Louis Smith's salsa was a favourite.”
I did!

But only to do, not on SCD. And that's because throughout the years we have possibly seen it only 3 or 4 times. And probably why people think of it as sleazy. Even my favourite ever contestant; Mark Ramprakash's much feted salsa bore little relation to actual salsa and it was danced to a Soca track IIRC.
No technical terms for the "arm stuff". Certainly not "armography".

The "arm stuff" is just a consequence of doing complex turns in a two handed hold. However the figures do have names such as Sombrero, Setenta, etc.
