Liam and Niamh both gave you tens for this Kate!!

[Strictly Jake]

Time to get Dance two on the go

[Strictly Jake]

Nicky and Dianne Argentine Tango to Jurassic World(Movies theme)
I am probably the biggest Jurassic Park superfan out there, and the drama in this soundtrack too, is amazing in all 6 films, I have to bring something special, well something more special you definitely cannot get from me this last week in this brilliant show, I have had lots and lots of fun, whoever wins best of luck but enjoy these two magic moments from me anyway

Youtube video

Niamh: It was a good fit, parts were a bit boring but some parts were very dramatic so I'll go with an 8!

Liam: 7

Kate: Liked it but didn't love it. Nice effort anyway 8

Score: 23




Lewis and Amy Contemporary to Father and Son by Ronan Keating(90s theme)
It's an important song to me as it was in the charts when I was born

Youtube video

Niamh: Good choice of song for the dance but the original version is far superior than this cover (although may not have the same personal meaning for you) 7

Liam: 10!

Kate: So beautiful and sad too. Tears in my eyes. 10!

Score: 27




Annie and Gorka Street Dance to White Lines by Grandmaster Flash(80s theme)
I chose this song as it reminds me of my misspent youth!

Youtube video

Niamh: Very enjoyable. 8

Liam: 8

Kate: Best performance so far. Just has to merit a huge 10!

Score: 26




Vanessa and Giovanni Tango to Por Una Cabeza(Movies theme)
I've always loved movies.
For a couple of hours you can be somebody else and forget life worries and stresses.
Al Pacino is my favourite actor and i think this is his best performance.
He plays a blind war vet.
Frank is charming, sweet and utterly captivating

Youtube video

Niamh: Obviously a perfect fit, very predictable though. 7

Liam: 9

Kate: Hadn't heard this before either. Adorable. Fitted the dance like a tailored suit. 10!

Score: 26



Slim and Katya Contemporary to Ain't nothing like the real thing(Motown)

Youtube video

Niamh: This feels like it would have suited a street dance or theatre more 7.

Liam: 8

Kate: Didn't feel this as much as the others but was pleasant and suitable. 8.

Score: 23




Cherie and Johannes Street Dance to What a feeling from Flashdance(80s theme)
It reminds me of my childhood!

Youtube video

Niamh: And this feels more contemporary than street dance 7.

Liam: 8

Kate: Yes yes yes. The beat is perfect. Can't fault this. 10!

Score: 25




Jake and Nancy American Smooth to Still holding my hand from Matilda(Musicals/Movies theme)
I had to dance to this so I can dedicate it to my daughter. We went to see this together recently and we both shed a few tears in this scene. She actually reminds me a lot of Matilda in many ways particularly her love of learning and I heard her singing the songs from the musical the other day and I think she has a future in musical theatre so I'm excited to see what lays in store for her in the future. This is my very last dance and I've loved every second of this

Youtube video

Niamh: Very nice. 9

Liam: 10!

Kate: Closing with a sweet, delightful performance. Excellent. 10 again!

Score: 29

I chose this because it reminds me of my son who sadly is missing from my life right now but he did make a brief reappearance not long ago. I'll be crying bittersweet tears as I dance.

Love this. Absolutely beautiful!
