Are we just left with the rhumba as the only dance not to score 40 in 'proper' competition not eggnog fuelled Christmas Specials?

Ed going home is worse than Brexit. Further proof that 2016 is just an awful year.

That is so very, very true. To me, it's the very essence of dance at its heart.
It's what I saw in Alesha's cha cha, the Kartem rumba, the Mumba , Austinwuzrobbed's jive, Jay's Charleston, to name but a few, and now Danny's samba. I'm sure everyone else has their favourites too and their list might be completely different. I haven't danced in a long time, but they are the ones that remind me what a great experience it all is.I have been thinking about AT too. Maybe I'm completely wrong, but in Strictly, we often hear about the AT being 'sharp' or 'spiky'. And that it should be smouldering and sexy. However, what I see mostly in the clips of professional AT dancers is that a lot of the AT overall is actually very smooth (and that's certainly what I've seen in 'free' (improv) AT). Yes, those kicks etc. should be clear, quick and defined, but the essence of the dance overall is soft (those distinctive walks, for example), or perhaps that's not quite the right adjective. And most of all, it needs a strong relationship between the partners - not necessarily sexy, but intense. Or perhaps there are just different types of AT - some gentler, some harsher, some a mix. Is that right? Or am I completely veering off track and talking complete and utter nonsense? Would be very interesting to hear how AT specialists would actually describe the nature of the dance. There is no sharp or spiky. That's come from sodding SCD. There is no kick or flick movement. When you do a gancho your feet actually slides through the floor and the 'kick' it simply the point at which it leaves the floor for and rises naturally, but it is a soft movement.They are the consequence of a rotational movement and momentum comes from the hip. They can be either keg, forwards or backwards. There is no much utter rot talked about AT on SCD it' not surprising everyone gets confused and some go off into the hinterland with their suppositions. AT is a continuous movement dance which alters according to the music. because we create each movement and series of steps and adornos (foot decoration) to follow the music. As a result there are no sequences - just a choice of what move to use and what to link it to. Look at the accents used by these two - they dance to every beat - and are world famous for their musicality (and her for her sensuality) Watch how she 'accents' the music with her footwork. Yes, it can be fast, but is it sharp - no. It's precise. Hope that makes sense? |

Bloody hell, I'm tearing up. I genuinely think he gave everything his all and didn't want to go home.

Aw Katya
![]() I know he wasn't everyone's cup of tea but I'll miss Ed on the show, one of the few Komedy Kontestants that I've enjoyed & a lot of that is down to Katya too. Ringer for her next year! |

Poor Katya and Oksana both so upset for their celebs
Sad to see you go Ed in many ways but it was your time. |

Ed wasn't the best dancer
, but he brought an immense amount of fun to the programme this year. Plus the joy he found dance was infectious.

I know I probably shouldn't really say this but I'd have let Judge go home over Ed. Ed has clearly had a journey and can give more but I feel like Judge has stagnated. Judge isn't going to win, so why keep him around for another week? If they'd kept Ed, he'd have had at least one fantastic dance left in him.

I thought Ed danced better than Rinder both times, and Ed improved. Rinder looked as id he'd had his strings cut.
And poor Oksana, why had WarDrobe made her look as if she was dancing in big knickers with a negligee flung over the top? |

Kevin had a wut? Face as well.
Flitting behind his eyes was 4 finals potentially and all I have to show for it are a trio of shared second places and a twitch. Quote:
Tess: What can Ed do to improve on Saturday's performance
Judges: B*tch please, he's f*cked What can Ed do to improve in the dance off? Magically lose age and weight and gain the ability to dance. I've enjoyed Ed well enough but he isn't a good dancer.

I agree, after Judge goes next week it is all going to be a bit dull isn't it? Unless, Louise suddenly shows her true colours and becomes a manic dancing machine desperate to win, or just goes home quietly for a nice digestive biscuit and cocoa

But what if the Judge doesn't go home next week? What if he gets the bounce and it's a Ore and Cloudier dance off??

I'd be happy to lose Ore. I didn't like children's TV presenters even when I was a child (though John Craven used to pay us the compliment of adult gravitas). Playaway

Has anyone seen the show live? I'm curious because Louise may be coming across better in the studio than she does down the camera - some folk are like that.
I'm trying to be fair here. In a former life I taught drama and there are people who are amazing performers live, but really don't transmit through a lens. Danny, Ore and in the right dance, Cloudier, all have it, but Louise seems not to. Rindy has had whatever that magic thingy is, but lost it a bit this week - maybe because he was doing a very technical dance. |
