Thanks for the post Liza. It's a showdance that shows you CAN be inventive dancing in hold, (Artem, please take note), if you're good enough at the basic ballroom that is.
Was she talking about celebrities who have never danced?
it wasn't clear who she was saying Joanne was "in a different class" from.
My guess would be same as Spin Turn's in that she was talking about other professionals - but bear in mind Joanne is also dancing in a full-on competition/exhibition context in that clip.
I believe Kevin's parents are.
Bendymixer will know as she knows the family
She'd be marked down by Len for the "faffing about" at the start of that

yes she is!!!! I cant wait, Joanne is an amazing dancer
Yes, we discussed about this quite a bit in the Non Fan War Thread the other day. I think Joanne has rehearsed that routine many moons with Paolo to have produced that quality of dance on the floor. Not to knock her, but the celebs (and the pros) only have one week to do the routine, and Natalie Lowe, if she's found fit to dance on Saturday, only ONE DAY to learn the pro routine before showtime.
Still, that ballroom medley routine was amazing!
More than made up for it in the middle. Also, this is a showdance, they are allowed.:)
Of course no one is expecting a pro/celeb performance on Strictly to be at the same level and I don't think that is being suggested.
I hope that, like series 4 and 5, they invited really good pros to do the demo in the results show. It will wake the pros up a bit I think.
This remains one of my fave showdances from Joanne and Paolo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqFRQXxPTzc
Yes, wonderful! But if you are doing a pro dance, does it mean you are allowed to mime to the song? Because Joanne and Paolo seemed to do quite a bit of miming from these clips?
Not directly dance related, I think they need Chris and Jane's mixer to sort out their tracks. The gap (no music) in the middle is a little disconcerting, and it doesn't seem to cut well from one melody to another... Chris and Jane's music were almost always immaculate and it actually add to the dance when you are performing at this level...
these dances of joanne and paolo are not comp dances they are showdances done either at the end of a comp as an honour dance or as a dem - in a comp they are not on their own on the floor and of course they do not mime

Althoug maybe this weekend will be different?
Aw, thanks for sharing those!!!:)
There were more clips after the telegraph video link ends. Wonderful!!!:)
"They do it because they want to do it."
Hope this link works, they were eighteen (Kevin) and sixteen (Joanne).
Going to share this in another thread.
And Craig would find a little finger incorrectly placed at some point?
I would take my hat off to the Pros that make the final this year if they can actually come up with a Ballroom showdance (as opposed to some freestyle, modern, acrobatic stuff). A medley of Ballroom dances (with maybe the odd Latin infiltration here and there) would be a challenge that some of them must surely have no worry in coming up with.
Tom Chambers, whatever criticisms people had on him, came the closest to a beautiful showdance that include ballroom and some latin (paso) elements and tap as well...
