Artem's Charleston
I absolutely loved that concept, as far as choreography goes this was the dance of the season for me. The first Charleston ever I actually enjoyed watching.
Did you like it or loathe it?

I liked it but I don't think it was suited to Holly.

Absolutely loved the choreography. Was danced in quite a laboured way by Holly but the choreography and characterisation was amazing, but then I loved the Swan AS which was the wow dance of the series for me.
I love nearly all of Artem's choreography and think he's a genius, but recognise he's not for everyone. ![]() He's also quite hot as a nerd. ![]()

I thought the choreography was fabulous. Shame about the mistakes. I do wonder if its Holly's height that give them the problems.

I loved the choreography. I think it's funny how much Artem hates the Charleston, yet I have really liked both Kara's and Holly's.

I thought that was part of the brilliance, that the character suited Holly extremely well. Or did you mean it was too difficult and didn't suit her ability?
![]() It didn't suit her ability IMO. |

I really like Artem as a choreograher but I dont think he choreographs well to the best of his partners ability.That routine would have worked with someone else but I dont think it did Holly any favours.

It was like a Charleston from the 2020s. I loved the routine and I thought Holly did well to get through the whole routine as I think she found it very difficult to learn. She missed a hand flick and needed a bit more energy, but I still really enjoyed it. I like having Artem on the show because he will try something new. Most times I like what he does.

I hated it, but that was probably because I felt Holly didn't do it justice. Had Artem and Katya danced it I may have loved it.

Didn't like Holly's ghastly shorts but loved the routine. Artem is a genius choreographer and has the ability to reallt move this programme forwards and stop it from getting stuck in a dangerous rut.

It's her fitness levels, I think and her sloppy core.

I thought the repetitious nature of the music was awful.
The dance was OK though. |

I really liked the concept, as a matter of fact, that tune is still in my head. But Holly couldn't pull this one off.
Before she started, I made a mental note to keep an eye on her performance, as I assumed she would technically pull it off, but her performances often leave a lot to be desired. In fact, she neither technically managed it, nor was her performance levels any good. She looked laboured and heavy throughout. Her kicks and swings were incredibly low... she barely raised her legs. She was out of time. She had a small smile on her face that kept fading. She also keeps looking down. On the up side, I've been really enjoy Artem's unique choreo. |

I liked the concept but the costume for Holly was awful. She should either have had longer shorts on or a skirt ... but that getup was awful.
On the other hand I thought their AT was lovely and deserved more than it got. |

I loved it, but wished Holly had given it a little more welly.

Wasn't keen and Holly's performance wasn't good - amazed that the judges weren't more critical. The AT on the other hand was very good and I thought the marks were fair, although after the first half joint second with Chelsee didn't reflect the latter's superiority.

Thought their Charleston was underwhelming as the song could have supported a great Charleston. Holly's shorts/outfit made her look even fatter.
Very clever AT choreo as it allowed Holly to have a rest on the spinning stool and helped her avoid doing more difficult footwork. |
