[Nicky91]

AJ and Kai: Salsa to Rhythm Is Gonna Get You/Get On Your Feet by Gloria Estefan

Dan and Nadiya: Tango to Santa Maria by Gotan Project

John and Johannes: Salsa to We Are Family by Sister Sledge

Rhys and Nancy: Argentine Tango to In The Air Tonight by Phil Collins

Rose and Giovanni: American Smooth to This Will Be (An Everlasting Love) by Natalie Cole

[Vanessa]

American smooth to a fantastic song. Yep, I'm over the moon! :dance:

[Nicky91]

TeamWalkova a fabulous ballroom tango tune :dance: :dance:



Rhys the short straw here, trying to dance a argentine tango to that phil collins track, although if no more tears was possible then anything is possible :joker:

[Strictly Jake]

Was hoping they would be taking on 2 dances each!

[Strictly Jake]

Got a feeling AJs salsa will be fantastic

[Vanessa]

Was hoping they would be taking on 2 dances each!

That's next week.

[joeysteele]

Oh no what a set of dances.

ONLY 5 dances with 2 Salsa's and an American Smooth, all dances I dislike.

I do however like the Natalie Cole song and I love Sister Sledge's.

The series is slipping down for me.
There could surely have been 5 different dances with only 5 pairings left.

AJ and Kai: Salsa to Rhythm Is Gonna Get You/Get On Your Feet by Gloria Estefan

Dan and Nadiya: Tango to Santa Maria by Gotan Project

John and Johannes: Salsa to We Are Family by Sister Sledge

Rhys and Nancy: Argentine Tango to In The Air Tonight by Phil Collins

Rose and Giovanni: American Smooth to This Will Be (An Everlasting Love) by Natalie Cole

Two salsas...why!

[joeysteele]

Two salsas...why!

Exactly Cherie, WHY??
There's only 5 of them left.
Ridiculous.

[Cherie]

Crazy !

[Vanessa]

I'm glad Rose has a different dance. It will stand out for sure and she's excellent at ballroom

[Mystic Mock]

Rhys has me interested with that dance.

Good luck to him trying to beat John & Johannes AT.:)

[Mystic Mock]

Oh god I've just noticed Rose's dance.

It's another Disney routine I see.:rolleyes:

[Vanessa]

Oh god I've just noticed Rose's dance.

It's another Disney routine I see.:rolleyes:

Nothing to do with Disney it's Natalie Cole.

[Mystic Mock]

Nothing to do with Disney it's Natalie Cole.

I'm talking about how the routine will play out like some Disney fairytale.

[joeysteele]

I'm talking about how the routine will play out like some Disney fairytale.

It's not shaping up to be an entertaining quarter final is it Mock.
Do you think?

I'm stunned at the choices of dances myself.

[Vanessa]

I'm talking about how the routine will play out like some Disney fairytale.

I don't think so. It will be beautiful and elegant.
Hopefully with Giovanni in tails

[Vanessa]

It's not shaping up to be an entertaining quarter final is it Mock.
Do you think?

I'm stunned at the choices of dances myself.

I don't think that they're going for Disney.. They're going for elegant and classy.

[joeysteele]

I don't think that they're going for Disney.. They're going for elegant and classy.

Oh, I'm more moaning at the 2 Salsa's and American Smooth Vanessa :joker:

3 out of 5 dances I've never liked, isn't making me feel I'll enjoy much on the show this week.:joker:

I know, I've turned into quite a moaner.

[Mystic Mock]

Do you think?

I'm stunned at the choices of dances myself.

I'm definitely unsure on a few of the dances.

I expect AJ will probably be good tbf, and John is good at Latin usually, but both of them doing the same dance is not very exciting when there's only 5 people left in the competition.

I personally feel like Rose has played it really safe, and Rhys & Dan are definitely taking risks with their dances this week, I'm expecting that one will be good and the other will be awful.

The two Tango's are my favorites out of the dances selected this week, so I'm expecting one of Rhys or Dan to win the night for me.

[Vanessa]

The American smooth is not a safe dance at all. It has lifts and that can easily go wrong.

[Vanessa]

Dan so far has had a very easy run.Same as Rhys.Dan always has the best music and gets overscored every week.
Rhys only had fast dances until recently.
At least Rose is doing both Latin and ballroom.

[Liam-]

They so clearly have it out for AJ, they’re again going to overmark John and undermark AJ to make her look like the weaker dancer because they have the same dance

[Vanessa]

They so clearly have it out for AJ, they’re again going to overmark John and undermark AJ to make her look like the weaker dancer because they have the same dance

I think they'll overscore Dan and underscore AJ.
Wouldn't be surprised to see AJ dancing first.

[Vanessa]

Remember Cynthia gave Dan a 9 and AJ an 8

[Mystic Mock]

The American smooth is not a safe dance at all. It has lifts and that can easily go wrong.

It's very safe for Rose's style of dancing imo.

Tbf John's playing it pretty safe too.

[Mystic Mock]

They so clearly have it out for AJ, they’re again going to overmark John and undermark AJ to make her look like the weaker dancer because they have the same dance

We don't know who will do the better Salsa in fairness.

But I agree with you that it's not a good thing for one of them this week.

[Mystic Mock]

Remember Cynthia gave Dan a 9 and AJ an 8

Cynthia should go into stand-up Comedy.:laugh:

[Vanessa]

I wanted the Charleston. It's my favourite dance

[joeysteele]

The dancers don't pick the dances though Mock.
They're given them aren't they.

So it's whoever dictates what's on the list of dances who are to blame.
However for me at this stage, NO pairings should be doing the same dance.

Neither should anyone NOT be doing a dance they so far haven't.

I just can't believe I'll be watching 2 Salsa's on Saturday.
I find the whole elements of the Salsa awful.
Never liked the dance at all.

I agree. They should be doing 5 different dances.
Instead we have two salsas and two tangos :shocked:

Salsa are entertaining


dull ballrooms aren't entertaining

[Vanessa]

The American smooth when done properly can be fantastic.
It's one of my favourite dances.

[Vanessa]

Dan and Rose both having ballroom is a huge advantage.
Also if Rhys manages to get a perfect score he will avoid the dance off.

[joeysteele]

Sorry but Salsa's bore me to tears almost.
Never ever liked the dance,
Sorry.

if Rhys manages to get a somewhat decent score i'll be amazed :laugh:


even no more tears enough is enough had a better workable beat for argentine tango


in the air tonight suits paso or rumba better, as proven on dwts usa

Oh it's production that picks the dances and the Music I think isn't it? Tbh I wouldn't be surprised if they had a say on the routine either.

And I get you Joey, as someone that dislikes the Rumba, I really didn't like the week where Sara and Ugo both did one.:joker:

Hopefully one of them will do a decent Salsa for you this Saturday.
