The girl with Artem learned dance at a young age.  Darcey was on the AT Show this afternoon and explained that, although some may have experience much earlier, that every dance with a new partner is a steep learning curve.  Particularly as the celebs have to learn so many dances in short periods of time.

If there weren't any savy dancers then they would all be like John Sargent, Anne Widdicombe, Dave Myers etc.; there has to be a bit of a balance.  I had dance training until the age of 18 but my brain wouldn't get the message to my feet these days  and as for those shoes 

[Scampi]

I like to see all abilities at the start and watch how they develop.  Those (like Natalie) who have clearly danced before and for whom the basics are already there should develop a professional level of finesse and precision, and be able to perform far more technically challenging routines as the series progresses.  Sophie started well, but seems to have plataeued (can't spell it, but you know what I mean!!), but Natalie started well and is still improving, and she should be applauded for that.  Similarly, no matter how dire Dave is I'd be applauding him if he was improving ... but he isn't!!

I think that Dave realises he isn't improving  -  like me, his brain won't get to his feet quickly enough

Scampi - very well expressed - I agree.

At last it's getting there  we might soon have a competition

I thought Susannah's Paso Doble was terrific - was not too keen on Natalie's Charleston - she seemed out in timing in some bits but the judges thought it was wonderful!

Blackpool night was really great.  I think we are ending up with a very interesting mix - there are quite a few surprising contenders.
I so want to dance with Anton - he is such fun.
Looking forward to next week already.  DG x

Ian Waite can sit on my settee any time he likes along with Robin, Artem, Pasha ..........  .... those children at Blackpool must have had a whale of a time  but sad that someone/s been into the dressing rooms and taken iPads etc. from the dancers whilst they were performing

I agree Bramble, Natalie was out of time with Artem. Didn't deserve score.

Craig was rather harsh with Sophie's score, but then he was Mr Grumpy pants at weekend.

Pretty disgusting that thieves got in, but would have thought there would have been security. Obviously not.

Police think it is an 'inside job' 

I believe that Fiona had gone as far as she could and Mark does give it his all, flat footed but keen: and those bright colours 

[Dancinggirl]

I performed in theatres all over Britain and I'm afraid thieving from dressing rooms was always rife. If one had to take anything of value into the theatre, you left it with the doorman who had a safe.
Unfortunately, if you have to go into hospital thieving is a real problem there. For many , their mobile phone is the best way they can be in touch with friends and family while in hospital. My sister spent another stint in hospital recently and several people on her ward had things stolen - really awful!  DGx

Just to say I thought Sophie & Brendan's Rumba was superb tonight, sexy without being raunchy. Shame the judges were looking for sex!

[purplenanny]

shame about the judges - I thought it was just beautiful! PN

[Joyce]

It was one of the few dances where I got caught up in the story. Quite beautiful. Yes Brendan gets a tad upset at times, but this week justifiably so!
