I've just done that and it worked better for me, anyway.
I need a rest before I move on from that. Second viewing it's even more crazy Bruno - 'its the best worst dance I've seen' .

I assumed that they were going to slow down Grapevine for that AT, but they seem to have sped it up

Why do they keep saying Blackpool is magical?
It's a dump full of Hen and Stag party revellers wandering about in drunken hoardes. |

May I unappreciate Kevin's decision to 'give 'em the old glossy Fosse - glossy Fosse 'em (dip and undulate)'

Thank you to whoever suggested watching Danny and Oti's AT with the sound off. I loved it anyway, but it's so much better watched in silence.
I also re-watched Ed and Katya's dance and Craigs 4 is just ludicrous. Ed was much more accomplished with his lifts (bar the first one) that Ore was last week. He's still getting one of my 3 votes as he's still very watchable (Daisy's legs got the other two). |

Hahhhhhaaaa! Nutter!
I think the phone box was 'the grapevine' but it did rather misfire! ![]() ![]() I think the AT is my favourite dance to watch done well. It's so bewitching and intimate but it doesn't give me the cringies like the rhumba. |

I sometimes do that too....Thanks so much for reminding .... already loved Doti's AT ... but just watched it with Louise's music ... and so much more electric ... that music was wasted on Louise's posing last week ...
![]() I much preferred her performance this week...... although not that much because she is tainted with essence of Clifton. Most unfortunate. This week I did appreciate Joanne from Grimsby's nano strop when the first score for Tiny Tears was 'only' an 8. She didn't like that, did she.

Yes, the lead comes from the chest so that connection is crucial. There are different styles of AT though - neuvo (open hold, very contemporary) Salon - distinct A frame, Milongeuro in very close hold. But you do move in and out of that when you dance certain steps.
Vincent and Flavia are great, but they do not dance authentic AT but their own version of it. Do not use them as a benchmark for AT, but as two people doing their own thing with tango. Here is a true AT for you to watch. You will see what I mean. Danny and Oti really were very good ![]() So sorry you are not well. Wish you better soon. Always love hearing your informed comments (although it's a shame we were deprived of a rant this week!) |

Here's one for Conspiracy Theorists: in a dance choreographed by an outside advisor, Ore and Jo only got their lifts added to their salsa at the very end of their week's training. According to Ore on ITT. Lifts took up maybe 30% of the routine...
![]() I like Ore, especially non-Strictly Ore. I'm not sure what it is that is 'off' for me with Strictly Ore - probably something to do with the partnership with Joanne being either too much or too little?

I think "Blackpool" magic is solely reserved for the Tower ballroom, which undeniably is a lovely floor to dance on.

Unappreciating the overmarking of Ore + Joanne's rumba & Louise + TTF's American Smooth - both dances were very dull tonight

I love Churches
I just like the idea of these places being used for worship for centuries - way before organised religion in lots of cases - and think that build up of faith is powerful. Exits, in embarrassment |

Me too. I'm an agnostic but love the 1662 prayer book and singing Tudor church music in England's great cathedrals gives me goosebumps.
I also like reading church based crime novels despite being a non believer. |
