Lovely photo Ochre. If only they had better body contact!

I love Groove is in the Heart. I hope Latin doesn't prove to be Daisy's Achilles as it was for Laura. She will need our votes.

Edit: I've an amusing image of Mr Ochre busting some move a le Ballsy!?!

Trust you to notice the gapping, I was fixed on their faces

I'm hoping the outside choreographers don't give Daisy clumsy lifts like Laura had for her Salsa. I'll be online and phone voting, want them to make Blackpool!

Ha ha 'Oooh Aaaaah' Mr Ochre's probably more of an Ore dance wise though

You are most lucky to have an Ore-esque husband in terms of dancing

I know! I did notice their radiant smiles too. Daisy has one of the most beautifully beguiling smiles doesn't she? I imagine she's good company so it's unsurprising Aljaz enjoys dancing with her.

This will be their first dance with any lifts. I hope there are not many either as they disrupt the flow. It will be interesting to see how Aljaz copes with any lifts. On a positive note, I'm expecting another fantastic dress for Daisy. A deep pink with gold would be nice. Or may be blue and gold. What think you?

Daisy would suit both colours, especially a yellow-gold and she has the height for a fruit bowl hair piece. I thank you for your contribution on Daisy 's wardrobe. They seem to love her, so I'm sure it will be good.

In honesty, I think that look would be good on her too! That styling wouldn't really suit the song though.

I think a long pair of boots are called for whatever the colours.

I think that is going to be a difficult track to Salsa to - so I wish them a lot of luck.

Oooh blue and gold. I have a feeling they're going to be made up to look like they've walked out of the Deee-Lite video though

Open shirt for Aljaz would be perfect

Groove in the Heart reminds me a lot of Dr Beat, Alijaz's salsa track last year with Helen George (the naughty nurse number). Very similar, up-tempo, bright and breezy number.

They scored 33 for it I think and Daisy has better Latin movement than Helen, so it could go very well for them.

Think people already writing Daisy's salsa off. I think it will be tricky to compete with others this week, but I have faith that Daisy will deliver a great, solid routine as always.

I think people will be surprised actually. Alijaz is going disco salsa based on those clips and it will be a crowd-pleaser. She is musical, has good rhythm and good hip action so it could be really fun. As long as he avoids the trap of ridiculous lifts - he did a few with Helen George that were a bit (too much 'gusset' etc)

Its certainly going to be a good dance - I am confident for her. Its a strong week though.

Of course, what the judges do is

Agreed that Helen's lifts were not great...rather ungainly!

Oh dear ladies! As Ochre knows I was a big fan of Helen after her exit and watch lots of their dances and in particular the salsa, which was fantastic. The lifts were amazing especially the final one. Helen was a beautiful dancer, if a bit stiff in some of her latin routines. If Daisy can achieves 75% of Helen's salsa, she'll be doing marvellously.

Oh, no complaints on the rest of Helen's salsa. Just thought the lifts looked a bit haphazard

There was a sort of cartwheel lift that Helen didn't complete properly but her end lift was tremendous and Aljaz punched the air after the dance because it was flawless. Anyway, I've no arguments with you Nina as a fellow Faisy fan

Oh, honestly wasn't meant to be argumentative in any way! Helen had some lovely lifts in many of her dances.

Helen was always very graceful - I liked her style a lot. Lovely long elegant lines in her ballroom which were fabulous. And her latin dances were cheeky and fun as she put so much personality into them.

I am not a fan of the 'big' salsa lifts in general as they are so, so hard to pull off unless you are teeny-tiny like Janette Manrara - its because the music is so fast.

Sorry .. I haven't posted for a while. I couldn't remember my password Still cheering and voting for Daisy. Lovely VW. Nice comments. No dance off. Phew! Sorry to see Laura go Ochre.

I think Salsa might be Daisy's best bet this week. If she can let her hair down -disco style- she'll be fine. I'm putting in a few extra votes (just this once) because I'd love to see Daisy in Blackpool.

Good Luck Team HappyDayz!

Ahhhh Dr Aljaz Helen's 'Mummy' Samba was my favourite of their Latins but I love that Salsa too and enjoyed your thoughts on it Maggie. Helen was very skilled in the lifts, wondering if they might be more of a problem for Daisy. I think a big issue is the outside choreography for Salsa, Aljaz doesn't get to decide what works on his own.

The gusset waving lift was in Helen's Charleston . . . do you remember Helen and Anita performing together in the Final, Helen & Aljaz doing that lift and Anita & Gleb the 'Rampant Crab'

The DeeLite video, were they in white? I hope Daisy gets a fantastic pair of boots.

Hi jean, glad you're back VW judges comments . . . looking back I forgot to post those, will do so later as they were lovely.

BIB Yes, still feeling sad about it. But we've got to get Daisy to Blackpool now! Excited for their Salsa on Saturday and if they can smash that they'll be due to dance Ballroom in the Tower Ballroom, imagining just how amazing that would be

Oh my word. Their Salsa looks good doesn't it... Much better than I expected mid week. And the outfit looks great too. I would lose the blue tassles and go with the top layer as a skirt. Fingers crossed Aljaz gets flares that match. Roll on Saturday!

And Daisy's enjoying the lifts . . . apparently she says 'Whčeeeeeee' each time

I wasn't sure about her dress jean but I like your suggestion. Daisy looks fabulous in everything.

My new favourite Team HappyDayz ITT moment is their 'I'm a little teapot' duet
