Musicals week: Maisie and Gorka's jive and Ranvir and Giovanni's Viennese Waltz - Blogmas day 4 - Dance Saturday
Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post,
I can't believe that the end of Strictly Come Dancing 2020 is so close right now. It's the semi-final today and I'm excited to see who will make it to the final!
However, last week it was musicals week on Strictly Come Dancing and there were a lot of amazing dances. I especially liked Maisie and Gorka's jive to Little Shop of Horrors as I thought that that was really fun. I also liked Ranvir and Giovanni's Viennese Waltz to She Used to Be Mine as I thought that she told the story really well. Let's talk about these two couples today!
I really liked Maisie and Gorka's jive because I think that they really brought out the element of fun in the dance. I thought that the music suited the jive well and I thought that Maisie's acting was on point throughout the whole of the dance. It was a really fast-paced and difficult routine for a celebrity to do but I think that Maisie handled it just fine because she was energetic and kept up with her partner. I understood Shirley's comment about her improved technique as well because I could see that she was trying to turn her feet out just a little bit more. What I think Maisie could improve on further is the neatness in her kicks and flicks. Just on occasion, I thought that she could have perhaps pointed her feet a bit more and kept them more still in order to make the movement sharper. However, she did amazingly well and I don't know why she isn't more popular with the general public because she really is an amazing dancer.

Ranvir and Giovanni's Viennese Waltz was just a true piece of story telling and the musical, the Waitress, really suited the emotion well. I know that this dance was really personal to Ranvir because it was based on the issues that she had in the past with her self-confidence. However, I think she really blossomed in this dance and shared an intimate piece of herself that really made the dance what it was. She had a beautiful frame and really nice feet. As well as this, she remembered to spot her head in the turns so that she didn't get dizzy and overall there was a really elegant feel to the dance and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Perhaps there were things that could have been neater but I couldn't see much wrong with it to be honest. It was a great performance.
As always, we have to say goodbye to the couple voted off Strictly Come Dancing this week. JJ and Amy were an amazing dance couple. I truly saw JJ as an inspiration because I know how difficult it is to dance ballroom and Latin as it is, but to do it with a disability really astounds me. My favourite dance from JJ and Amy has to be their Viennese Waltz because it was timeless and meaningful. I also really liked the music that they did it to, Lauren Daigle Rescue. Lauren is an amazing artist and I think that it really enhanced their routine. Here's their dance if you haven't seen it already.
