Hello and welcome to Show 2 of DS: Get Dancing.

Yesterday our thirteen couples took to the floor for the first time, with...varying success. At the end of it, Ethan & Oksana were at the top of the leaderboard with 28, while Aurora & Neil landed at the bottom with 0.

At the end of the show, the bottom three of the Show One vote will be revealed. After that, the vote will open again and two of those couples will go home in tomorrow’s results show.

Before we get to all that, we better do the dancing. And we better introduce our couples and judges

First up, they got a decent response from the judges last show, hoping to do similar with their Charleston to ‘I’ve Got Rhythm’ (George Gershwin) are East (StrictlyEastEnd) & Oti...

: This was a really good attempt at the Charleston. It could have done with a few more high impact moments in the dance but this was a fun routine never the less.

That gives them 23

Our second couple tonight is Aurora (Aurora13) & Neil. As you’ll know, Aurora has not sent anything so she will once again receive a score of 0.

: It wasn't anything exciting for me, it was a nice enough choice, but nothing that stood out, hopefully its not too late for you to make a comeback...

That's about the closest they come to agreeing...that gives them a disappointing 19

Izzie
: The Fifth Harmony hype seems to have surpassed me, but it did give me the benefit of coming to this song fresh. There were some sections of this song that did have an inherent rhythm that made for a Samba, albeit it a quite funky one. It was just a little bit a difficult to visualise some of the ‘standard’ components of a Samba routine with this piece of music which can’t be a good thing. That said, it was (ironically) a brave choice and I think you pretty well with it.

That also gives them 25

: Full of camp,full of energy love the Disco edge to the routine. Brilliant start to the campaign.

That gives them a very strong 27

That brings us past the halfway point. I'll get the bunting out . Let’s have a look at the Leaderboard so far...

1. Queenie (dancing.queen) & Aljaž – 27
=2. Ash (ADMR) & Joanne – 25
=2. Riley (RileyHollyoaks) & Anya – 25
=4. East (StrictlyEastEnd) & Oti – 23
=4. John (JohnStannard) & Katya – 23
6. Nick (Winter99) & Iveta – 19
7. Aurora (aurora01) & Neil – 0


So with seven couples left, it’s Queenie & Aljaž who are at the top of the leaderboard with 27. As always, that could change.

Our eighth couple tonight are dancing a Viennese Waltz to ‘I Get To Love You’ (Ruelle), it’s Jamie (DingDong08) & Natalie...

Izzie
: Aah, this takes me back to Blackpool during series 13 of Strictly. Not that that’s a bad thing because I loved the Downton/Lindy Hop mash up of that routine. Even though this may appear to be quite an old-fashioned piece, it was the modern elements of this piece of music that brought it to life. That said, I’m not sure that it consistently comes together as a Charleston. Definitely a modern swing-Charleston-Lindy song, with some very strong Charleston sections, but not always quite there with the pure Charleston.

Our second 10 of the series puts them at the top of the leaderboard with 29

Taking to the floor next with a Quickstep to ‘You’re The Top’ (Stacey Kent), please welcome Callum (DrWhoFanCal) & Chloe...

: What a cool interpretation of the Quickstep, so sophisticated, so suave. It transported me to a cool jazz lounge.

A huge improvement on Show One gives them 25

Our eleventh couple tonight are dancing a Salsa to Rosalita (Barbados), it’s Show One’s leaderboard toppers Ethan (EthanE) & Oksana...

: it was nice enough, it had everything that a perfect salsa should have, but for some reason it didn't excite me as much as some of the other routines today.

Not as good as Show One but they still get a decent 24

Our twelfth couple tonight are dancing a Cha-Cha-Cha to Dimelo (Marc Antony), please welcome Rosco (Rosco2010) & Flavia

That gives them a great 28

Izzie
: Of all the dances over the course of the first two rounds, this is one that really did draw me in. While the Viennese Waltz is usually perceived as quite romantic, this had a haunting quality to it that I really enjoyed. Not just that though, there were occasional shifts in the music that only served to strengthen this as a Viennese Waltz and an overall performance.

That puts them at the top of the leaderboard with a huge 32

Not long to go until the voting opens, but let’s have a look at how the couples rank first...
