So you are back.
Breezing in again with your every day 30 minute titbits on bbc2 and feature length version on saturdays and sundays. Scattering crystals, dymante and godays (WHAT) all over the place. Consuming my time and sucking my interest without any concern for anything else that might be important in my life.
Its brief though, our affair. You presence in my world is brief. I can live with it.
But..i have to say…
this time…you have kind of really irritated me.
What is it with the celebrities that are not really new to dance? The ones that oh..what is that…trained in classical ballet?
what. is. with. that. *stares*
I dont want to see a lovely ex- injured ballerina doing her perfect ‘armography’ I want to see bumbling beginners who make me feel like maybe i could chuck a few salsa moves.
Is it me though or is there just more of these pre-prepped ballroom and latin dancers appearing as ‘beginner’ celebrities..declaring with wide eyes and feigning innocence with their ‘oh i havent danced since i was about 5!’
My daughters ‘do’ ballet and have done since they were about 4, which is only a couple of years…
now..they can probably pick up some salsa moves quicker than my husband for example who has had no dance training AT ALL.
So..im thinking that if you have studied classical ballet until you are 17 then you are going to be a few notches up the rung of progression to professional ballroom dancer?
hmmmmm.
What i love about SCD is that someone like a rugby player/tv presenter or whatever stumble into the show kicking their dance partner in the shins in the first couple of weeks and then transform into a argentine tango king or queen!
Thats what we want to see. Not stage school pros who just weren’t ‘good’ enough dancers to go pro.
If you could just bear that in mind next time that would be great.
Not going to hurt to have a few more Ben Cohen types in the line up either. 😉
lots love,
a fan.
This answers my last question then. I don’t watch hardly any tv but yes that does sound very annoying.

I love SCD too. It’s great Saturday night family viewing. Who’s the ballet trained celeb then? I’m not up on the gossip! I’m guessing the Corrine girl. Don’t warm to her she’s too smug with her ‘Of course I got a 9 I can do this!’ look

I totally agree with you – same with Dancing on Ice. I was well peeved to see that little red-headed woman that used to be an irritating child performer on that a couple of years ago (can’t even remember her name, but she was bloody annoying).
Yes, that does seem a little bit of a cheaty way of doing it. Mark Benton should be ashamed of his professional training. 😉

I’m with you – we want to see more like Todd Carty – hilarious and much more entertaining!

Yes, I’m with you on this. They keep saying how it’s the best year yet….for what? People that can already dance? I liked it when they were all a bit crap and all did the same dance each week so you could really compare. They all used to build up to the Viennese waltz as the ‘biggie’ and now it’s in week 2!
Boo! Lower the bar!

It isnt fair. How can whatsher face with the big hair be on the same playing field as a hairy biker? I dont agree with it. There should be a handicap system in place. Like ballerinas having to do it on one leg or something.
