[Strictly Jake]

Over the next week or so I will be going through the dances giving a brief description and a history of the dance along with showing my 3 favourite versions of the dance by some of my favourite celebs on strictly

[Strictly Jake]

The Jive

In latin dancing, the jive is a dance style that originated in the United States from African-Americans in the early 1930s. It is a lively and uninhibited variation of the Jitterbug, a form of Swing dance

American soldiers brought Lindy Hop/Jitterbug to Europe around 1940, where this dance swiftly found a following among the young. In the United States the term Swing became the most common word used to describe the dance, and the term "jive" was adopted in the UK. Variations in technique led to styles such as boogie-woogie and swing boogie, with "jive" gradually emerging as the generic term in the UK

After the war, the boogie became the dominant form for popular music. It was, however, never far from criticism as a foreign, vulgar dance. The famous ballroom dancing guru, Alex Moore, said that he had "never seen anything uglier". In 1968 it was adopted as the fifth Latin dance in International competitions. The modern form of ballroom jive in the 1990s–present, is a very happy and boppy dance, the lifting of knees and the bending or rocking of the hips often occurs.

Here are my top 3 favourite Jives

The Tango

Tango is a popular partner dance and social dance that originated in the 1880s along the River Plate (Río de Plata), the natural border between Argentina and Uruguay. It was born in the impoverished port areas of these countries, where natives mixed with slave and European immigrant populations.

The tango was frequently practiced in the brothels and bars of ports, where business owners employed bands to entertain their patrons with music. The tango then spread to the rest of the world. Many variations of this dance currently exist around the world.

The tango consists of a variety of styles that developed in different regions and eras of Argentina as well as in other locations around the world. The dance developed in response to many cultural elements, such as the crowding of the venue and even the fashions in clothing. The styles are mostly danced in either open embrace, where lead and followhave space between their bodies, or close embrace, where the lead and follow connect either chest-to-chest (Argentine tango) or in the upper thigh, hip area (American and International tango)

These are some of my favourite Tango performances

[Amy Jade]

I'm pulling a Tonya Harding on whoever gets AJ

[Strictly Jake]

Ok so today's ladies and gentlemen we are going to be exploring the charleston and the Samba

The Charleston

At first, the step started off with a simple twisting of the feet, to rhythm in a lazy sort of way. [This could well be the Jay-Bird.] When the dance hit Harlem, a new version was added. It became a fast kicking step, kicking the feet, both forward and backward and later done with a tap."

The Charleston and similar dances such as the Black Bottom which involved "Kicking up your heels" were very popular in the later part of the 1920s. They became less popular after 1930, possibly because after seven years of being fashionable people simply became less interested

A slightly different form of Charleston became popular in the 1930s and 1940s, and is associated with Lindy Hop. In this later Charleston form, the hot jazz timing of the 20s Charleston was adapted to suit the swing jazz music of the 1930s and 1940s. This style of Charleston has many common names, though the most common are Lindy Charleston, Savoy Charleston, 30s or 40s Charleston and Swing(ing) Charleston. In both 20s Charleston and Swinging Charleston, the basic step takes eight counts and is danced either alone or with a partner.

Here are some of my favorite charleston performances

The Samba

Samba is a lively, rhythmical dance of Afro-Brazilian origin in 2/4(2 by 4) time danced to Samba music

Samba is a dance form that was created by African people in Brazil who brought much of their music and dance culture into Latin America with them upon arrival into many Latin American countries

Presently, the Samba is the most prevalent dance form in Brazil, and reaches the height of its importance during the festival of Carnaval. There is actually a set of dances, rather than a single dance, that define the Samba dancing scene in Brazil; however, no one dance can be claimed with certainty as the "original" Samba style.

