Anyway I don't want to harp on about it.”

You're right. I initially thought her foot was scraping the floor in that move.

Yeah I agree, Blackpool is about Blackpool.
I thought she was good and has got markedly better. I didn't think her paso was superb but I liked it and I like her.

I loved the routine and I think anita is amazing , but gleb leaves me cold . Much of that routine was about showcasing himself . It was like anita was just there to pop on his bolero and waft dramatically around his majesty .
I actually feel a little pang when she compliments him and he doesn't reciprocate

. His manners are shocking in that respect .

I thought this was more show than substance, and I disgree with Darcy because I think Anita was upstaged by Gleb and the topless male dancers. As a performance it was watchable becase of the atmosphere and mood it created, but little of that was down to Anita not enough paso for me. I think she's def been undermarked in other dances, but not this time, and for what part she did in the routine I think she got a better mark than deserved. I can't remember the lift.

I would agree with all of this, I didn't notice the lift either.

I have to say, I don't think this dance bears up to more re watching - the more I watch it the more I notice the lack of back 'arching', slightly stompy footwork, hunched shoulders and poor arm shaping. Core wasn't strong enough either.

Hands were fab though.

It was a fantastic performance (could have down without the Ewww sex faces &#128547

, but a slightly mediocre dance IMO.
