Halloween pro dance :best pro dance of the series
I think that it was easily the best pro dance of the series. I'm a bit surprised to see that no one started a thread about it. I loved the choreography and the music
Special mention to Oti who was brilliant in this dance, she's such a dynamic/charismatic dancer. They should put her in the front of pro dances a bit more. I loved Pasha and Ola as well. |

Good music, Good story, more time spent actually dancing, less time spent running up and down the floor playing with props. Easily the best of the series. I've watched it a couple of times now.

There seemed to be a debate about that in the main show's thread

It was the best of the series so far, but the bar has been set so low you could run the Shetland Grand National over it.

I thought it was brilliant, knew it was Ola although did say at the end I do like to see a bit more of who is who but really enjoyed it! |

I'm afraid I didn't enjoy it. I didn't like it at all.
Also I thought it was Joanne too!

Hadn't realised it was so marmite! I thought it was nice to see Ola and Pasha getting the chance to shine, and loved the chessboard floor projection effect.
Love Oti too, wish we could see more of her dancing too. |

I liked the group dance better than the majority of the dances on Saturday!

i couldn't work out what it was supposed to be, it had no real style and seemed all a bit cobbled together as if choreographed by committee, |

Does anyone knows what was that piece of music ? I loved it. I've heard it before but I don't know who is the compositor.

It wasn't ballroom, but at least it was recognisably dance, which was a first for a pro dance this series.

I'd have said it seems most similar to Argentine Tango but then I don't have great ballroom knowledge.

Music - a heavily arranged version of Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nnuq9PXbywA its a classical organ piece that I have been playing for the past 30 years or so. Don't know who did the arrangement, though. They have taken the opening flourish and the main theme of the fugue at 2'30", and messed around with them. Its a very popular piece for "remixing" as it is called, I believe. |

It was an improvement over the Saturday group dance at least. The new choreographers seem to be very much of the opinion that "more is more" and throw so much content in to the group dances that nothing registers and they all become a bit of a blur. Oh, and it took me a few moments to work out if that was Ola or Jo too.

The pro dance was brilliant! I don't remember seeing anything like that on Strictly ever before (although I haven't been paying much attention to the show in previous years).
Today on It Takes Two Zoe Ball announced the choreographer - apparently an Australian pro. I want to see more of this please! |

Most of the pro dances in recent years have been a combination of camera face-time, scarf/prop wafting whilst grabbing face time, and twiddly steps from left to right across camera view whilst grabbing face time.
There's very little actual dancing as a group going on. That bit of it I see seems to be going on in the background, but it's obscured by the face-time-grabbing in the foreground. So yeah, the chess dance did seem an improvement, but I fast-forwarded most of it anyway just in case it reverted to face-time-grabbing again. I'm such a bore - sorry. |