A major stream of the Samba dance besides the Brazilian Samba dancing styles is ballroom Samba, which differs significantly

Here are my 3 favourite Sambas

Good day ladies and gentlemen today on strictly TiBB Dancing we will be exploring the cha cha and the waltz. I hope all the competitors are paying attention

The Cha Cha

Cha-cha-chá is danced to authentic Cuban music, although in ballroom competitions it is often danced to Latin Pop or Latin Rock. The music for the international ballroom cha-cha-chá is energetic and with a steady beat. The music may involve complex polyrhythms.

Styles of cha-cha-chá dance may differ in the place of the chasse in the rhythmical structure. The original Cuban and the ballroom cha-cha count is "two, three, chachacha", "four-and-one, two, three" or "one, two, three, chacha". The dance does not start on the first beat of a bar, though it can start with a transfer of weight to the lead's right

Here are 3 of my favourite cha chas

The waltz

The Waltz originated as a folk dance from Austria. The "king of dances" acquired different national traits in different countries. Thus there appeared the English Waltz, the Hungarian Waltz, and the Waltz-Mazurka. The "Waltz" is derived from the old German word "walzen" meaning "to roll, turn", or "to glide". Waltz was danced competitively since 1923 or 1924.

International Standard Waltz is a Waltz dance and danced to slow waltz music, preferably 28-30 bars per minute (84-90 beats per minute).Waltz music is in 3/4 time and the 1st beat of a measure is strongly accented.

Like all Standard category dances, Waltz is a progressive dance, meaning that dancers travel along a path known as the line of dance. It is characterized by pendulum swingmovements and incorporates general elements of ballroom technique such as foot parallelism, rise and fall, contra body movement and sway.

Some of my favorite waltz in strictly are

Great to see Jay and Aliona's jive again, it's in my top five all-time favourite Strictly dances.

she was early boot yes, but this was probably her best dance she did, this waltz to somewhere :)

[Strictly Jake]

The American Smooth

The American Smooth can be best described as a form of ballroom dancing with an enhanced repertoire of easy to perform, yet exciting steps. It incorporates steps from three ballroom disciplines - the Waltz, Viennese Waltz and Foxtrot.

How routines should look:

It is more elaborate and creative than ballroom dancing - think Fred and Ginger.

All the basic principles and technique of ballroom dancing still apply, however partners are not required to maintain continuous body contact.

Fluid movements

Erect and elegant posture, in and out of hold

Routines should include:

The ruling on the show is that you must be in hold for 40 percent of the dance.

Routines can incorporate a lift and show shuffles.

The dancers can perform steps such as: lady under arm turns, spins, side by side positions, parallel turns, dips, drops and other variations that would never be allowed in the traditional ballroom dancing.

My favourite american smooths include

The Salsa

The Salsa

Salsa is a popular form of social dance originating from Cuban folkdances. The movements of Salsa are a combination of Afro-Cuban dance, Son, cha-cha-cha, mambo and other dance forms. The dance, along with salsa music, saw major development in the mid-1970s in New York. Different regions of Latin America and the United States have distinct salsa styles of their own, such as Cuban, Puerto Rican, Cali Colombia, L.A. and New York styles. Salsa dance socials are commonly held in night clubs, bars, ballrooms, restaurants, and outside, especially when part of an outdoor festival.

In many styles of salsa dancing, as a dancer shifts their weight by stepping, the upper body remains level and nearly unaffected by the weight changes. Weight shifts cause the hips to move. Arm and shoulder movements are also incorporated. Salsa generally uses music ranging from about 150 bpm (beats per minute) to around 250 bpm, although most dancing is done to music somewhere between 160–220 bpm. The basic Salsa dance rhythm consists of taking three steps for every four beats of music. The odd number of steps creates the syncopation inherent to Salsa dancing and ensures that it takes 8 beats of music to loop back to a new sequence of steps.

