You've just reminded me of one of my favourite songs Parmy.

Breathe slow by Alesha Dixon.

Breathe slowwww
Count from one to ten
With your eyes closed....

Great song.

I don't think this is technically accurate

I agree. It's a lot more than that. This is a brilliant game and we all want to do well. I'd be happy for anyone who wins this.

Awww thanks

I can confirm that we now have our second perfect 30 of the series coming up tonight!!

Oh exciting [emoji3]

Aw that's wonderful :love:

1. First up is Vanessa and Giovanni with a Charleston to Bing Crosby Santa Claus is coming to town


Parmnion: I like my Charleston fast and furious. Although, I enjoyed the humorous sides, so will mark it accordingly. I hear rumours hat your 2nd dance is more energetic, let's hope it is

Kate: I'm feeling very christmassy after this. Great choice. Very evocative

Toy Soldier: A fun and lively opening to the show, nicely done

Parmnion:6
Kate:9
Toy Soldier:9

Score: 24

2. Next is Alf and Karen with Theatre Jazz to Ella Fitzgerald Sleigh Ride


Parmnion: I got up and tried some jazz theatre to this, my hands were jazzy, but my legs were more Charleston, if only you were contestant number one I might have scored you higher

Kate: Beautiful. Great choice. Well done. Fitted the dance and theme well

Toy Soldier: Continuing the fun, went very nicely with the dance. All good so far this round.

Parmnion:7
Kate:9
Toy Soldier:9

Score: 25

3. Next is Niamh and Graziano with a Cha Cha to Elvis Santa bring my baby back


Parmnion: Uh huh! The king has spoken.. a classy xmassy cha cha cha, some said that was impossible, you just made the impossible, possible.

Kate: Nice choice. A song I haven't heard before. Very reminiscent

Toy Soldier: Another great choice. I wouldn't call it a Christmas classic but it's definitely on theme, went well with the dance too

Parmnion:10!
Kate:8
Toy Soldier:8

Score: 26

4. Next is Liam and Dianne with Contemporary to Lindsey Stirling Carol of the bells


Parmnion: I was really looking forward to this one when I saw it on the list.

Unfortunatly you took on too much, your legs, where hear there and everywhere, but never where they should have been. I'm sorry, but at this late stage I expected better

Kate: Gorgeous darling. An unusual yet perfect choice of song

Toy Soldier: Love the song, loved the version of the song, loved the dance and the drama. I have nothing bad to say about this whatsoever.

Parmnion:5
Kate:10!
Toy Soldier:10!

Score: 25

5. Next is Kazanne and Johannes with a Rumba to The Carpenters Merry Christmas Darling


Parmnion: You went down the romantic rumba music route. A BRAVE DECISION. I mark you up for that, her voice and the trumpet solo gave me some Latin vibes so that gets another mark...I want better next.

Kate: Ahh the Carpenters. You can't go wrong here. Lovely

Toy Soldier: I'm sorry but it's not my muffit of tea and honestly I can't get it to fit with a Rumba either

Parmnion:7
Kate:8
Toy Soldier:5

Score: 19

Leaderboard so far

Niamh and Graziano 26
Alf and Karen 25
Liam and Dianne 25
Vanessa and Giovanni 24
Kazanne and Johannes 19

Performance two coming up shortly

The theme wasn't Christmas Classics though Toy Santa :nono:

Ah, I was way more confident about my Christmas song

Grest song choice

1. Alf and Karen with American Smooth to The Shirelles Will you still love me tomorrow


Parmnion: This gave me chills, and vibes of Dan gliding gracefully and confidently across my eyes.. Just fantastic

Kate: Fitted the dance and theme like a glove

Toy Soldier: Enjoyed this one a lot too, a good choice

Parmnion:10!
Kate:9
Toy Soldier:9

Score: 28

You did get 2 10s

2. Liam and Dianne with a Tango to Stevie Wonder Pastime Paradise


Parmnion: A unique song, but it got a bit tangled up in the middle, not my favourite

Kate: Another song I didn't know. Very pleasant

Toy Soldier: Motown Tango was always going to be a tough ask, so this must have been a tough week for you. I think it overall lacks some of the drama of a Tango but I don't wan't to mark you down because I genuinely can't think of a way to get Motown and Tango to gel 100%.

Parmnion:9
Kate:7
Toy Soldier:9

Score: 25

I meant I was more confident than my Motown choice :laugh:

3. Kazanne and Johannes with a Foxtrot to The Temptations My girl


Parmnion: Some classic Motown, for a classic foxtrot. My heart has melted, a daring lift as well. You just caught up with the rest

Kate: Out of the ballpark. Performance of the night. I'd give it 11 if I could

Toy Soldier: A classic to close the show, I enjoyed this, and will light a candle for poor Thomas J, RIP

Parmnion:10!
Kate:10!
Toy Soldier:9

Score: 29
