Just posting a YT of the paso. It has been dubbed very cleverly to more traditional music by someone called Laura.
She has even taken out the pink of the costumes and changed it to a more traditional red. It gives the dance a whole new feel. As AJ said at one point he preferred more trad music for a paso https://youtu.be/r-PSJp-6kgw |

They still did remarkably well of course but I think some of their routines could have been much more acclaimed if they'd had a fair whack at the music and styling. I hope the Strictly PTB watch that video and take note for future reference! |

It's nice to still see some people around on this thread chatting about Claudia and AJ. Would love to know which of their dances would be your top 5. Also, which dances do you think they'd have done in the final if they'd made it? Will go away and have a think myself and post my thoughts later 😁

I saw this a few days ago, it's brilliant isn't it, really shows how good a paso it was. I absolutely love the original track but not for a paso. Whenever I rewatched this dance I would turn the sound off - it's amazing how much the inappropriate music distracted you from the dance content and quality! It's become one of my favourites.

Quickstep Charleston Salsa Argentine Tango Paso Final dances Judges choice --Samba ( they didn't pick a particularly good one for Louise either) Showdance--would have been excellent. I believe it could have been salsa based. Couples fave--Charleston. These are my thoughts now but I may well pop back with a completely different set. 😂 |

I too love the original track Sam, but as you say not for a paso. I think we know why we like the track though 😄. A certain dancer on YT for national dance day.😂💃

Will do mine after work tonight I think!I'd have loved it if the judges gave them their samba to do again. Watching it back I've enjoyed it more and I think she could have significantly improved it. Would have loved to have seen that!

1) Quickstep 2) American Smooth 3) Argentine Tango 4) Charleston 5) Salsa I think I loved pretty much all of them so it's hard to choose!As for the final: Judges' Pick: That's a tough one. Maybe they'd have picked the jive again as it was her worst dance. I agree with Hannah re: the samba though. That would definitely have been a candidate. Show Dance: This would obviously have been full of lifts and tricks. Maybe they could have incorporated something like a bit of Lindy Hop. That would have been fun. Couple's Pick: Charleston. |
