Strictly Top 5 - Claudia and AJ

Hiya guys, The Strictly tour has been over for a while but my brain hasn't wrapped itself around the fact that I have to wait until September for it too start again. But, these Strictly posts are going to keep coming until I've maybe done one for every bit of Strictly possible. If you follow me on any of my social media, or have followed my last few posts, you'll know that Claudia Fragapane and AJ Pritchard were one of my favourite couples in the show and I was gutted that they didn't make it to the final. It wasn't just because they were amazing together and danced amazingly, I think it helped that they are pretty similar age as me (Claudia is 19, I'm 20 and AJ is 22) so I liked seeing some younger people dancing! I know that I put some of their dances in my other top 5's, but I'm going to do one anyway because most of their dances were phenomenal . 1. Jive to Hey Mickey If only there hadn't been that little slip up near the begin...

Strictly Pro Dances of 2016

Hiya guys, It's been about over a month since Strictly has finished and I've been suffering even more post-Strictly sadness since the tour has started and I couldnt able to get any tickets so let's take a moment to cry for me... okay done! Over the last few years, Jason Gilkison and some of the other choreographers have produced some amazing group dances for the pros and I can't even think about picking a favourite, even in this series. I might to an overall one later but welcome too... Sonal's Top 5 Pro Dances of 2016... 1. Nicest Kids in Town This is probably one of my all time favourite dances and I used to watch it pretty much everyday. Even though I noticed some stuff, e.g. AJ dancing by himself *I still want to know the reasons why* it was amazing in every single way. It also helped that it was one of my favourite dances to one of my favourite songs. I love how they incorporated both the pros and the celebs in the Blackpool spectacular and it reall...

Strictly Top 5 Dances - Latin

Hiya Guys, So I mentioned in the last post that I was going to do a separate post for latin dances - I think that shows the standard of this years show because I couldn't just pick 5 from the entire series. So welcome to Sonal's Top Strictly Latin Dances of 2016: Danny and Oti - Samba I mean you can't mention the samba that is the only one in history to get a full 40. From the opening beats, I literally could not take my eyes off the two of them the entire routine and most of you probably felt the same way. From the amazing music to the fitting concept, it was the best thing that Oti could have given to Danny. He did what every samba needs and just let go of all of his inhibitions and just went 110% into the dance. I can;'t just talk about his energy without mentioning the precision of the more technical elements like my favourite samba rolls and not to mention those hips. I am never a fan of samba's but this one I can watch again and again without e...
