I think that both of Ore & Joanne’s songs are the worst this week; All the other couples have at least one good song IMO.

I don’t like Bleeding Love for Claudia & AJ’s Rumba, but think their Quickstep song is ok.

I like Vivir Mi Vida for Danny & Oti’s Salsa, but don’t know what type of AS will fit to Misty Blue – VW based maybe?

I love Louise & Kevin’s tune Brazil; I‘m really looking forward to watching their Samba, & hope Louise can do it justice.

Here are Kevin & Karen dancing to the tune at the 2016 BBC Strictly Prom:

Why can’t we have more Pro dances like this on Strictly?

Misty Blue suggests waltz/VW more than FT.

Loved watching that samba again and it made me watch Katie Derham dancing the VW at the same proms with Aljaz. In the past I think Strictly did have pro dances like the samba. I think the change in choreographer has made a profound difference and not for the better. I find most pro dances very meh and use them as a loo/refreshment break.

It is a VW based AS.

The dances used to be good for seeing what a particular B&L style looked like as a group number. Now they are all variations on a show dance, with little subtlety.

Thanks for that. It makes sense for a VW AS with the song, which I like a lot.

Agree about the pro dances. There's no subtlety at all. It's all brash and crash.
