michael has some nice movement but his head position makes him look uncomfortable, and like Nicky he needs to improve his posture and stand up straighter. Also think he may have just been out of time at the start. Needs to work on his chasse footwork as he’s coming down too early and doing a…

Nicky Byrne & Karen Hauer – Waltz

Personally I’m a fan of the tail suit for Ballroom dances but I suppose he has the body to pull off the Lycra shirt! Posture isn’t great during the opening intro, really needs to stand up more and keep himself from hunching over. Timing seems to go a bit iffy during the pivots and it’s…

Strictly Training Video analysis

So Strictly starts in a little while and all the training videos have now been released. I’ve decided to analyse them all in one big post rather than 14 individual entries so that you can directly compare all of the pre-show training.
