Matt Baker & Aliona Vilani - Salsa


For me their Jive was disappointing last week, too much show and not enough substance, I'm hoping for a better Salsa this week.


Lifts of course are permitted in Salsa so that beginning won't be an issue.  Matt's getting some very nice hip action...though I'm not sure about the thrusting over Aliona on the floor?  Seemed to go slightly out of time just after the New York.  Just seems to have lost a bit of puff at the end though.

Just a few niggles for me but only an 8.

Craig: 7 "Balance was off...too much isolation...writhing looked awkward...bit insipid"
Len: 7 "You've been so good throughout this whole series...this for me was not that good...wasn't keen on that gyrating thing"
Alisha: 7 "I really liked the opening lift...a lot of basic Salsa...didn't like that grinding section...a bit stiff"
Bruno: 7 "Salsa is smooth...can't push it you have to let it happen...over-worked it"

Total Score: 28
