Wow! What a blast this first season of Strictly Come Dancing has been for me. I can’t thank Nathan, Andrea, and Donna more for encouraging me to watch. What’s more….after all their encouragements, it was announced Gleb Savchenko was hired as a Pro. Can you only imagine how this set me over the top? 😯 Then there is ALL of you who have helped, watched, and taken in the show with us to make it even that more fun. Andrea took time out of her busy schedule almost every day and helped to post videos. Mr A, Nathan, Cidra, M8, Vin, and Daniel helped with dance information and Clair helped with her screen caps. Even Heidi (who doesn’t watch the show) covered when I couldn’t be here. Seriously, I can’t thank you all enough. You have made these posts possible and have all helped me to pull through a hard time more than you can know. ((((THANK YOU))))) I know my Dad is smiling in heaven thanking you too…and dancing!
Scroll below for updates…
So, here we are about to take in the Strictly Come dancing Semi-Finals! This week, the couples will be dancing TWO DANCES! Mr A has listed them all in comments in the former SCD post. And get ready. The Group number is looking amazing so far….
More teasers for the show here.

ETA: Wow. What a show! I’m freaking out for how close they all are. Well, except for Katie and Anton. More from me in comments with my rankings, etc. In the meantime and thanks to Andrea, below is Gleb and Anita’s Foxtrot.
Another video coming, Stay tuned.
ETA2: And here is Gleb and Anita’s salsa. What a show stopper!!
More dances at the official You Tube site.
ETA3: You can view some breathtaking HQ shots of the Semi-Finals here and here. They say it all on the night.
Entertainment Focus also listed their Top 5 favorite dances at this link. I don’t think I would have put Georgia and Giovanni’s Cha Cha at #2. Their V. Waltz was better imo. Yay for Gleb and Anita’s’s show stopping Salsa at #4. Though I would have put it higher. Though note also how Katie and Anton’s dances aren’t part of the top 5 which I agree with.
Also, Claire made some beautiful screencaps. Below is Gleb and Anita shining in all of their glory. Goodness! Thanks Claire! More coming soon here.
Thanks for all of your thoughts so far in comments. Here’s to the Results show later today. Let’s hope the right 4 go on….and in my opinion (and from yours too by the looks of it here and at twitter), that is Kellie and Kevin, Georgia and Giovanni, Anita and Gleb, and Jay and Aliona!!
ETA4: Well, I’m heartsick on the elimination of Gleb and Anita. They deserved to be in the finals before Anton and Katie. But, wow, let’s give it up to them. What a season they both can feel proud of. Not one time did they not challenge themselves and with such entertaining and show stopping dances. I’ll never forget not one of them. I am so proud of them both. Here is the dance off. Thanks to Andrea for recording. Love you, Gleb and Anita!!!

It’s the quarterfinals of Strictly Come Dancing! This week, the couples will be dancing to songs from big Musicals! Mr A has listed them all in comments in the former SCD post. Note that Anita and Gleb will perform an Argentine Tango to ‘Cell Block Tango’ from Chicago. If you know anything about Gleb, you know this dance is one of his finest. Let’s wish them the best as Gleb had an horrible allergic reaction this week and is on the mends with that too.
Also note there is also going to be TWO group performances this week. Below is a sneak peek…

ETA3: Thanks for all of your awesome comments and rankings on the show yesterday! What did you all think of the Results show today? I was so sad to see Helen and Aljaz go. It doesn’t seem right. I know they had a rough dance yesterday. Even still they were one of the best couples. But, shewwwww… I’m so thankful Gleb and Anita made it. So, below is the Lion King number from today. Is this not amazing or what?!!

It’s Week 10 of Strictly Come Dancing! My how times flies when you are having fun, doesn’t it?!!! I’m sure going to miss Tristan and Jamelia and the fun and light they brought to the show every week.
So, this week, Anita and Gleb will perform a Rumba to ‘Read All About It’ by Emeli Sande. They teased on their Rumba in their new “It Take Two” appearance at the end of this video. I love how Anita is embracing it as a “woman”. She says it’s full of content from Gleb. They talk on him as a teacher too. Good stuff…
As for what everyone else is dancing, Mr A listed them all in the comments of the previous SCD post. The couples also have a Quickstep-a-thon! As always, let us know on all of your thoughts in comments. Who did you like the best and who will be in the dance off and go home? Feel free to rank them if you like too. Lastly and more importantly, BE SURE TO VOTE right after the show! Also, don’t miss the Elimination show on Sunday as Adam Lambert is performing and there will also be another pro number.

