If that's a tango then I'm UK Open Quickstep Champion.
I didn't like it, but even I can see that it was clearly never meant to be a tango - Flavia knows how to choreograph a tango, as we all know. That was tango unleashed, implying that it was never going to be ordinary tango. |

I enjoyed it, and in her defence, it wasn't half as weird as the tango she did last year with Craig Kelly.

I know I am repeating myself, but the dance was called Tango Unleashed and I think Flavia (as a Tango specialist) was dancing the role of the Tango being unleashed, i.e. escaping. It wasn't a Tango.
PS I loved it. I didn't dislike it because I thought they were trying to do a traditional Tango. It's quite obvious that they weren't. I disliked it because I didn't think it was very good! |

Flavia can do no wrong in my eyes, but I have to admit I did find that dance a bit of a puzzle.

PS I loved it. I tried to put this point across to my Mum who didn't agree and thought that Flavia was a giant spider trying to escape from her web...funnily enough my mother didn't like the dance but I did! |

I think she's without doubt the most creative choreographer on the show, and I like that she dares to be different, even if it doesn't always suit everyones tastes. At least she's interesting enough for people to want to talk about.
![]() It's fair to say Aliona is talked about a lot on these boards, with mixed opinions, a new choreographer with a lot of modern ideas. I think it is better to be talked about, than not talked about!! |

This dance was just a showcase for Flavia...every year she has to do something to stand out from the other pros.I must say she usually does some brilliant showdances with Vincent,but this was just crap,and her body suit she wore made it cringeworthy viewing.

I mean - nobody in their right mind with years of dance experience and trophies and such to their name would put that..that...performance out on prime-time TV and call it a tango. Would they? Poor lass needs help. Mind you, knocking around with ol' Vinthenth probably doesn't help you in the sanity stakes seeing as how he is evidently the motht gorgeouth man in the world (trade mark V. Simone). You're bound to lose your grip on reality. But that travesty of a something. Surely I'm not the only viewer to have watched in sheer open-mouthed astonishment. If that's a tango then I'm UK Open Quickstep Champion. No I did not like it at all anymore than that wierd dance with her and Vincent coming down on wires. Just think she goes to far. |

Flavia and Vincent are amazing showdancers, and possibly the best Argentine tango dancers in UK, always imaginative and always clever. However, I think on this occasion Flavia carried the imagination at bit too far. It was still very clever, but enjoyable? It didn't do it for me. Sorry Flav!

Well every year we have a showdance from Vinvent and Flavia.I agree the AT is their dance and think the showdances are amazing.I feel that Flavia always goes too far to get noticed,and sometimes it dosn't work.We have had the kissing you waltz which worked and was amazing....but then we had the awful very ironically named Enless love,and even danced with Anton fgs.We have had her dance with Terry Wogan,and even Gary Rhodes, comming down onto the stage on wires,not to mention being in every pro dance going.I could goon but I wont.
It's your right to dislike a dance of course, but I don't think Endless Love can really be appreciated unless you've seen it live - it's absolutely breathtaking. I'm not saying you have to like every dance she's ever done, of course you don't, but half the examples you've just given have absolutely nothing to do with her really - she gets asked to perform pro numbers as part of her contract, so there is absolutely no reason why she shouldn't. And there's no law that says she only has to dance with Vincent - she's not the only pro to dance with celebs/other people too, remember Lilia and Natalie did Sport Relief? I agree with you about the wire not working, but this series is about trying something different, they (Flavia AND Vincent) wanted to give it a go, so why not? Are they to restrain their creativity just because you think Flavia is attention-seeking?! |

I'm also assuming that unlike the celebs, the pro dancers are still getting paid per series rather than per live show, so the ones who are out earlier need to work harder on the pro material to justify their salaries.
Obviously Flavia isn't out yet, but I imagine the first few weeks of stuff is allocated and prepared before the series starts, so that they've got material ready to go? Plus some people just have that desire and ability to work harder than other people. Flavia and Vincent have always been two of the most visible dancers outside SCD time, with teaching and masterclasses and a whole load of different projects on the go, so they must like being busy

I think most people did. It was only really on here I think that people were criticising it. I was having a look through the Twitter comments for it and they were all very positive, so I don't think DS is ever a good indication of the general publics views...I know anyone I spoke to thought it was great.

However, don't forget that people will have different preferences particularly when it comes to that kind of expressive dancing. We all have different emotions and we all look for different things. I know I'm not enjoying a dance when I'm worrying about the props (the ropes and whether Flavia would be in the right place at the right time) rather than enjoying the actual dancing. |

Lemonlime I really only ever see you on DS when you are complaining and usually particularly about Flavia and Vincent - do you bear a grudge or something? |
