Hi All! New on here 
Given Gavin's success with the ballroom in Week 1, does anyone agree that coming off of the fast rhythms of the salsa and down onto the rhumba could actually pay dividends?
The rhumba has a lot of deliberate and precise footwork involved and this proved to be his forte in Week 1 to the surprise of the judges. Yes it's latin, but the hip movements are so much slower and more drawn out than the salsa and he may just get the hang of this much easier coming into it after an intense week on the salsa.
Just observations, but I'm thinking maybe his rhumba may not be as disaaaaaaaasterous dahling as we might have otherwise thought.
Got an inkling that he may well score around the 7s again..
Thoughts?

Slow is good I think but I am not sure he will do the llluuurrrvvveeee
basically I will be holding my breath on Saturday
Not sure what Im looking forward to least.... his rumba or Pauls? or neither...!
Send the man back to ballroom for God's sake :eek:
EDIT: Just had a mental image of Paul Daniels' rumba. Ta Sara (vomit smilie)
Well, coming off the salsa and down a gear to the slower and more delibearte rhumba - if there is not a sizeable improvement then our Gav could be severely Latin lacking 4 sure.
Needs a decent step in the right direction in his showing or the Latin could be his downfall.
However, I do feel he is both quick and very precise of foot so that should bode well for the marking out of the rhumba - but those hips have gotta start swaying
It's the intimacy of the Rhumba that Gavin probably isn't ready for yet.
i think Katya is trying to get the rumba out of the way somehow!
Sensible girl- just like Ola- safety in numbers!:D
he may surprise us- who knows ??!
Because he can't dance.
He's done one good ballroom dance, so he CAN dance!
But can he do a decent rumba? It will be easier for him than the salsa, but he needs a LOT of help! :eek:
What was up with his waltz DJ?
Gavin's got good footwork and is quite 'moody' looking at times both which will help in the rhumba - somehow though those hips have gotta start a swayin'
that made me chuckle, thank you
I never look forward to the rumba, even the most confident of male celebs look uncomfortable. I think I might be watching behind a cushion this week.
