VW should the couples be in contact for the entire dance
I thought couples should not break hold for the VW. Looking back at Ricky Whittle, Tom Chambers, Alesha's VW they were in hold for the entire dance.
Should Kara and Artem have been deducted another point for ignoring this rule? |

I can always tell when one of the celebs is rubbish at it - they have a 50 second intro, a 50 second ending and about 20 seconds in the middle, mostly out of hold and doing lots of pivot turns (not a VW step)
![]() There is also sitting on the stairs, or Ann having a siesta or two.

Not a single Viennese Waltz this series has been in hold the entire time. Robin and Patsy's was barely in hold at all - about 10 seconds worth. Why would you single out Kara & Artem's?

Apparently, they are allowed to break hold as they long as they do VW steps. If they weren't, Len would certainly have brought it up and marked accordingly, as he did in Kara's AS.

I agree. I was wondering what are the rules re the VW and staying in hold for the entire dance. I'm sure I remember Len saying there should be contact between the couples for the entire VW.

I don't mind relaxed criteria, but if they produce the show in the same way next year, the "rules" need to be far more transparent so everyone - judges, pros, audience - understands clearly what is allowed and what isnt. |
