Holly Valence & Artem Chigvintsev - Cha Cha Cha


As Holly says in her intro, she's dancing with last year's winner so there's definitely a lot of pressure there.  Holly's not looking too bad in training so let's see how the performance goes.

I'd like to see a bit more hip action and a little less posing, Holly also needs to keep her eyes up and stop looking at the floor.

It kind of feels a little lacklustre at times and Holly needs to keep her posture upright.  I can't say the performance was too bad, but neither did it excite me - there didn't seem to be a lot of variety in the routine.

For me I'm going to say a 6 but she does have potential.


Len "It's not the best first dance I've ever seen, but I'll tell you what, it was close"

Craig: 6 "Sharper arm placement...flexed knees throughout...lacked hip action"
Len: 7 "Could have been crisper...leg's need to straighten more"
Alesha: 8 "You are a very good dancer...technique is already at a very high standard"
Bruno: 7 "Flowingly sensuous...needs more bite...go for it because you've got it"

Total 28

As usual I seem to side more with Craig than the other judges, but then students always call me 'bad cop' so I suppose they must be right.

Holly can definitely improve from here but too early for 8's I would say Alesha.
