Strictly Come Dancing
Christmas Special
Turkey, tinsel and all the trimmings and with six more
celebrities battling it out on the dance floor but who will be crowned
Christmas Champion 2012?
JB Gill & Ola
Jive
C 9 D 10 L 10 B
10 T 39
A great lively fast and furious Jive, JB was even pointing
his feet on the kicks, a very good opening to this Christmas special that
definitely set the bar high.
Bobby Ball & Katya
American Smooth (Foxtrot)
C 6 D 7 L 8 B
8 T 29
Quite a smooth and fluid little Foxtrot with very good
rhythm and timing and a comical feel with Bobby pulling his braces ‘Rock on
Tommy’
Sheila Hancock & Ian
Foxtrot
C 8 D 8 L 10 B
10 T 36
Graceful Granny Sheila, a beautiful interpretation of ‘Have
yourself a merry little Christmas’ great top line performed with emotion and believable
feeling.
Fabrice Muamba & Aliona Salsa
C8 D 9 L 9 B
9 T 35
What a great hip action and style Fabrice has, if I had any
criticism it would be to lift his eye line to give a more confident feel to the
performance, but a great routine.
Katy Brand & Anton
Viennese Waltz
C 7 D 8 L 9 B
9 T 33
A lively, lilting Viennese Waltz full of character and grace
with a soft and floating feel throughout very well performed.
Helen Skelton & Artem
Jive
C 8 D 9 L 10 B
10 T 37
Another clean and crisp Jive, Helen has really good leg and
arm lines and the routine was full of character and charisma a very well
performed piece.
The winner of the Strictly Christmas Special was JB Gill
& Ola, but overall I thought the show was a little flat especially compared
with the fantastic 10th series we had just been graced with, however
I loved the return of previous Champions and performers who created a cheeky
Christmas seg-way.
That is it from me for 2012 enjoy the rest of your Christmas
and have a wonderful new year see you all in October 2013 for series 11, which
is said to have an all new look and lots of surprises!
Keep Happy Keep Healthy & Keeeeeep Dancing.
