New Dances
I loved the introduction of the new dances. Brought new zest to the show.
The exception being the Country Two Step. This is either a complete waste of space, or else the pros could not dance it and therefore couldn't teach their celebs, and didn't do the sensible thing and find someone who could teach it. The Lambada and Charleston were huge fun, and I really hope both are introduced to Strictly before long. The Bolero.... My favourite. Bit of trivia: The term RUMBA is really the name of all types of Cuban dancing, including the fast rhythms such as salsa. For some reason it was adopted as the name of the slow dance - correctly named the Bolero. Weird, I know! The American Rhythm version of the 'rumba' is quite a lot faster than the international version (the only one danced in UK and Continent), hence US has room for the Bolero as well! |

I wondered why the Bolero was so like the Rumba - really, really didn't see the point of it so quickly after having a rumba last week. Most of the celebs find the Rumba difficult as it is without having to do two up close and personal difficult dances.
Hated the two step and agree with you. Loved the Charlston and Lambada. |

I think the Charleston is a great dance, really fun and really energetic if done correctly. I'd love it to be introduced to SCD in this series because could you imagine someone like Ricky Groves doing it? That would be really good.

I agree with you there. Especially as (I think?) one couple had the bolero this week, and the rumba the week previous.

Just watched the repeat on Watch and agree totally about the Country Two-Step, it was a complete disaster for all of the couples!
Loved Derek and his partner's lambada, and we got to see some chest action as an added bonus! I would absolutely love to see Derek & Mark on Strictly, although i don't know what the majority of the Strictly viewing audience would think of them, a bit too modern, maybe? But i adore both of these guys!

I loved seeing the Charleston on DWTS - would love to see a couple of different dances in SCD - how about the hustle or mambo added as well?
Or is there any other dances that could be introduced? |

The Two Step should not be in this show. It's absolutely fine for a barn, but not DWTS. Hicksville.
What next? Line dancing? Yuk. |
