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 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!
