[Nicky91]

some nice film theme choices i think


i don't mind two couple's choices in a themed week, both could be very good fun i think




Sara with Shrek combined with samba ouch that is pulling the shortest straw of the week




Tom & Amy's well Tom said that film is one of his childhood fave movies, nice song choice either (that one very well known used at the dance in the movie what Marty McFly plays)

[Kate!]

Tilly and Nikita will storm it yet again

yes, Tilly's personality is great for the role of Tracy i think


and i am beginning to trust Nikita's teaching abilities now, came across again very lovely on last nights ITT

[Nicky91]

Rhys's couples choice a contemporary one i think, that into the spiderverse main theme feels contemporary to me



but Ugo's couples choice i can't really tell which dance style it is, maybe some more traditional hawaiian dance

[Hannah20]

Adam who is my favourite has my favourite dance but its the one that notoriously difficult dance for male celebs.

that song is well suited to rumba which does help

[Vanessa]

Ong Rose theme. This is going to have me in floods of tears
Rhys doing couples choice. Finally a chance to show what he can do. I'm so excited!

[Vanessa]

Adam might be able to pull it off, he had great fluidity on his cha cha.
I'm worried about Sarah, the samba is the hardest dance.

[Mystic Mock]

Greg, Adam, John, Rhys & Judi are the ones that have peaked my curiosity here.

Yeah that's a beautiful piece of music. I adored alijaz and emmas foxtrot to the Downton abbey theme and I love that there will be another foxtrot to an instrumental track and such a good one at that. I adore all of the cast this year but I think rose and gio are my current faves!

[Vanessa]

Sounds like Rhys and Nancy couples choice will be hop hop. He's sooooo going to smash this!

I love Rose and Giovanni. They have such a great partnership. And I'm excited to see Rhys dance something that's going to show how amazing he is.

AJ and Kai: American Smooth to I Have Nothing by Whitney Houston, from The Bodyguard

For me this is a tad predictable of a choice having said that I love AJ

Dan and Nadiya: Foxtrot to Once Upon a Dream by Seth MacFarlane, from Sleeping Beauty

Looking forward to this one!

Greg and Karen: Paso Doble to The James Bond Theme by Monty Norman, from James Bond

My comments about this week

[Vanessa]

Peter and Jeanette did a dance to Pirates of the Caribbean and I remember it was quite fun.

[Vanessa]

I'm glad they chose a different song from Hairspray. This is going to be brilliant!

[Vanessa]

Why are some of them getting such ridiculous themes? As if dancing live isn't hard enough!

[Vanessa]

I love Back to the future. Might give Tom a cheeky vote

[LaLaLand]

They do the same films so many times. Switch it up y’all!

I agree, but if the movie is too obscure it won't get votes.

[LaLaLand]

Wish Greg would have danced to A Bond theme as opposed to THE Bond theme.

Rhys's couples choice choreographer

Tobias Ellehammer

Tobias Ellehammer was born in Copenhagen, Denmark in 1993 to Louise Ellehammer and Johnnie Müller. He is a creative mind and director/producer/writer best known for his work where he uses new aspects of dance, choreography and movement to shape storytelling and direction. He's known among most people for his grand scale conceptual tribute dance videos to the Jackson family, his choreography on the Martin Jensen "Solo Dance" music video and his work with Super Junior on their 2017 comeback single "Black Suit".

Tobias started dancing when he was 11 years old and quickly fell in love with the art-form of movement. After training styles such as Breakdance and Hip Hop he went on to study at a 1 year dance education located in Copenhagen called ''Danseuddanelsen''. The place was supervised by Sara Gaardbo. From this education Tobias learnt a variety of styles such as House, Jazz, Contemporary, Ballet, African, Popping, Hip Hop and many more. After graduating Tobias immediately started working within the theater world and commercial world in Denmark as a dancer. He toured with many artists and went on to dance at the Danish Eurovision Contest, the X-Factor and many other TV shows in Denmark. At this point Tobias already started assisting as a choreographer for many of the jobs he worked on as a dancer. After booking his first international job in London, Tobias decided to bring his career to the UK and quickly managed to work for artists such as Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, Tom Jones, Jason Derulo, Kylie Minogue and many more.

With the intention of sharing a message he believed in, he started of back in 2015 with the Janet Jackson ''Burn It Up'' video bringing some of the top choreographers in London together to make a video about versatility. Janet ended up expressing her love for the video by sharing it on her twitter account. Only a year later Tobias produced and created the sequel now honoring the king of pop on his birthday. This video was created to the song ''Black Or White'' by Michael Jackson with the message ''Humanity Should Be Our Race. Love Should Be Our Religion'' and for this concept Tobias traveled around the globe to film in 12 countries in under 16 days. All scenes were featured with local dancers joining in for the scenes filmed in their country. Accompanied by film maker and dear friend Mike Dones who also filmed and co-directed the Burn It Up video, they managed to film scenes in Venice, Copenhagen, Paris, London, Sydney, Iceland, Tokyo, New-York, Dubai, Moscow, Berlin and Barcelona. The video went viral across the globe with over 20 mil. views on various social media platforms. The final chapter of the trilogy ''Scream'' was released the 1st of January 2019 and was the most personal project Tobias has ever done. He invested 2 years of his life to make this vision come to life and to finish the Jackson trilogy exactly how he imagined it. All 3 of these videos in the trilogy, was entirely self founded by Tobias with no sponsors or financial support whatsoever.

Tobias now only working as a Choreographer and Creative director has managed to work with major artists such as Liam Payne during his solo debut, Kylie Minogue as a contributing choreographer and Olly Murs as a creative director. He still continues to work in Copenhagen and has choreographed in total 3 tours for the danish band Infernal, 1 tour and music video for the danish artist Christopher and choreographed and creative directed the ''Solo Dance'' music video by Martin Jensen pus various TV shows such as the X-Factor and the Danish Eurovision. Recently moving into the asian market Tobias choreographed the comeback title track ''Black Suit'' by the K-pop group Super Junior. He went on to choreograph ''Danger'' in 2019 by D&E, Euphoria single track by Jungkook from the group BTS and most recently he worked with Kang Daniel also known as Daniel Kang for his solo debut album.

Throughout the years Tobias has become known for his specific style with his choreography/direction and has been considered by many to break boundaries within the entertainment industry. Tobias is related to the world known inventor Jacob Ellehammer who invented the ''Ellehammer Triplane'' in 1908 and used his experience constructing motorcycles to build the world's first air-cooled radial engine, a three-cylinder engine which then later was installed in his triplane.

Tobias has been known over the years for his unique work where the goal is to convey dance and movement with other genres of storytelling and to build bridges between the commercial and artistic expression within the art of direction.
