I love the singers, but they did no justice to that song.

I thought it was loosely based on a very powerful Sia video, Elastic Heart, which (IMO) is a far better example of modern dance:

And this is the original Chandelier - same dancer Sia used in a period where she wouldn't show her own face:

Tristan and Jenniifer's Abba routine with the rowing boat!

Oh, good one! The bacofoil debacle. I have some fond memories/stroke nightmares about Richard Dunwoody, but luckily I can't remember too clearly what he was doing ..

The really, truly horrifying thing?

Kevin's paunch in that golf sweater. Why? Ugh!

No more Strictly for me after nine o'clock at night

I suspect it was that 2nd sherry - affects me that way.

I would rather see Anton doing his 'moves'. That & Ed's gangnam style have been the highlights for me.

I thought the cage and costumes were awful, but the dance itself was perfectly fine - if they'd been wearing proper dresses and ballroom shoes it wouldn't have been far off an American Smooth.

I thought the cage where at one point looked as if Jeanette was having a gynaecologist exam not nice

Made me laugh the' upside down raised fanny position'

Not a great idea, both ugly and rather funny.

I thought it was great, very dramatic. Different than the usual Latin and ballroom. Loved the feathers too.

It was the worst pro dance this series. Didn't they say on ITT it was a new choreographer, if so it should be her first and last attempt.

That move is literally all I can remember of the dance. That, and the men coming on with feathery arms.

Sick of the site of Janette's crotch, some truly ugly positions that should be confined to the bedroom.

The young dancer is Maddie Zeiglar from Dance Moms.


I liked the Strictly routine; as much as I would love to see some quality ballroom or Latin routines, I think by this time, people would be complaining they were getting boring. Overall, I think this year's pro routines have been excellent.

Agreed. And if that was supposed to be Pasha's front and centre dance for the series, then I am deeply aggrieved.

They did.
It was o.k. but not one of the best routines this year. It didn't build as a routine for me, the story was non-existent. The audience didn't stand at the end, I think either.
Janette got out of the cage without help, so why would she not fly away!

i thought it was a bit of a nod to matthew bourne's swan lake, but the only one who carried it off convincingly was pasha.

Fan of the site of Janette's crotch, some truly sensational positions that should be shared in the bedroom

Well I enjoyed it. The dance that is, not Janette's crotch

The horrifying thing for me every week is no Sir Bruce to entertain us.

You look at the report of the DS member who attended she said "they had to do it twice as there was not enough crowd noise the first time "


Says it all really so uninspiring
