Strictly Come Dancing
WEEK 11
Semi Final week and with two dances each from our five
remaining couples who will be our final Fab Four?
Dani & Vincent
American Smooth (Foxtrot)
C 8 D 8 L 9 B
9 T 34
Good character, good technique, good timing, fantastic
control on the lifts, fantastic footwork, overall a fabulous little Foxtrot.
Argentine Tango
C 9 D 9 L 10
B 10 T 38
It is very difficult to watch the celebrity when Vincent is
performing what he is best known for, but a beautifully performed Argentine
Tango, there were however a couple of little technical things and a little mistake
half way through but neither of these spoilt a second for me, I could have
watched them both dancing the Argentine Hokey Cokey and it would be beautiful.
Louis & Flavia
Jive
C 7 D 8 L 8 B
8 T 31
A cool rhythmical Jive/Rock n Roll, performed with spirit
and flair, a few of Louis’s Kicks were slightly turned in and could have had a slightly
more control, but a good little well told story.
Foxtrot
C 9 D 10 L 9 B
10 T 38
I found their Foxtrot routine a little heavy and lacking in
the fluidity and softness of a Foxtrot almost as if Louis was forcing the steps,
but I loved the performance level.
Denise & James
Tango
C 9 D 10 L 10
B 10 T 39
A great little Paso Doblé entrance to their routine this
week and a very strong Tango action, however Denise’s legs were bent on the
kicks and the shaping was too forced, there was some nice true Tango figures demonstrated,
it was good but I did not find it worthy of a ten, do you agree?
Rumba
C 9 D 9 L 10
B 10 T 38
When Denise is in close hold and posing she moves
beautifully almost to perfection, but when she is solo and moving from step to
step her technique was very poor, stumbly and almost basic, I find her arms and
finishes to her lines amazing and balletic and the story telling or acting
immense, I very rarely comment on the dresses but I would have preferred to see
more of the body shaping in the Rumba and her frock covered this up.
Kimberley & Pasha
American Smooth (Foxtrot)
C 9 D 10 L
9 B 10
T 38
I have to say that this was another inspirational routine
from these two, great timing, choreography and musicality, even though you
could see how nervous they both were and I agree with Len about the amount of
time they were in Ballroom hold, I would have liked more, but still a great
job.
Charleston
C 10 D 10 L 10
B 10 T 40
A fast, strong and entertaining Charleston with effortless looking
control and fun and even a continuous triple cartwheel to make sure we were
left wanting more, what strength and stamina.
Lisa & Robin
Salsa
C 7 D 8 L 8 B
8 T 31
Another lively performance from Lisa, however I did not
think her timing was quite up to scratch and her Mambo Breaks were quite heavy
footed, the bum twizzle also looked very awkward, I commend your energy and
love what you bring to the floor.
American Smooth (Foxtrot)
C 8 D 8 L 8 B
8 T 32
A lovely, lively Chicago performance and Lisa makes everyone
watching her smile from inside out and out of all the celebrities from Strictly
2012 you have come the farthest, made me smile the most and hopefully have inspired
millions to dance, thank you.
SUNDAY RESULT SHOW
A magical winter wonderland opening from our professionals,
obviously done for the BBC’s special effects team to have a rehearsal with the
artificial snow for the Christmas Special and with Kimberley & Pasha, Louis
& Flavia and Dani & Vincent guaranteed a place in next week final and
Lisa & Robin and Denise & James battling it out in the most emotional dreaded
dance off ever, Lisa gave it her all and Denise was more determined than ever the
judges had no easy task , but in the end there was only one place left and they
chose Denise & James to dance again in the Final.
