Strictly Come Dancing - It Takes Two: Brucie's Bonus!

To begin with though, a beginners guide to the Charleston: Wild, entertaining, took over the 20's like wildfire - banned at one point, too scandalous! It's all about having fun, anything goes versatility; lots of swivels and bounce, kicks and flicks and shimmies!

The training: Lainton having a lot of fun, Anton's going for hammy acting! Alian?? 8 hours training, but it all seems to be filmed on Monday - no updates re how things are now?! Chrola's little legs up to 18 hours. Pecking chicken? Fountain? Just two of the moves in it! They're having a ball and they're on the sofa. Ola (Sparkling C'Ola) screamed when they made it through - you're never safe - and makes Chris hold her hands, she's so nervous, Chris (Who loves yeah baby)says she digs her nails in him! They lead a topsy turvy life with the judges - and he admits to a very late change in the VW choreography, along the lines of Ola thinking: Oh My God, where's he going! The Male Guide to Dancing in a Televisual Competition: 1. The little woman is always right; 2. Complimentary uniforms help team bonding; 3. Take out frustration on inanimate objects - including the face; 4. Know Your Limits! They've a fantastic song choice - Fat Sam's Grand Slam from Bugsy Malone!

Len's Masterclass - the start of Zoe and Ian's tango: Start facing, point right foot, heads down, music, heads up, circle your foot alluringly, step across, look, shrug him off, he comes again and She's Not Having It! Claudia's really getting into this dancing lark now, lol.

Beginners Guide to Rock'n'Roll - evolved from jitterbug, explosive, energetic, athletic, upper body sway, up&down and side2side, lifts way up in the air, throws - safely! You know, the way things are going, I wouldn't like to be in celebs Ricky and Nat's shoes ...
Vinalie on 16.5 hours training and Vincent still can't do a roly-poly or a cartwheel! Ricalie on 19 hours and Pro Nat (A vitamin supplement they could all do with) looks like she's scaling a (man)mountain in the form of Ricky - I hope that's early 'air step' footage!

Now for Brucie's Bonus - a competitive group VW, Flavia explains, with help from Anton: It's old school competition, proper dancing - how the Pro's do it, all out at the same time but doing their own thing, not a group dance, everyone in it for themselves, being judged and scored. There are knees and elbows everywhere - they haven't learnt floorcraft - and so much harder for the boy celebs having to lead. Could be great, could be not so!

Vision On - The Pro's turn for self portraits!

  1. Last weeks Rumba and this weeks Tango are easily the best Lens Masterclasses ever! ROFL last night at Claudia shouting at Len - 'No Len! I'm Not Having It!' So funny :o)

  2. Yep, a masterstroke for the masterclass, whoever decided on learning the iconic moments!
