Good morning all.

Sun still out. None of the forecast rain so far.
Gonna try to buy new electric fan. Bet they've only got the ones with the hole. And I ain't talking about Polo's
😂😂

Bubble will try to PM you later. Need to get things together

Woohoo! Got my Edinburgh Keep Dancing tickets today!! 🙌🏻😁

So have you got all three now Jnb? ?

Yes Hannah

Mint new?
Eschew!
No hole
Ultimate goal!

Beautiful indeed. Rachel has the 'talent for editing' gene.

The fan videos have been wonderful - sometimes picking out a particular aspect of the Jaliona partnership. In this case, I think it is the chemistry - which they took to another level, beyond what we have seen on Strictly before.

Aliona was always exceptional at creating chemistry, and with Jay it was just natural because they got on so well and believed in the same things. There was consternation about them getting along so well, but they handled everything brilliantly.

It also showcases subtle. https://45.media.tumblr.com/9cff6fcd...img5o1_540.gif

I've said it before, and I'll say it again - this has got to be my favourite eye roll/air quote combination!!

Nice one, Korky!

Love Aliona's eye rolls too Strictly Red
Thanks for the link fatskia


Thank you for posting the link to Rachel's Poison and Wine compilation jnb - it's really lovely - and I love the music too.

Hadn't really heard of the Civil Wars before this thread - learnt about all sorts of new music here , as well as how good TW were singing acoustically.


I love the Black Velvet compilation too from Liz as it includes many of my favourite steps, and I love the music too.

I wonder if the Big producers might borrow some of Aliona's choreography skills if they're going to add more dances, especially as Aliona knows J's dance skills so well?



Been thinking about Anita doing This Morning one day a week over the summer - I wonder if J will appear on that when his good friend Anita is presenting?
(Wonder if Anita had a contract with the BBC that's finished - though her programme on refugees that she did earlier this year is on soon? or is she freelance?)


And another thought - seem to remember reading on here that A has said that KD will include 4 dances that J and A know well. We know they're doing the Paso, and it's almost certain they'll do the Jive as it's on the Strictly Launch show.

So, even though we've already voted for our 'wish list' - I wonder what the other 2 dances will actually be?

The Rumba as they did it on the Tour? The Charleston would be great but needs props - and it's probably not worth KD worrying about those for just 3 weeks. The Tango is very impressive. J has said he loves doing the QS and might like the opportunity to dance it again - but it would surely need to be a new one? Unless they do a variation on the QSathon music - but would the stage be big enough? The VW as a contrast?



Have a great holiday to those going away
Hope the poorly ones feel better
Thank you to all for the links, poems, chat and all round niceness

Hello, everyone!
I want to believe Jay saw my tweet yesterday and that's why he appeared on snapchat again haha.
According to Carrie, Max will be back with her in 10 days, but not sure if he'll fly to LA or she'll go to the UK... Anyway, it's after Jay's birthday, so I really hope Jay and him will celebrate bird's birthday together

Arctic rrs?

I did read your post that you were trying to PM bubblewrap later, but didn't twig the significance. Been doing my catch up reading too quickly

Just a quick post to remind anyone who hasn't VOTE VOTE VOTED in Monkseal's World Cup Final yet - voting closes on 24th July so there are only a few days left.......

By the mystery that is Royal Mail!
Who knows...I only have the matinee ones and not the evening ones though...

Really cookin' today, Korky! Love it.

Can anyone find the link for the winning dances we voted for, for Keep Dancing? Now might be the time to tweet them (Aliona Online is asking) as Aliona herself appears to be online...she's just tweeted a pic of her paddle boarding.

I thought top 4 were Paso, Tango, Charleston and.....Waltz ? But not 100% sure

Whiffle's post is here
http://forums.digitalspy.co.uk/showp...postcount=2834

Charleston, Waltz, Tango and Argentine Tango were the top four.

Have nearly cleared my assignment list and should be able to post again tonight.

DD has just beaten me to it with the post number, but I think the reason Paso wasn't top 4 is because the dance has already been announced anyway, so we didn't vote for it.
