Strictly this week
Pete and Jowita - Tango
Posture all wrong but he held the frame well and he kept it throughout the dance. Good footwork. Timing okay behind in place and there was no staccato but that might have been the choreography.
Sarah & Vito - Rumba
Wow love the entrance. Great arms and hand placement. Legs and feet placement was great. Nice fans, great Alemana and lovely promenades.
JB & Lauren - Charleston
Loved this routine, full of fun and character very professional. The transitions were great and the lifts and tricks brilliant.
Jamie & Michelle - Foxtrot
Nice frame, need to now hold the head still in hold and slightly lower. The drive was missing which means we lost the rise and fall and the sway, but the legs were placed nicely under the body. Good timing but no light and shade.
Chris and Dianne - Paso Doble
Chris’ posture has improved so much over the weeks. Great timing rhythm and character. I didn’t see any mistakes and they were so together. I’m amazed how he covers the floor so much.
Montell & Jojo - Quickstep
Better in hold than out of hold. There was quite a bit of gapping though and she look a bit stiff in places. Good footwork and I liked the choreography, with its changes of rhythm.
Tasha & Aljaz - American Smooth
This girl has the most beautiful back. Frame was super and her armology of the sale. Lovely foot placement and tracking beautiful story telling
My dance of the night
Samba I agreed with the order
Am I allowed to respond? Personally, I *loved* the foxtrot. I thought it was beautiful and would have been very pleased to have been able to dance half as well. I was disappointed at the judges' comments, but clearly I wasn't looking at his head! I agree with you Janet about the "drive" though. But it was simply beautiful.
