Strictly Christmas Special


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.
