Wow, that is pretty exquisite....I've never seen it before so thanks for posting it.
That's beautiful. Lryical dance as opposed to ballroom. Gutsy of them to do that and pull it off the way they did.

Absolutely, but it's dragged out every year as a grim reminder of what can happen if you stray too far from the beaten path...

Well as a Ricky and Natalie fan I could not disagree more. I and many of their fans were speechless at what he did, the skill and balance in those lifts were amazing. Even Craig was quite speechless (and we all know how critical he is)
Of course it is a personal choice as to what we all like but Ricky was an amazing dancer and most of the Pros said so at the time.
One thing I would like to mention is every year at semi final they bring on a showdance couple who do amazing lifts and then we go to the tesspit and all the remaining couples joke about going to the gym and doing the lifts etc therefore it always looks to me as if the way it is presented to the couples as that is what is expected of them. Natalie being a new girl I expect thought the same!!
