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…

A few days later than intended, here’s Tuesday’s update! On Tuesday’s show they featured Sid & Ola, Fern & Artem and Lisa & Robin along with the return of Karen Hardy’s Choreography Corner.

So we had a pretty busy weekend of teaching and weren’t able to blog during the second show. I’ve decided to analyse the second show all in one big entry rather than spamming everyone with 8 separate entries two days after the live show. Going forward I’ll probably just do a Monday analysis of the…

So the leader board at the end of day 1 is above, how does it compare to my marks? 1: 7 Denise & James 2. 6 Michael & Natalie 2. 6 Nicky & Karen 4. 5 Colin & Kristina 4. 5 Fern & Artem 6. 3 Victoria & Brendan The judges and I aren’t quite…
Read MoreDenise Van Outen & James Jordan – Waltz
A nice elegant start, but they need to start Waltzing soon as this intro is going on quite a while. A nice head line from Denise, the fog makes it difficult to see her footwork at times.
Read MoreMichael 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…
Read MoreNicky 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…
Read MoreStrictly 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.
Read MoreNancy Dell'Olio & Anton Du Beke – Waltz
Two big egos, one dance, plenty of humour, though I don’t think the feather boa was part of the routine and unfortunately it’s pretty much ruined the whole performance. A complete mess I don’t feel it’s fair to even give it a score, I think Craig especially will be harsh. Craig: 1 “A word of…
Read MoreChelsee Healey & Pasha Kovalev – Waltz
After seeing her initial training video Chelsee was my early front runner, please don’t let me down tonight! So far so good, there’s just something about the way Chelsee holds herself when she dances, and she has a wonderful top line. A few stumbles here and there but this is one of the best first…
