I think it's an easy trap to fall into to make assumptions based upon what we are shown alone.

SCD is primarily intended to entertain. There is a budget - which will only support a limited number of special effects. Every pro would like to be able to choreograph a routine with the maximum amount of whistles and bells. In practice, some will be told they'll only be getting the costumes, and others will be told they will have more to play with.

My gut feeling is Kevin must have known that would be the show finale when he choreographed it. For me, floating up to the sky with a serene smile doesn't belong in a Tango. I think both Franky and Pixie lucked out - getting free passes for a dance which was potentially challenging to both girls.

But Franky delivered the choreography she was given to a high standard - and deserved 9s (which she doubtless would have got anyway unless she fell over in the middle of it).

I agree that the production team are too blame, I actually watched it without music (by sheer accident on repeat). I still find it too floaty for my taste (I like a tango to be more powerful). However, as mentioned, I'm not a dance expert. For this reason, I have to judge it on my personal taste. I didn't like it. It has nothing to do with Frankie, as I like most of her other dances, and I really did like her Paso. Each to their own. It's just a dance I don't enjoy, and I don't want to see again.

I agree Moonbean but it was all down to the song choice, and the producers are the ones to blame for this!
Frankie is one of the best in the competition and Tango is my favourite dance, you really don't understand how angry this made me when i read what song she was dancing to,,,again stupid idiot producers!!!

They have had several dances to what I felt was inappropriate music. In addition to the "Defying Gravity" tango, they had the "Happy Days" charleston and the "America" paso. Made great jobs of them all, though.

I'm sure there are lots of examples from other couples, too.

I did enjoy the Charleston and Paso but this Tango just didn't do it for me. Oh the producers have given out so many naff songs now it's getting ridiculous. One of the worst was the scooby doo theme
