Oh, but then it kicks in...

That's actually a cracking effort imo.

8 or 9s from me.

Next is Annie and Giovanni with a Waltz to the EastEnders theme tune

Youtube video

Amy Jade: Enjoyed this, you've picked well but I'd have given a 10 for a slow Waltz to Julia's theme

Denver: I absolutely loved this but you lost 2 points for not using Julia's theme

Mitchell: lolz, I actually really enjoyed listening to the theme tune imagining Letitia Dean and Steve McFadden trying to slow dance to it, if you’d used Peggys Theme you’d have been getting a 10 in week one here, but this wasn’t a waltz

Ammi: you glided across the floor in a way that Queen Vicky could only have dreamt of doing - simple, elegant and beautiful and filling the dance floor with East End charm

Liam: it’s a shame this dance wasn’t as iconic as this theme tune

3 good efforts so far..I'm keeking it now.

I think I miss read the task.

[Kate!]

Well done all so far. Great efforts.

[parmnion]

I'm not seeing many favourite characters...

[Denver]

Me and Amy saying the exact same thing is iconic

[parmnion]

Judges are doing a great job with the comments..

This is gonna be the best year ever.

[Amy Jade]

Julia's theme would have been ICONIC

[Strictly Jake]

Next is Parmnion and Amy with a Cha Cha based on the character Chachi Arcola from Happy Days who sings this song

Youtube video

Amy Jade: This felt very retro and I liked that, could imagine a cute Cha Cha to this, kind of petered out towards the end but fab debut!

Denver: Having never seen the show and just listening to the song i not really sure who the character really is so i have to mark on dance alone

Mitchell: I liked this a lot, I like how you based it off a character from a show, and made it work for a Cha Cha, well done.

Ammi: A fun, flamboyant and flirty Cha Cha - lively and cheeky - playful and filled with energy - a Cha Cha that couldn’t help but bring Happy Days and happy smiles to our faces.

Liam: this was cute, not the best, but a decent start!

Decent..

Love how ammi summed my character up..that's made my night.


Beat slim as well.

[Strictly Jake]

We have our first 10 coming up

[Strictly Jake]

Next is Cherie and Alijaz with a Foxtrot based on the Character Rachel from Friends

Youtube video

Amy Jade: I did the hand clap. Such a fun choice and you pulled it off beautifully I had a blast!

Denver: I loved it but it felt safe and predictable

Mitchell: I’ll be there for your first professional dancing gig!

Ammi: A beautiful smooth and flowing Foxtrot - a perfect choreography of slow and quick steps and turns, gliding and smooth steps of perfect timing. You didn’t dance across the floor, you flowed and filled the floor with your movements

Liam: another example of a song being used just for its icon status, this didn’t fit the dance at all, this would have been a better fit for the quickstep!

Amy Jade:10!
Denver:7
Mitchell:6
Ammi:7
Liam:6

Well done Parm and Cherie

[parmnion]

That's 2 based on a character now....a well deserved ten cherie.

[Amy Jade]

Cherie was inspired by Becky Vardy no doubt so HAD to get a 10

Youtube video

[Strictly Jake]

Next is Lewis and Janette with a Viennese Waltz based on the Royle family to half the world away

Youtube video

Amy Jade: An inspired choice, very impressed and I can bet this will top the leader board as Adam is 100% giving this a 10. Wonderful pick.

Denver: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW, Winner Winner Chicken Dinner it was the best week one performances ever and is up there with the best of the best

Mitchell: this was beautiful, just such a stunning routine and I’d say you’re definitely the front runner

Ammi: Wonderful song choice for this classic Viennese Waltz - I felt anything but down in watching it - it was such an uplifting experience of sweeping and graceful turns and rotations - simply elegant and beautiful

Liam: This was wonderful, I wish it had gone somewhere though, it felt a bit flat the longer it went on

Amy Jade:10!
Denver:10!
Mitchell:9
Ammi:8
Liam:7

[Kate!]

Wow well done Lewis

[Strictly Jake]

Next is Kate and Graziano with a Salsa to the Jailhouse rock based on Corrie's Faye Windass a character currently in jail

Youtube video

Amy Jade: I felt like you really tried and I liked that you'd put thought into your choice but I don't feel like a Salsa fits very well with this song. With such a high standard I think you could be in trouble sadly.

Denver: It is a song that it overused in dances and i hated everything about it

Mitchell: Naughty Faye! But at least they’re letting you salsa dance in the slammer I guess

Ammi: Everything a Salsa should be - dazzling, exciting, flamboyant, sexy - filled with more spins and drops than a fairground ride - you’ve got the beat and you’ve got the rhythm and you’ve definitely got the hip movement - it was hot, hot, hot and every living cell in that Jailhouse body rocked

Liam: I didn’t feel this at all I’m afraid, there was nothing salsa about this