In some styles of salsa, such as the New York style, the dancers remain mostly in front of one another (switching places), while in Latin American styles, such as Cuban style, the dancers circle around each other, sometimes in 3 points

However, as it is a popular music, it is open to improvisation and thus it is continuously evolving

Here are my top Salsas on strictly

Tomorrow we will be exploring the Foxtrot and the Argentine Tango

[Nicky91]

regarding Salsa's you can have disco music for this particular dance (as proven that it works, on strictly)

regarding american smooths, you can have american smooth viennese waltz based, waltz based, quickstep based, foxtrot based

still you can't do too much lifts, there needs to be this technique seen in the performance, as well as a good ballroom hold

[Strictly Jake]

Exclusive: Producers were watching the rehearsals and watching for the chemistry behind the scenes at our first meet up. Some of our contestants and pros were getting on rather well. But some of the contestants have already started fighting. RileyH bumped into Barry and they got into a nasty catfight
...it's sure to be a really interesting series already...watch this space!

Launch will be next week and the couples have already been chosen. I urge the contestants to read up on my updates of the dances to get that expert knowledge in advance :thumbs:

[Strictly Jake]

The Foxtrot

The Foxtrot is a smooth, progressive dance characterized by long, continuous flowing movements across the dance floor. It is danced to big band(usually vocal) music. The dance is similar in its look to Waltz, although the rhythm is in a 4/4 time signature instead of 3/4. Developed in the 1910's, the Foxtrot reached its height of popularity in the 1930's, and remains practiced today

A beautiful, romantic dance, the Foxtrot is composed of fairly simple walking steps and side steps. The dance combines slow steps, which use two beats of music, and quick steps, which use one beat of music. The footwork timing is usually "slow, quick, quick" or "slow, slow, quick, quick." The Foxtrot must be danced very smoothly, with no jerking of the body. Timing is also a very important component of the Foxtrot. As the Foxtrot is more challenging than other styles of dance, it is usually recommended to master the Waltz and Quickstep prior to attempting it

The Argentine Tango

Argentine tango is a musical genre and accompanying social dance originating at the end of the 19th century in the suburbs of Buenos Aires and Montevideo. It typically has a rhythmic time signature, and two or three parts repeating in patterns such as ABAB or ABCAC. Its lyrics are marked by nostalgia, sadness, and laments for lost love. The typical orchestra has several melodic instruments and is given a distinctive air by the small button accordion called the bandoneon. It has continued to grow in popularity and spread internationally, adding modern elements without replacing the older ones

Argentine tango is danced in an embrace that can vary from very open, in which leader and follower connect at arms length, to very closed, in which the connection is chest-to-chest, or anywhere in between.

Tango dance is essentially walking with a partner and the music. Dancing appropriately to the emotion and speed of a tango is extremely important to dancing tango. A good dancer is one who transmits a feeling of the music to the partner, leading them effectively throughout the dance. Also, dancers generally keep their feet close to the floor as they walk, the ankles and knees brushing as one leg passes the other.

Argentine tango dancing relies heavily on improvisation; although certain patterns of movement have been codified by instructors over the years as a device to instruct dancers, there is a "basic step" called "basico". One of the few constants across all Argentine tango dance styles is that the follower will usually be led to alternate feet. Another is that the follower rarely has his or her weight on both feet at the same time. In many modern variations of Argentine Tango, particularly in Europe, teachers of Tango may establish a "basic step" in order to help students to learn and pick up the "feel" of the dance

Some of my favourite Argentine Tangos include

Katya Jones and Nadiya bychkova branded some of the female contestants as "rude" "bitchy" and "desperate" and "worse than the loose women" as some of them were seen gossiping about Amy Jade being all over AJ pritchard hoping he will be her partner

LeatherTrumpet was almost thrown off the show as he walked into the female pro dressing room claiming he was trying to find the men's toilets

More updates and exclusives will be with you as we hear more of the gossip from backstage. For now, keeeep Dancing!

The Paso Doble

Pasodoble (Spanish: double step) is a Spanish military march, and also a modern dance that emulates the movements of a bullfight.

