Went last night to York. Was a bit disappointed as there was too much singing. Thought it a bit self indulgent for the Strictly Band to do two songs to every one dance - after all its Strictly Come Dancing, not Strictly Come Music! Not entirely happy with having to sit through musical numbers from a band that although very good is after all just a band singing covers.

However, what there was of the dancing was brilliant. Artem and Kara were great together, and Kara more than held her own when she was dancing on the stage with Krystina. The Chemistry is definitely there and they did some great numbers including the Swan Lake number from last year's show (I said at the time that it would have been great to have seen Kara do that with Artem).

Krystina and robin were fantastic. Some serious dancing last night and wonderful choreography. Just wish there had been more of it.
