Disco - 70s not sure about that. Will depends what he actually does. Probably a high energy, Jive based dance I suspect.
I heard Karen Hardy's comment as well about high energy. Probably right but something dramatic can work i.e. a good sultry Argentine Tango with Attitude. More staccato but if played right could work. She did also say to incorporate steps from many of the dances and I think that is right to mix it up a bit and show skill in various areas. Of course you can't include all of them as the dances are so different although a fast start with perhaps a romantic interlude and then a high energy finish can work. Stop siniggering I AM still talking about dancing
Interesting if they do the showdance first.. Actually you're right they did do that last year Nemo and I had forgotten. I think in a way that is good because it does give them all a chance to showcase their dance. In a way though it means that once down to the final two the other standard dances count for more. Which brings the pressure back on the Rumba. Really might not do Chelsee any favours.
Agree that Kara's showdance last year was ruined by too many lifts and not enough dancing. Two or perhaps three good lifts will have more impact in a dance than following an acrobatic routine.
Back to Tom Chambers again. It was absolutely pitched perfectly.
You know what I think at this stage the pressure is as much on the professionals as the celebrities. They havre to be good teachers all the way through and choreography has an impact but to some extent the good celebrities still shine through.
Once you get to the showdance, the choreography is vital and all down to the pro... Pressure.
Taking risks can work but can also destroy all chances. Good as Darren Gough was, Colin Jackson was the star of that series BUT he, or rather Erin, took a huge risk to do a routine that enabled him to dance effectively by himself and it bombed. He was the better dancer but lost the competition (rightly so on the night)