Essentially, the Pasadoble dance involves role-playing. This two-person dance form has the man performing as the bullfighter and the woman as the cape. It is known as one of the fastest Latin ballroom dances because dancers make around 120 to 130 beats/steps per minute. In some versions, the man portrays the matador in the dance, and the woman portrays the bull. Flamenco-likequalities infuse the dance as the man and woman challenge each other.

Pasodoble is a lively style of dance to the duple meter march-like music. Its original form as a Spanish military march is still interpreted in the context of the Moors and Christians festivals, in southeastern Spain, and is the major focus of current Pasodoble productions.

[Strictly Jake]

The Quickstep

The quickstep is a light-hearted dance of the standard ballroom dances. The movement of the dance is fast and powerfully flowing and sprinkled with syncopations. The upbeat melodies that quickstep is danced to make it suitable for both formal and informal events. Quickstep was developed in the 1920s in New York City and was first danced by Caribbean and African dancers. Its origins are in combination of slow foxtrot combined with the Charleston, a dance which was one of the precursors to what today is called swing dancing.

This dance gradually evolved into a very dynamic one with a lot of movement on the dance floor, with many advanced patterns including hops, runs, quick steps with a lot of momentum, and rotation. The tempo of quickstep dance is rather brisk, as it was developed to ragtime era jazz music, which is fast-paced when compared to other dance music.

By the end of the 20th century the complexity of quickstep as done by advanced dancers had increased, with the extensive use of syncopated steps with eighth note durations. While in older times quickstep patterns were counted with "quick" (one beat) and "slow" (two beats) steps, many advanced patterns today are cued with split beats, such as "quick-and-quick-and-quick, quick, slow", with there being further steps on the 'and's.

The Vienesse Waltz

The Viennese waltz is the original form of the waltz. It was the first ballroom dance performed in the closed holdor "waltz" position. The dance that is popularly known as the waltz is actually the English or slow waltz, danced at approximately 90 beats per minute with 3 beats to the bar (the international standard of 30 measures per minute), while the Viennese waltz is danced at about 180 beats (58-60 measures) per minute

The Viennese waltz is a rotary dance where the dancers are constantly turning either toward the leader's right (natural) or toward the leader's left (reverse), interspersed with non-rotating change steps to switch between the direction of rotation.

As the waltz evolved, some of the versions that were done at about the original fast tempo came to be called specifically "Viennese waltz" to distinguish them from the slower waltzes. In the modern ballroom dance, two versions of Viennese waltz are recognized: International Style and American Style.

Today the Viennese waltz is a ballroom and partner dance that is part of the International Standard division of contemporary ballroom dance.

Tbf it doesn't matter if the numbers aren't reached - it can easily run with one less imo

[RileyH]

Every time you post it gives me anxiety

Makes me want to post more tbh

[Strictly Jake]

danny it's literally the same thing as TiBB On Ice! just do ha :oh:

Yeah to be fair Danny you don't have to really know about strictly all that much to play just give me any song if you want and the judges will decide if it fits the dance or not. I have given a lot of details of each dance on this thread along with videos of examples but yeah if you didn't want to play that's ok I'll see who else wants to do it

[Strictly Jake]

Tbf it doesn't matter if the numbers aren't reached - it can easily run with one less imo

Hijaxers

Left to give songs

[thisisdanny]

I've decided I'm going to give it a good go :clap1:

Watch I end up in the dance off Week 1 (I assume it's called a dance off lol idk)

[Morgan.]

If you need help there's loads of clips of strictly dances on YouTube that'll give you inspiration for songs

[Strictly Jake]

I've decided I'm going to give it a good go :clap1:

Watch I end up in the dance off Week 1 (I assume it's called a dance off lol idk)

Yeah it's a dance off. I think secretly your like a strictly expert on Mastermind or something your just trying to fool us

[Strictly Jake]

If you need help there's loads of clips of strictly dances on YouTube that'll give you inspiration for songs

Yeah or on this thread that I did the whole of last week

[Strictly Jake]

Just Livia and hijaxers to give songs now! :wavey:

[Strictly Jake]

By the way Riley Winkleman feel free to share with us any backstage gossip!

