Still believe she was robbed of title, and I miss Vincent
My husband LOVES Strictly, and it was him who got me into it when we met. The biggest travesty for him in the entire universe is Rachel Stevens not winning Strictly!

I would bet £1 (I don’t gamble) that Vincent choreographed that one - it’s very good.

Sadly you’re down a quid. It was choreographed by these people:



I have a friend who is quite well-connected in the world of ‘proper’ AT. Apparently, the AT community is generally pretty unimpressed with what passes for AT on Strictly. It’s like a ‘cartoon’ version: overly aggressive, rammed with exaggerated lifts and silly leg business, etc.

But then again, most of the dances on Strictly are now ‘cartoon’ versions of the original form.

Just imagine if J & J manage something like this🤩

This is why I don’t gamble 😆
I watched the Rachel and Vincent one and it’s so similar in many sections.

AT on strictly is nothing like actual social dancing, it’s like a show dance. If you tried that in a salon you’d kick everyone else off the dance floor.

We went to dance lessons for a while and the teachers were also critical of Strictly - they said that it was such a bad representation of dancing and so many people were only taking it up after watching it, only to be disappointed that they don’t come out like the contestants

That’s exactly what my friend said: if you were at a milonga and suddenly threw your partner around your head a la Katya and Adam, you’d concuss half the people in the room!

Will pay millions for both a really romantic waltz and a filthy AT from J&J 😂

I’ve says before that I worry they are both holding back from being in hold for either avoidance of the strictly curse rumours or because they are two men & they worry how it’ll go down. Or potentially a bit of both.

I imagine they’ll do a decent Charleston, John can really move!

The history of Argentine tango is that
men learned to be followers before they learned to be leaders and men danced together to learn before they were good enough to dance with women so I really hope they do an AT that shows this off.

Lovely to see Flavia again, her and Vincent were firm favourites on Strictly, in our house.
:love:

There was an early professional dance with Vincent and Flavia which had some examples of this. It was amazing
