Blog WEEK 10
‘Musical Week’ as we reach the last few stages of this years
competition and our seven gallant couples become six which of them is going to
be all Broadway glamour and who will be walking the Yellow Brick Road home, an
amazing opening from our professional dancers to ‘Anything goes’ from the
musical of the same name which has been running for over seventy nine years and
still makes you want to get up and dance, it really is getting difficult to
pick the finalists from this years celebrities as the bar is so high, I think
we are going to be in for a few disappointments over the next couple of weeks
so KEEEEEEP VOTING!
Patrick & Anya
Charleston C8 D10 L10
B10 T38
For energy alone Patrick deserved tens, it just never
stopped or faded, great style, great presentation and great energy, I did
however find the music very difficult to follow and easily find the Charleston
swing, but Patrick smashed it.
Natalie & Artem
American Smooth Foxtrot C9 D9 L8
B10 T36
Beautiful fluid movements with perfectly finished lines and
musical interpretation made this a true professional performance, however I did
feel that the ending lost energy and emotion somehow, and I did agree with Lens
comment on the Foxtrot content, an American smooth should still be two thirds
Foxtrot and one third lifts and breaks in tradition hold, but you cannot help
swaying around on the sofa when watching these two together.
Mark & Iveta
Samba C7 D7 L7
B8 T29
A true Samba showing great content and a good standard of technique,
there were a few stonking heels at times but I loved the presentation and Marks
ability to make me smile when I’m watching him dance.
Sophie & Brendan
Viennese Waltz C9 D9 L9
B9 T36
A lovely rotary Viennese Waltz with perpetual natural and
reverse turns, a little lighter lilting action and a little straighter in the
legs when closing the feet would have created a slightly smoother rotation and
help to keep Sophie from leaning backwards as all the judges commented on it
but none of them helped to correct it, but I loved the choreography and
movement.
Abbey & Aljaz
Salsa C10 D10 L10
B10 T40
WOW, I loved the presentation and constant energy levels,
Abbey’s performance was incredible, I personally would have preferred to see
the Salsa danced deeper into the floor, as they were quite light on their feet
and the Disco music actually gave it more of a Hustle feel than a Salsa, but
Abbey keep working this hard and we will see you in the final.
Ashley & Ola
Rumba C8 D9 L9
B9 T35
Rumba is very difficult for a male to look masculine yet
fluid and Ashley performed it perfectly there was some nice content and feeling
to their routine it was clean and tidy and for me Ashley it was right on the
money.
Susanna & Kevin
Quickstep C7 D8 L9
B9 T33
This was one of the best Quickstep presentations we have
seen this series, fast and furious with more content packed in than a tin of
sardines, Susanna has wowed us and dances like she has been dancing for years,
I crown Susanna Reid the dancer of the BBC award 2013!
Sunday Results Show
A Fame musical opening from our professional dancers that
would look at home on any West End stage, but for the third time we see Mark
& Iveta in the dreaded dance off, along with Ashley & Ola but Ashley
and Ola make it through to the Quarter Finals. Mark you have been a star and strictly
A1 performer, I hope you keep dancing.
