The couple don't have to look as if they are in love. Below are two rumbas with very basic steps performed by top professionals.
Mind you it helps if the man looks like Sergey (in second clip)! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qgwyi...80B04B69D816CF http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dn1f5K3Jy1U The rumba for me does not need to be raunchy but it does need the basic drive into the floor, exaggerated hip sway and at least the tentative promise of some future passion. |

Kara was that years Natalie... Did not deserve to win... Hate this dance
Brendan won more rumba pro competitions than artem too And there any of Brendan's dances and/or partners where you've thought 'Oh, that could have gone a bit better. What a shame. I guess this week Brendan and his partner didn't manage to pull off the best dance of the week. Still, there's always next week.'? |

Second clip first set had nothing in it any spouse could worry about, yet it looked very sensual.
The rumba for me does not need to be raunchy but it does need the basic drive into the floor, exaggerated hip sway and at least the tentative promise of some future passion. this this basic rumba by Brian and Carmen shows what a rumba should be http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ye5Gd2pv6wg |

So true - rumba is not about being raunchy it is about the technique without it it is nothing a really great teacher once said a rumba should look like you are intruding on tender moment between a couple not intruding on a moment in the bedroom
this this basic rumba by Brian and Carmen shows what a rumba should be http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ye5Gd2pv6wg This is where Sophie falls, look at the way Carmen moves, how all her body is fluid and reacts from the feet. It doesn't have to be 'raunchy' but it IS sensual, of its nature, and she didn't get that. |

I wouldn't be so presumptuous as to tell a professional dancer "THIS is how to do a rumba".

I don't think the issue was the choreography, it was just that Sophie didn't totally inhabit it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2bNrgEl_g8 (starts 2.51) it was one of the most lush rhumba's i have ever seen...and the chemistry (despite the fact that they obviously went onto having a relationship) is what is missing between her and brendan for me personally |

Genuine query, musicangel: have you ever rated any dancer in the competition other than those who have been partnered with Brendan? There must have been at least one other dance by someone other than Brendan + partner at some point in the last 10 years which made you think 'ooooh, that was rather good'. Which ones, out of interest?
And there any of Brendan's dances and/or partners where you've thought 'Oh, that could have gone a bit better. What a shame. I guess this week Brendan and his partner didn't manage to pull off the best dance of the week. Still, there's always next week.'? I want to see the justification for Fiona's rumba, scored 13 I believe. ![]()

I don't remember one of James' rumbas so I guess we're trying to prove the same point, right?

Why does there only have to be one way to approach or interpret a dance?

There isn't and there shouldn't be, I agree Sid. Rumba doesn't have to be raunchy at all.

No it doesn't have to be raunchy, I didn't think Cherie's and James's was raunchy but I did think it was good. Brendan's and Sophie's was boring and cold. Sorry.
I didn't find it boring and I seriously dislike the rumba, but I didn't think there was enough of a connection between partners and the fluidity was lacking somewhat. But Sophie creates beautiful lines and extensions and she's graceful which helps. |

But they were bonking each other so were uninhibited. When you are a married man and dancing with someone else's wife grinding your private parts together is unseemly.

Without fail. She's very loyal, and I admire that. But it's a shame that she feels the need to be irrational and slag off other competitors all the time in her efforts to support Brendan. You just know that if Brendan was dancing with Natalie this year, musicangel would be slagging off Sophie. But let's see if you do get a genuine answer to your questions dancingbearbear.
