Re: Strictly Come Dancing 2013 line-up

The Charleston is the dance I look forward to seeing the most - I love it and she did a really good job of it.

I was thinking the same thing but I think they know they are on there pretty much as cannon fodder. Then again, when you think of Pamela Stephenson's Charleston, it is still one of my favourites of all time - she not only got the dance down to pat (and she's 61) but her personality really shone through and captured the whole thing about the Charleston:

start it from 1.50 seconds (it was the only one I could find with the whole dance) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3XC8RdaZyA

Re: Strictly Come Dancing 2013 line-up

I agree the charleston is a fav for me too .....
I know theres not much difference 61 to 65, but I still think that should be the limit.
They look so dejected, makes me sad - and I dont want to feel that way watching Strictly, unless its a beautiful waltz, which brings tears ....

Re: Strictly Come Dancing 2013 line-up

It does tend to bring the tone down with harsh comments (and Bruno can sometimes be as bad as Craig) but in general, I do agree with you.

Re: Strictly Come Dancing 2013 line-up

One dance I'm not keen on, regardless of who dances it, and that it the Tango - all that stomping around, it's one dance I wish they'd leave out completely.

Re: Strictly Come Dancing 2013 line-up

I like the Tango, when they have the correct music for it !
Annoys me - when they dont ....
The one I dont like, is the Rumba, all that posing, stopping, starting - not what I thought was a 'Rumba' at all .....

Re: Strictly Come Dancing 2013 line-up

Couldn't think what a Rumba was Pats so have just watched one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otwp7ZA0QNw - is that typical of a Rumba?

Re: Strictly Come Dancing 2013 line-up

Trust you Thats the 'best' Rumba on Strictly - more content than usual.
Usually its her walking to him, posing - him walking to her, posing, thats about it - makes me teeth itch .....

Re: Strictly Come Dancing 2013 line-up

That's the best I thought that was full of walking and posturing

I will add the Rumba to my 'not keen on watching' list then

Re: Strictly Come Dancing 2013 line-up

Yes - the best !!
It was 'more' content and hold - they actually danced a bit in hold too ....

Re: Strictly Come Dancing 2013 line-up

I remember once saying, on another forum, that I didn't like the Rumba and I was set upon by all the ballroom dancing teachers telling me I didn't know what I was talking about