More at the Official site!! Be sure to let us know what you think if you haven’t yet!
ETA2: What a great results show. Adam Lambert and the pro numbers were just stunning. Thank goodness Gleb and Anita were called safe. Kellie & Kevin and Peter & Jeanette were in the dance off. Peter & Jeanette were eliminated. Did the right pair go home? I think so. Let us know your thoughts in comments. Videos on the night coming soon!!!
ETA3: And some videos from the Results show. THANKS ANDREA for all of your hard work!xx

It’s finally here….the week we’ve all been waiting for as the contestants of Strictly Come Dancing go to Blackpool. I’m so excited and if you don’t know about “Blackpool”, see this video that Andrea recorded for us. It’s …well…magical….
You can also view some fun photos of the contestants arriving to Blackpool at the Blackpool Gazette. For more teasers from this past week getting us ready for today and tomorrow including rehearsals and interviews, see Andrea’s You Tube. Claire also out did herself with screen caps this week. Lots of good stuff!
For the dances, Anita and Gleb will perform the Paso Doble to the dramatic ‘Malaguena’ by Connie Francis. We are in for a #GlebSpecial indeed as his Paso’s are always off the hook. Jamelia and Tristan are doing a Quickstep to the 1960’s classic ‘I’m A Believer’ by The Monkees. Watch out, they were all smiles on ‘It Takes Two’ this week. Nothing is getting them down not even a silly dance off any more. If you want to see what everyone else is dancing, Mr A listed them all in the comments of the previous SCD post. As always, let us know on all of your thoughts in comments. Who did you like the best and who will be in the dance off and go home? Feel free to rank them if you like too.

Hi all, Heidi here. Vogue asked me to send you all her love as she can’t be here today. Please send her strength and healing vibes, as today is going to be a difficult day for her. (((Vogue)))
She also asked me to put up this post for all the Strictly fans. I’ve not been watching the show this season, so I’m not sure what’s going on, but I did see in the last post who’s dancing what, thanks to Mr. A in the comments. I do have an objection to the Gleb hashtags which implies that he created that move he did last week – you know, the one he took from Derek and Shawn’s Mambo in 2012. Lucky for him he’s so good looking. 😉
Anyway, Gleb and Anita are apparently doing a Quickstep to ‘Don’t Get Me Wrong’ by The Pretenders. I looked for a video but couldn’t seem to find one of Gleb doing quickstep.
Tristan Macmanus and Jamelia will be performing the Samba to ‘A Little Respect’ by Erasure. If you want to see what everyone else is dancing, Mr A listed them all in the comments of the previous SCD post.

Don’t forget Blackpool Week is confirmed for Week 9, so, we want to make sure our favorite couples get there. THANKS EVERYONE!! You’ve made this season of both versions of Dancing With The Stars a blast!

ETA: Thanks to Andrea, here are the dances from Gleb and Tristan (and their partners). Len didn’t say a word about the breaking hold in the middle of the quickstep – he’s always such a different judge on the UK version.
I'm a nerd and proud of it. Two degrees in geology also means I love BEER. :-) I'm also a Derek lover - proud of that too. So don't scream at those of us on this site and call us a bunch of "biased Derek-lovers" - it's just ME. :-) It may sound like I hate DWTS at times, but really, I'm just a snarky nitpicker from way back. And I'm cynical and jaded too. But I do love DWTS. :-)
It’s Strictly Come Dancing time! It’s hard to believe we are in Week 7. Time flies when you are having fun. This week Gleb Savchenko and Anita Rani are dancing a Jive to ‘The Boy Does Nothing’ by former Strictly winner Alesha Dixon and they are dancing 7th!! Gleb hashtags #GlebSpecial” and “FlyingTeaBag”. I wonder what we’re in store for? The last time he did a Jive on DWTSRussia (with Adelina Sotnikova), he jumped off of a telephone booth. Remember this? #WayHot and #SoCool
Tristan Macmanus and Jamelia are dancing a Viennese Waltz to ‘Trouble’ by Ray LaMontagne. The last time Tristan did a Viennese Waltz was with Rachel Stevens on a Strictly Christmas Special last year. They were Tinkerbell and Peter Pan to ‘Please Come Home for Christmas’ by the Eagles. Is this not magical?
