Just been blown away by John and Johanne's Paso to Pirates of the Caribbean. Makes me mad with my mother it's the reason she no longer watched what was her fave programme but in a strange way it was wonderful, can't wait to see what they do next week. Somehow I can't see them winning due to the audience demographic but they have my vote.
I just leave the room during bits that aren't dancing.
I'll have to watch Rosie again, as the slower dances don't get my attention like the Latin or jive. John and Johannes are a match made in heaven, absolutely stunning...and HOT!
Im not sure how John and Johannes are going to handle the rhumba if they get that far. It's a very overtly sexual dance and while their dances so far all had a certain sexul frisson about them I'm not sure how some viewers like dave who zante get used to seeing 2 blokes dancing will cope with it (by turning over I presume). Also yo me the rhumba has a ladies role that is very defined. It might be odd to see a man do those moves and in fact the bbc may even want it toned down I guess. However j is a very good choreographer so will probably manage
As I was falling asleep last night, I was listing the Latin dances required...I'd forgotten about the rhumba! And that's even though one couple had danced it.
I just watched Rosie and Giovanni again. Absolutely ethereal...beautiful.
It's funny but no one thinks it odd at tea dances if two women dance together due to a shortage of male partners, it's just because it is two gay men people have a problem. It was the same with Nicola Adams,and her partner if it hadn't been for Covid forcing them out they would have gone a fair way in the last series. It's something that we will see more and more, it's no big deal but if the dancing is that good!
I must admit, Im not looking forward to John and Johannes doing a ballroom dance that has to be mostly in hold. Just won't look right, somehow - or tha argentine tango which is my favourite, done well.
