And the disco salsa...and the prom themed American Smooth...and the Liver Bird jive where she just sat on a fecking wall for half of it...
Lest we forget that Helen's party latin this year has allowed her to fulfil every woman's dream roles - slutty nurse, slutty mechanic, and slutty mummy.

I guess my memory is pretty good for what handsome hot man wear.
![]() ![]() ![]() Indeed. This series I've seen him as hot doctor, hot mummy and hot mechanic. All I need to do is work out how to persuade the Strictly producers to introduce a theme week entitled " topless Aljaz and topless special guest star Artem wrestling in chocolate sauce to music" and I'll be a very happy little ovary voter. Aside from the outfits and the tight trousers, Aljaz does come across as a really nice guy, and he does seem to genuinely want to give his celebs the best possible experience. His choreography always seems to be geared to making his partner look as good as possible - it's never all about him. |

I don't know who it was, but that is totally true.
Only a few of the pros over the years have started with teaching the basic steps and then moving on to incorporating them into a routine. However, it did happen more in the earlier series' when they actually danced a proper attempt at a recognisable 10 dance.Quote:
I am unappreciating being called out on a mission of mercy to take my niece to A&E (nothing serious - sprained ankle) and falling through my mother's bloody fence which was blown down in the mad weather of the weekend. I have banged my cheek and scraped my knee and look far more of a casualty case than said niece.

I would unappreciate pulling a muscle in my back that was torn earlier this year, but instead I need to unappreciate standing up in the wrong place in the attic and giving that tender spot a huge thump, as if it wasn't bad enough already. Hmmmph.

Do you mind a quick drive-by unappreciation?
I would like to unappreciate the rumba. I would like to unappreciate every single thing about the rumba as a dance. I have just been watching various competition dancers dancing it presumably properly and I feel a bit ill. It might be the only dance that I like less when it's done properly. Hate the over the top hip movement, hate the way the man has to hold himself like a magician's charming assistant, hate the silly arms, hate the opening the curtains move again and again, hate the almost lifts with one foot on the floor - what's the point? - and the move where the man drags the woman's straight body backwards for no reason, and the woman sliding down the man like a helter-skelter, and the undulating and the whole smug fake exaggeration of it. Ughhhh. Thank you for that. Apologies to anyone who actually knows about dancing. Wanders off muttering 'But he could have had the Charleston this week...' I cannot stand it and even the version done by the Pros has me cringing and generally wanting to chuck stuff at the telly. It's over exaggerated when it should be a beautiful dance of love and poetry in motion.Having said all of the above, if given a contemporary twist (while maintaining enough basic to keep Len happy) the rumba can get more of a feel of an unconventional pas de deux and blow me away. But I've never seen that done on SCD. Quote:

I'm not keen on the much celebrated Colin Jackson one .. it's too 'Ian Waite' for me I trust in OurLeona though .. of course I do!

Cha cha, salsa and samba do genuinely run into each other, as seen by Kellie's generic Latin with lifts. Foxtrot and waltz frequently are indistinguishable. Very odd. |

Kara and Artem got it right though didn't they? I can't actually remember noticing Artem which means he can't have been doing too much of that exaggerated hip swiveling/undulating. Seemed to choreograph to all the right accents in the music etc. I remember it wasn't in the least cringe anyway.

My favourite is probably Natalie Gumede's. It's one of the few of her routines (add in Artem's more contemporary styling) where I think she did show an emotional connection to the dance itself not just a clinical demonstration of the steps and her technical ability to perform them. And it had lots of balletic styling with the arabesques and arm choreography which appealed to me. Quote:
I think in a weird way that many of the characteristics of certain dances have been exaggerated on SCD over the years. Paso and tango have to be snarling, face-pulling aggressive things. AT must be at least half ganchos. Rumba is writhing and looking constipated. Jive - kick and flick and kick and flick.
It's weird, because a lot of the others have become quite watered down. Cha cha, salsa and samba do genuinely run into each other, as seen by Kellie's generic Latin with lifts. Foxtrot and waltz frequently are indistinguishable. Very odd. But that's when danced by someone like Fred and Ginger! |

I am unappreciating that I've been going around today looking as though I've been pulled through a hedge backwards, because my hairdryer started emitting an alarming smell of burning when my hair was only half-dry. Now I'm scared to turn it on again, but it's a Parlux that cost a bomb so I don't want to junk it. I'm due a haircut on Friday, dare I take it along and ask my hairdresser's advice or would that be weird?

Is there a fluff filter that might need a good clean out? |

Cell Block Tango for AT? WHAT? The last thing I danced on stage was Cell Block Tango and I was a murderess (Pop)!
I lurve Mark Kermode (he's brilliant) and I utterly despise and loathe that cretin Danny Dire Dyer. ugh! What training? Where? Tell me! NOW! Ian Waite's look at Anita & Gleb's AT, it's hilarious, terrible and weirdly fascinating all at same time. Don't think you'll be impressed. 😂😂😂 |

I was horrible at the AT when I tried to learn it, and I love Anita, but that training looked...
...somewhat less than amazing... |

Drums fingers waiting for Sofakat to catch up.
If that AT still looks like that on Saturday, this could be the epic mess of awful that PP let us down so badly with. Sofakat is going to burst a blood vessel and that's just from 15 seconds of training video. ![]()