[Morgan.]

Yeah or on this thread that I did the whole of last week

Yeah I know, you only included a few dances though it's impossible to collate them all, I just thought a quick YouTube search would get a lot more inspiration as well.

[thisisdanny]

Yeah it's a dance off. I think secretly your like a strictly expert on Mastermind or something your just trying to fool us

Lmfao I just think they all look the same I can't tell the difference between a good or bad dance :dance:

[Morgan.]

Danny I swear if you pick like Bang Bang by Jessie, Nicky and Ari for a Viennese Waltz I'll scream

[thisisdanny]

Danny I swear if you pick like Bang Bang by Jessie, Nicky and Ari for a Viennese Waltz I'll scream

Why? Is that good or bad :conf:

[Strictly Jake]

Danny I swear if you pick like Bang Bang by Jessie, Nicky and Ari for a Viennese Waltz I'll scream

I'm actually pleasantly surprised at his first weeks song choice it's good

[thisisdanny]

Isn't viennese a type of ice cream? :oh:

[thisisdanny]

We love an underdog :fan:

[Strictly Jake]

Isn't viennese a type of ice cream? :oh:

:joker: it's going to be a lot of fun having you around

[Denver]

Isn't viennese a type of ice cream? :oh:

That's Viennetta

[Barry.]

Are judges basing off songs they like or the music that goes with the type of dance?

[Denver]

Are judges basing off songs they like or the music that goes with the type of dance?

I'll be very professional

[Strictly Jake]

Are judges basing off songs they like or the music that goes with the type of dance?

I'm hoping they Base it off if it matches their dance

[Denver]

And harsh

[LukeB]

Are judges basing off songs they like or the music that goes with the type of dance?

music that goes with the type of dance like if someone put halo by Beyonce to a Jive they will get a 1 from me and i love that song:laugh:

[RileyH]

Not being funny but my song is a BOP and fits my dance so if am not top of the leaderboard imma fume

[Morgan.]

I mean yeah I'll be judging based on both most likely. If it doesn't fit you won't get above a 5, the higher marks will be unlocked on taste though. Like if you did a Streetdance to Gangtsas Paradide it's a great fit but I don't like the song much so I'd score above 5 but below probably 8

[Nicky91]

i look at what suits the dance of course :laugh:

[Cherie]

Looking forward to seeing the choices, I don't really watch strictly so hope mine will be okay

Is the judging anonymous Jake?

[Nicky91]

mine is fab anyway :dance2: it does suit my dance, and if i get criticism from judges it doesn't then we will have a bit of chat afterwards :hehe:

[Livia]

Gleb, eh? Well, that's certainly not the worst that could have happened. Thank you Jake x

[Nicky91]

exclusive from training room Nicky & Amy

gonna be a quite difficult, dangerous routine for Nickamy (official team name) packed full of the right amount of dance content and tricky lifts

:smug:

[Strictly Jake]

Gleb, eh? Well, that's certainly not the worst that could have happened. Thank you Jake x

Glad your happy. Please send me in a pm your song for your chosen dance. I sent you a pm of what your dance is. Just you and hijaxers to pass over your songs and then we can proceed

As to the question from Cherie of is judges scores anonymous. I will send all the judges the songs for the dances and they will score it without knowing who is who and then I will compile it all together for the first show this weekend :hee:

[Cherie]

[Strictly Jake]

I have every song now apart from Livia's

[Strictly Jake]

Livia if you could give me a song choice today that would be great if not I will choose one for you as the judges will be receiving all the songs tonight

[Morgan.]

Have you messaged Livia?

[Strictly Jake]

Have you messaged Livia?

