I wonder if the producers keep giving Anton rubbish dancer's to make him think about leaving?!!
poor judy,she is rubbish, but I read an interview with her about dunblane, and she said after that she can get thru anything,and a few horrible comments about her dancing doesn't bother her.shes having the time of her life!
but what will happen if she gets thru, and 2 of my favourites get in the dance off?like caroline and Frankie?!it could happen!then we all get cross,like last year,and the other years...
'My husband and I'( as Queenie says) think the voting for shows like this and Xfactor should be for us to vote for the one we want to go home and not the one we want to stay. Because that would be fairer.
Better pack my bags, Argentina are in crisis as the large Accordions are not available so people are not learning to play and the TANGO could vanish??? My Hohner needs dusting off and a ticket to Argentina although as ex-army they may not let me in. They do the proper Tango to proper music unlike the mish mash we see on Strictly which is as much a tango as was dried egg to the real thing, it leaves a nasty taste in the mouth.
I had two Tango partners as a lad poking his nose into the big lads dance halls, one was my teacher at the dance class and the other a much older lady from London whose husband was in the forces. She had learned to tango the real Argentine way which is not how we see the Argentine Tango on TV with all the leg kicks and lifts. It was very intense and believe me a young lad dancing with a partner putting all the emotion into the dance made me sweat, it always ended with her leg up my back and a kiss, can you imagine what the lads said when she finally released me back to them usually red as a beetroot. It was all good training for weekend leave in London and a trip to the Nuffield club Sunday Tea Dance where a lot of the girls from the shows turned up and a couple of them were brilliant tango dancers, I had a ball. Point is would they pay me, I can still play all the old Tango tunes??
There are many forms of Argentine tango from the anglicised, formalised ballroom version to the sultry, flowing Argentine groucho version, the backstreet milonga version, the social version danced at soirées and the spectacular mixes of all the styles you get in touring shows with professional Argentine dancers.
Tango is infinitely variable depending on who's dancing it and where - except there are rules about deportment, posture and movements in the ballroom version, especially applicable in competitions.

True Obelixx as I found out dancing on the Continent, the Dutch Tango was a far different beast to the Austrian or Italian Tango being far more staid. In Hamburg it was more the Goucho style, Vienna the continental style we called it more as we see on TV or in films, the thing was the girls could all Tango there would always be a shortage of men, as I said before we had a ball.
Whoa up Mike, if you think it a show then expect people of all sexes to dress in show costumes what ever their age, today shopping in tospots I saw at least three men my age dressed in those half leg shorts and funny tops, I would not be seen in them but would defend their rights to wear them. The ladies can wear what they wish if they think it suits them who are we as men to argue.
To me it is a Dance competition and year after year the three top Dancers make it to the top no matter what happens in the run up shows. From week one I said it would be Caroline and Pasha I watch the feet and that girl can dance so enjoy the show up to the last three weeks then enjoy the dance.
Mike rather than run the risk of having this thread removed by starting a debate about free speech I have posted a link to a thread where your comments would be more appropriate
Mike, free speech means that you are free to say what you like, within the bounds of the law, decency, the rules of this forum and hopefully good manners.
Free speech also means that I am free to disagree with you.
Reference to older women as 'mutton dressed as lamb' is insulting and you simply cannot expect it to pass unremarked upon.
