[Benjamin]

Ijk4j-r7qPA

[Benjamin]

Looking forward to see what we all went with.

[Strictly Jake]

So everyone my tip is to play the world dance, but mute it with the mute icon in the corner, at the same time press play on the song choice do not press mute and then watch the world dance with the audio from the chosen song

[Benjamin]

So everyone my tip is to play the world dance, but mute it with the mute icon in the corner, at the same time press play on the song choice do not press mute and then watch the world dance with the audio from the chosen song

I never knew you could do it that way. I’d totally find the song on Spotify and then watch the vid on mute on YT. Your way is much easier. :laugh:

[Strictly Jake]

So first up is Britney Spears and Nikita with their world dance

[Portugal] Vira

1- The Vira is normally performed on the street

2- Influenced by ancient rituals

3- Dancers often wear colourful outfits that reflect Portuguese culture

[Strictly Jake]

Next up is Tom Holland and Michelle

[Italy] Tarantella

Originally began as a supposed healing method for victims of tarantula bites, hence the name

Later was tried as a cure for what were seen as ‘neurotic women’

It’s still widely considered a popular wedding dance at weddings to celebrate Italian culture and tradition

[Strictly Jake]

Next is Shania Twain and Johannes

[Bahamas] Quadrille

1. European Roots, Caribbean Flavor
The Bahamian Quadrille originated from European court dances (especially the French quadrille) but evolved uniquely in the Bahamas. It was traditionally performed at social gatherings like weddings and festivals, blending African rhythms and Caribbean flair with European structure.

2. Rake-and-Scrape Music
The dance is usually accompanied by rake-and-scrape music, a distinctly Bahamian sound made with instruments like the accordion, saw (scraped with a metal object), and goatskin drum. This lively music gives the Quadrille its upbeat, syncopated energy.

3. Colourful Traditional Dress
Performers often wear traditional Bahamian attire: brightly coloured dresses with petticoats for women and smart waistcoats or vests for men. The visual style reflects the joyful and festive nature of the dance, often performed in squares with precise, coordinated movements.

Just wanted to say briefly I'm flipping loving the effort this week from everyone. So happy watching all these. Imagine how much Johannes would have ate the above performance up haha!

[Strictly Jake]

Next up is Keira Knightley and Gorka

[Albania] Shotes

The Vallja e Shotes, or Shota, is an Albanian dance that originates in Northern Albania and Kosovo and is an important symbol of Albanian sentiment and patriotism.

The dance involves synchronised steps and a strong rhythm. It is commonly played at weddings, folk and cultural festivals

Although a traditional Albanian dance, it is widely performed in the southern Danube area and since the 1990s has also become popular in Romania.

[French polynesia] Tamure

-French Polynesia has a variety of traditional dance forms, including the Tamure and Hivinau as prime examples.

- The Marquesas Islands are where the Hivinau had it's start. It is frequently done as a solo dance, and is known for it's quick movements and upbeat choreography.

- The art of dance is ingrained in Polynesian culture, and is crucial to conserving and spreading the islands cultural heritage.

- The 'Upa' Upa (another traditional dance form in French Polynesia) is a more relaxed and more fluid form of dance. Done in pairs and it is renowned for it's beautiful and fluid motions (until I attempt it that is lol.) And the 'Upa' Upa has it's roots on Taumotu Islands.

- The Society Islands are where the colourful and energizing Tamure dance form is from. It is distinguished by it's brisk choreography and frequently features acrobatic gestures and leaps.

Well done Annie, you've reached the Quarter-finals, which is obviously a strong finish.

And you personally have one of my favourite Music Videos of the series with Shania Twain's song.

My dance is ****ing delightful. :joker:

[Livia]

My dance is ****ing awful. :joker:

I don't believe you!

Animals though... I've cancelled my subscription to the RSPCA as a direct consequence of Jake's choice of round. I hope you're happy, Jake!

[Benjamin]

Oh animals I was fine with. :laugh:

[Benjamin]

After the final I’m throwing Jake in the sullied hot tub.

[Strictly Jake]

Right can people stop saying whether they have a bad dance or not as it may give clues as to who you are. We are so close to the final please keep it a secret just a bit longer!

Fwiw I peaked so I could volunteer to bitch on someone's behalf and think it is a balance difficulty-wise. I know many people have something against Salsa. But I like Salsa...

This is the first round I’m genuinely not happy with my choices but I’m stumped. They were much harder than they sounded these themes.

[Strictly Jake]

I had all the songs by 10pm last night but had a crazy busy day today. So I'll try and do the show in the morning.

I cut my caffeine back substantially. God speed, Ben. It's way too hot and humid here for 26mi but I did get to do both our lawns before the next rain.
