Amen to all of that! Do you think we'll get away with multi-voting? I agree the best of the looks for both of them - pure Upper Class Buenos Aries

Oh my, Santa Maria - J&A would certainly burn the floor with that! If either of them is reading this, get those fires lit now!

*pokes head in *

I thought about if and what to respond to the comments re last night's topic(s), but whatever I might type will probably only cause more friction.

As Jay related poems and innuendos as well as putting dance-related thoughts into decent English aren't really my forte, in the absence of J & A related news I'll just sign off.

*waves and backs out of the thread slowly*

Jayfan and Ahouch
I remember thinking during that VT that he was very trusting going into a hairdresser who didn't "know" his hair.
Now that is me putting my slant on it. I will not go to a new hairdresser for example.
I didn't know for a couple of weeks that it was the guy who always did his hair and the guy who rescued his butchered Max cut.
I think I must have read that here. I must have done

Aw, J in his BIG jacket - reminds me of 'Pick a key, any key' - lovely to see them together again, having a blast.

Mmmm....Miss BB and what would you be multi voting on now? ???

Are you being naughty in your KD dance picks

Slitheen = big green farty monster that kills people and walks around in their skins
Missy =

Have just skimmed what I've missed, but so agree with this statement re public domain and speculation.


Just in case you have never heard it before.......has anyone ever told you how superb your English is..........? 😁

Understand where your sentiments are coming from and 'in the absence of J & A news' (can't do BIB) hits the nail on the head.
It's ok to go a-wandering, but think most people find speculation and innuendos are better avoided

Remember to slowly back in, again 😊

My OT, sorry everyone is 🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾. Just had to say as think I've gone on enough to OH.

Been at Gleneagles to see Tim Henman in the flesh - at last!!!!
Just beautiful to see a one - handed backhand again.

When Polly returns, she might appreciate it.😂😊😄

Just under 3 weeks till I go to Wimbledon.......💕

Ooh, naughty dances! That's a great idea - now, where shall I start?

Hi all

I haven't done a dance review before but here is a bit of an odd one! I don't always watch Strictly but being a TW fan I decided to watch when I heard Jay was doing it - I thought it could be hilarious!
But when he came out for the launch show I was a bit shocked - what's happened? Where has the sharp, confident, cheeky Jay gone? The Radio Times interview they did was a bit more like it, but I was really upset watching him in the CC VT and the show. I love his hair long but they didn't know how to style it - why pull it back in a schoolgirl style? If he was supposed to be a pop star they could have just held it back with a bandana...and the clothes ....
I'm not an expert but I thought the dance was OK - he was very nervous, which still surprised me and he looked a bit inhibited, but he was obviously getting on well with Aliona.
Then in the Clauditorium he obviously couldn't say anything, he was so nervous. It wasn't until the ITT that we saw flashes of his personality come through - loved the caveman!.
But I think for me the CC week was overshadowed by missing the sharp and funny Jay I was used to seeing on YouTube. I wonder how many other TW fans were surprised?

I forget English isn't your first language spree


Think we're drawing a line under it all and pottering along in our usual easy going way


Should think some J and A news will appear soon.

The new Pros will be announced soon, it's only a couple of months until the new Strictly line up appears. Then there's the Launch where J and A should be on . Keep Dancing starts almost immediately so J and A will be about promoting that - I hope . Then Big starts - so preparations must be underway



Do have a go at choosing 4 or more dances for the Keep Dancing Tour for Whiffle to compile.

In my case I seemed to choose about 10 dances apart from the Paso

To cut it down - a little bit only - in date order

Waltz, changed QS as J loves it so - hope they can fit it into the stage new AS, changed FT, Rumba, Tango, Charleston and some Tap

Oh dear, that's 8 - multi voting


Has someone already posted this that Aliona Tweeted with J and A 1.44 in
https://youtu.be/FtneaXE24DA

Aarrgh.. this is sooo difficult...I love all of Jay and Aliona's 'babies'.
The Paso is a given...do you think the Jive is too?
I'd love either the AT or the Tango, preferably both but that won't happen I guess.
I want the Charleston so that we see a different last lift.
The Waltz / Foxtrot / VW any one because of the romanctic feel...ediging towards Waltz, I think.
The CCC to see what he'd make of it now.
The AS for a chance to see it without the obscuring makeup.

