Salsa starts as a basic and quite easy dance but can soon progress into very complex and intricate moves...and I'm guessing these guys won't have shied away from that.
They start with a cartwheel over Artem's shoulder...yet another example of how the Strictly rulebook has gone out of the window!
I feel Kara looks a little wooden at times and her basics are pretty awful, looking laboured and lost. Add in another cartwheel and then a lift to finish and the whole routine just feels forced rather than flowing...Mark Ramprakash it ain't!
I'm only going to give it a 7.
Craig: 9 "Extremely ambitious routine...did absolutely brilliantly...second part...the choreography let you down"
Len: 9 "Full-on, high energy, flat-out Salsa...absolutely brilliant...sometimes you lose a tad of control"
Alisha: 9 "One of the best openings to the show...did miss the 'armography' that I expect"
Bruno: 9 "Never seen anyone put so many head [flicks]...made a mistake...eliminate the little things"
Total Score: 36
Hmm, interesting...to me that really wasn't a good Salsa with head-flicks that seemed out of place and footwork that was all over the place...maybe it's just too early in the morning for me?

I've watched it back and maybe an 8 due to complexity but I still wouldn't have given it a 9.
