I think Helen may struggle with the samba due to her hips...........

Does anyone know what the step Kellie and Kevin are practising is called?

Even Jeremy doesn't look too bad there. He might get a whole 4 from Craig.

why are almost all of them still marking it down ?
Helen cant even shimmy properly those shoulders, so stiff.
why isnt georgia on her toes ? she seems to be walking there.
Love the way Tristan is teaching there
Katie looks good.
Kellie reminds me of susanna for whatever reasons
LOL at Kirsty
Peter's ballroom frame is horrendous Love the Halloween decor on their room though


This training video was kind of useless...I mean it look like all these clips are early footage.

I'm assuming it was filmed on Monday or Tuesday.

/QUOTE]

Georgia is dancing Tango and should not be on her toes. She is far too high in her legs at the moment looking at the clip. Needs to lower her centre of gravity and keep in her knees far more. We need a really earthy feel, plenty of staccato rhythm with no rise and fall

Makes sense.

Thanks .

I'm OK with them showing early footage. I don't want to see too much of the dance beforehand.

At least we get to see them when they are still "Whaaaat?" about the new dance.

Based on the outfits and the rooms they are in at least a few of them are definitely from Monday (as Ian Waite mentioned it a few times on ITT yesterday)

Jamelia (does anyone else have their computer auto-correcting her name to Gamely? Drives me nuts) looks good and it looks another fun dance for them. I think top of the leaderboard looks like Kellie or Anita, just on that. Getting a bit nervous for Jay but nobody can deny he looks like he's working his socks off.

That is exactly how I feel about it too

I was thinking that, hopefully Giovanni will sort that out before Saturday.

Difficult to tell how everyone is doing, but I've a feeling Anita may top on Saturday.

It's weird; they are a couples of celebrities who look good in training this year but on the night it's Meh....is that ALL ?
Case in point Kellie : Her jive looked really good in training imo but I was actually underwhelmed last Saturday; it just didnt look as good as it did in training; I dont know what happened.

I didnt even say anything about Jay in my initial post (even though he is my favorite ) because he always look ok or not too good in training for the most part and then comes Saturday, he smashes it so I am not worried about this AS
The only rehearsal that I ever saw him look really good in training was the waltz. Even the jive looked just okay in training.

Very impressed with her from the waist up - as usual - but there's nothing happening underneath. Gleb needs to pay attention to this. Both ballroom and latin

Some people we didn't even see them from the waist down - does that mean the bottom half is too awful to see!

Anton must be feeling the pressure - the tie is gone!

more or less what we have just said Jennifer - think it will be footwork light an out of hold too much but theme, music etc and the way bbc pr are pushing them this week expect her top of the board whether deserved or not

Yes some we didn't, but there were a few seconds of both Anita and Georgia, who need to try and work from their standing leg more. Georgia and probably Anita possibly were just learning the routine, but I could see that Goergias swivels need attention. You could not see the feet but I could see, from her action, that she is not doing them correctly just yet.

Georgia seems from last nights ITT not to be enjoying this week - hope it gets better for her as the week goes on!

I actually wouldn't be surprised if we get a shock result this week, only because Jamelia looks like she's going to have another Charleston-like breakthrough week with her Jive, which should score highly enough to get her through this week. If that's the case, then one of Georgia and Helen could be at risk, as neither of them look particularly great.

Also, did anyone else notice that Brendan seemed to be recycling some of his Charleston choreography with Sophie for Kirsty? Those kicks to the side looked awfully familiar.

Tango for a beginner is difficult and feels far from natural. For a start you have to literally "sit" in your legs, and not rise at all. The feet have to feel as though they are peeled from the floor and placed in position. The hold is more compact, and I think does take some getting used to,It is a dance where the lady reacts to the mans action.

It also sounded like she could have a bad cold.

I assume because they're all a day late starting due to group dance training

Helen and Georgia look to be struggling in that clip - dont know when it was filmed tho

Peter just looks weird

Carol - I have no clue what Carol is doing - I thought it was a rumba, doesnt look very rumba-y to me

Jay - hard to tell with Jay, he always looks confused in the training room but nails it on the night!

Jeremy looks like he may struggle as that salsa looked fast!

Could only see Kirsty from the chest area upwards so no point in commenting but she can count well

Katie looked good at skirt wafting

Kellie - again, not much training to comment on

Anita looked ok too

Helen is an odd one . Her hips are just not doing what they should do there . Georgia should show her how it's done .
Aside from the man with 6 years dance training to his advantage they all look like there are a lot of probs needing sorted . Except for Jeremy (oddly enough) . He looks rather good and the dance combined with whatever grotesque outfit he wears could suit his gangly (skeletal ?) frame nicely . I think this could be his best yet . It's great to see a genuinely new person to dance creep a bit better week after week . That's what it's all about and I can't be bothered with ringers .
Carol has been getting better too , but this week will be a huge challenge and I fear she'll flop badly .
