Strictly 2017 - Nearly Show-Time!

[CaveMum]

The couples have been announced and rehearsals have started. So strap on your dancing shoes, it's time for Strictly 2017 💃🏻🕺🏼

Alex really brought it, good on her

I thought Alexandra was very impressive, really enjoyable. One thing, though. They mentioned Aston’s sickled feet but presumably didn’t want to add anything negative to her critique. Her partner needs to get her a theraband and show her some exercises!

Just catching up.

What did they do to AJ?! He almost looked like a grown up!

I think they're going too far with the scoring. It's Week 2 FFS! There's going to be tens next week and they'll leave themselves with nowhere to go.

not necessarily, Alex's paso = Soph's charleston, Jay's jive, Jake's salsa.

I commented the same thing on the new thread

So, watching with a few children. They wanted me to vote for Susan, Gemma and Davood. However, I didn't think my first Susan vote took so she ended up getting 2 votes.

Our favourites were Alexandra, Debbie and Aston but the guys above need our votes.

Bye bye Charlotte I think. Against Simon in the dance off.

Loved Johnny and Oti's dance. Hasn't she got the most amazing legs?!!

On wiki it says Alexandra had dancing classes from a young age. Her dance was too good too early. It was like watching 2 pros.

Susan, she's nice, and one of the few celebrities I recognise, and is actually learning to dance, not just showing off her prior training.

I just love it all.

I find the Rev creepy, but don't like camp, too slapstick and artificial

Chizzy is a like a pantomime dame. Just why the hell would you let people egg you on to that? Disgraceful.

"You'll Never Walk Alone" sounded much better than I thought it would as a 3/4. Some songs just don't work when you fiddle with the time signatures.

Joe's music wasn't good. Tango is meant to be cat-like and and stalky, and it just didn't sound or look like one.

Too much theming and messing about, but I'll think that every week We did get a few actual training VTs, so that's good.

Bother, I meant to post in the new thread!

YNWA IS a waltz though? I've been in Carousel and I am fairly certain the original is 3/ 4 time. And slower.

I did link it!

Why not just wait until the old one is full? What's the rush? Is it an attentions seeking thing to do a new thread first?

Because if you wait til it is full, you can't link to it.
Because it's better to start it before it runs out so that it doesn't run out mid rant/gush/apathetic meh
Because if it is done earlier you are less likely to end up with multiple new threads.

Why on earth would it be attention seeking??

Starting a new thread when there are over 10 posts left is silly and likely to confuse people. You don't need a link from the old thread if you wait til it's full people will look for it and won't be able to post on the old one so no posting on wrong thread stuff
