talk about cheesiness overload for Angela Scanlon this week

i like that song, but not everyone is into that much cheese



good samba song for Eddie


great Paso song for Ellie, was used last year on german lets dance for Rene Casselly's Paso


am looking forward to that Charlestonfied version of Ladies Night :think:

[Nicky91]

bit of Movie Week again with Zara's american smooth

Coyote Ugly characters is what they'll play

[Vanessa]

Foxtrot to Etta James :lovedup:

[Mystic Mock]

That dance is make or break for Ellie.

Can she actually break out of the kiddy routine?

Tbf Bobby also needs to show that he can break out of that as well.

Angela R is definitely going big this week, I'm looking forward to seeing the dance.

shame Layton is so super safe again :rolleyes: nobody ever gets eliminated on a salsa

[Mystic Mock]

shame Layton is so super safe again :rolleyes: nobody ever gets eliminated on a salsa

Tbf to Layton, I think that he has done a mixture of Ballroom and Latin so far.

[Nicky91]

Tbf to Layton, I think that he has done a mixture of Ballroom and Latin so far.

a slow ballroom though?


nope


just a overhyped quickstep if i remember correctly


mostly showy over the top dances he done so far



Amanda though has her first party latin this week, after a streak of slower dances



one who has done a good mix so far is Nigel i think, really looking forward to seeing him back in hold this week, if he has an improvement from his last ballroom (viennese waltz)



Bobby looked kinda crap in training bit we saw, so so much gapping :fan:


Annabel her training bit looked great, and am looking forward to that swinged up version of Ladies Night

[Nicky91]

who'll make it into next weeks Halloween Show


i always love Halloween :flutter: am curious if Gio will be the King of Halloween again, well first has to make it into next week of course, but tbh others have to leave first before Amanda, i quite like her, good dancer and has a lovely personality, am liking her ITT interviews too


Layton idk what i was seeing in his training clip, bit stiff maybe, salsa's need to be looser and idk what to expect from Nikita lifting him, could go greatly well but could go quite wrong too, i find him overrated by judges

and that disco cha cha was no way worth a 10, not enough basic cha cha content for me personally, too much bend knees (this week we want bend knees in salsa, same as in samba, although in salsa it is more fluidity, rhythm you need to work on where in samba it is more controlled techniques of volta's, samba rolls, botafogo's)



Annabel & Jojo, well they take things one week at a time to add one more layer something new to bring to the table, not too much at once

[Mystic Mock]

a slow ballroom though?


nope


just a overhyped quickstep if i remember correctly


mostly showy over the top dances he done so far



Amanda though has her first party latin this week, after a streak of slower dances

Fair point, Layton could maybe do with doing a couple of slower tempo dances.

[Vanessa]

Fair point, Layton could maybe do with doing a couple of slower tempo dances.

He'll be in trouble when he runs out of party latin.

[Mystic Mock]

He'll be in trouble when he runs out of party latin.

I don't think that he'll win anyway.

[Nicky91]

He'll be in trouble when he runs out of party latin.

could be soon

after this week he only has a Jive left? from the upbeat latins


in it for the long run for me personally are

Nigel & Katya
Amanda & Giovanni
Annabel & Johannes
Krishnan & Lauren
Angela S & Carlos
Angela R & Kai (tbh she needs to make it as far as blackpool, the iconic place where she hosted several dance competitions)


i think

Bobby & Dianne (have potential to make it far although his smugness kinda is offputting and i don't feel much connection between the two)

Ellie & Vito (i luv Vito more tbh, he genuinely wants to make Ellie a better dancer but tbf she ain't perfect and there is only so much he can do)

Layton & Nikita (so far only proven himself to be quite theatrical, good at the fast showy routines, still needs to prove himself in a slower ballroom)


it is a very open year anyway