Yes twice she has posted on here too. It’s ok I have a good song for her I’ll send that

[Black Dagger]

Not being funny but my song is a BOP and fits my dance so if am not top of the leaderboard imma fume

You're getting frig all you flat footed mess

[RileyH]

You're getting frig all you flat footed mess

Excuse ME?

[hijaxers]

Livia off 'dancing with the stars':laugh:

[Morgan.]

So there were some good choices and some questionable ones - Mr Horwood had plenty to say - but on the whole a great effort for Show 1 tbf!

And good job so far Jake, this is gonna turn out great!

[Denver]

Why wasnt I message them

[Denver]

I want them now

[Denver]

Like I'm head judge and was left out hmmm

[Mitchell]

Quite a few predictable ones, but a nice few scattered amongst them

[Mitchell]

Also if your songs been used on strictly, dwts etc I won’t award as many points

[Denver]

Someone explain why me the head judge was missed out

[Denver]

I'm tamping

[Mitchell]

Someone explain why me the head judge was missed out

He doesn’t like you hun

[Denver]

He doesn’t like you hun

Well he shouldn't have made me the highest paid judge ever

[Morgan.]

Adam I sent you the songs, just so it can get scored a bit quicker : )

[Denver]

Adam I sent you the songs, just so it can get scored a bit quicker : )

Thank you darling x

[Denver]

Well that was something, 85% played safe and of those who didn't? Well maybe you should have

[Denver]

Also if your songs been used on strictly, dwts etc I won’t award as many points

I am also taking this stance even if you used a different dancing style.

[Denver]

Based on week 1 there is around 4 potential winners I believe

[Morgan.]

Based on week 1 there is around 4 potential winners I believe

I had 2, 9, 11 and 12 down as Winners

[Denver]

I had 2, 9, 11 and 12 down as Winners

Mine were 2,3,4,12

[montblanc]

Also if your songs been used on strictly, dwts etc I won’t award as many points

bitch what if we've barely watched strictly :oh:

[Denver]

bitch what if we've barely watched strictly :oh:

Then you should buy a TV and watch it

[Mitchell]

bitch what if we've barely watched strictly :oh:

Then search it on YouTube and try to be original

[Mitchell]

I had 2, 9, 11 and 12 down as Winners

Mine were 2,3,4,12

Mine were 2 & 9

[Mitchell]

Although 12 was super low down for me as they used a song that’s been used so many times on these shows

[montblanc]

Then search it on YouTube and try to be original

:rolleyes:

[montblanc]

bye am scared now ugh i really hope my song wasn't used :skull:

[Denver]

Although 12 was super low down for me as they used a song that’s been used so many times on these shows

Which is why it wasnt marked as high as it could have but I see potential

[Strictly Jake]

Hey Adam I'm sorry I thought I had sent you them it wasn't intentional. Thanks judges for your scores just Luke to score now

[thisisdanny]

Also if your songs been used on strictly, dwts etc I won’t award as many points

:oh: so i'm going to have to search every series to see if mine has been used

[Nicky91]

Well that was something, 85% played safe and of those who didn't? Well maybe you should have

playing it safe, me NEVER

:nono:

[Cherie]

scared, Jake did you send them to the judges in the order they were sent to you, because I can guess where mine was :omgno:

[Nicky91]

scared, Jake did you send them to the judges in the order they were sent to you, because I can guess where mine was :omgno:

oh i'm not scared, i will just be fuming if they don't understand my song suiting to my dance of this week :oh:

[Cherie]

oh i'm not scared, i will just be fuming if they don't understand my song suiting to my dance of this week :oh:

yes Nicky that is the attitude, I will also be fuming!

[hijaxers]

Well i didn't even check to see if my song had been used on Strictly , i will if there's a next time.:laugh:

[Morgan.]

I don't care if your songs been used before and I cba checking them all so you're good with me lmao

[Mitchell]

You don’t have to search every series of strictly, but anyone can search an earlier series of strictly and pull out a song from there and use it, I know you lot are a lot more talented :)