I think the only ones I'm not so keen to see on stage are:

Rumba, saw it live twice...would like to see others get an airing.
Salsa, probably just me but I don't see it transfer to the stage as well.
Jive...as for Rumba

Have I missed any?

ETA Agrion, I was the same as you...where was Jay? Plus, why on earth did they give him that poodle-perm look for the launch...I love his full curl look but that Now the CCC hair I'm puzzled by. There's a behind the scenes clip that shows Jay in full costume ascending the stairs to enter the stage but his hair isn't pinned up. I can only think that was dress rehearsal and for some reason it was decided last minute to pin it back. Well it was still better than poodle-perm for me.

Yup. I remember now, the farty methane blowing ones now. Wasn't one of them Danny Dyer's relative in Eastenders

I thought Gleneagles was golf😕 I iz confused

One handed strokes are elegant tennis in my book

3 weeks to Wimbledon. That is tennis Wimbledon isn't it. I haven't missed a KD have I😂😂😂😉

Oh my gawd. What have I done now. Set BB off in search of dances that aren't on the schedule 😈

. Read twice post once hannah😆😆

I know Hanbah, it's confusing. 😂

I'm sure nobody is particularly bothered, 😊 but Hotel has built an indoor tennis court and there is an 'oldie' fun tournament held there now. Think it's going to be an annual event.
This year it was Henman, Cash, Lindquist and Pioline. Great fun. Patter and proper tennis!!

Hope you've not missed KD or I will have too😱💃

Wimbledon and I, at this rate, are going to be becoming best friends😁

I will, Fred:

I would choose Viennese Waltz, Foxtrot, AT and Waltz - and for their curtain call the Tango!

Oh, but with the Paso, that's 6.

*Hand in the air Jay style* Please hannah, can I have 6?

Plus, because the audience just won't stop clapping and cheering for more, the Charleston for their second curtain call!

Well, if you insist Fred, then it's only polite to choose more than 4, innit

1. Paso, by default
2. Waltz, 'cos it's when I fell in love with J's dancing
3. Tango, to see more masterful "curious poses"
4. Foxtrot, to see it as it should be done, including the back-to-back head tilt, the gorgeous sideways drag, and the "Lay Me Down" head-on-chest move, each of which alone is enough to set Korky off on a romancefest
5. Salsa, for the flirty side of J
6. Charleston, for complex step sequences with swivel and to see how that lift should really be done
7. American smooth, to see expression not hidden under overblown makeup for the sake of a theme
8. Argentine tango, to see intensity and smouldering sexuality

Is that enough?

Right, we're up to 7...I might be able to work with just 7

I've gone for 8 — four for the first half, and then four more after the interval

Not sure if we're including Paso, so will miss it out- if that makes sense.

Taken as read that all dances will be danced perfectly :

AT

Waltz or VW

Salsa or Charleston

Showdance to relive the best too much ever.

Will have to come back again when I've decided between the 2 waltzes and the 2 fun dances😄

2 sets of 4...that makes sense!

Just seen your reply ...even more sense made

I do like looking at the Gotan project ones from time to time.

You're so disciplined and focused. Do we have a deadline?

Four dances - proper choice this time, no morris dancing (shame)

Paso is already a given
Charleston - 'cos it's the Dr innit

And then I'm sorry I know I am going against everyone on here, can I please have 2 completely new dances.

I know lots want to see the SCD dances and yes blah blah they have their merit but I believe we should always move on in life, I would like something we have never seen before - please.
