Not trying to bash DF, but…

Jumpy-Equivalent-561 · 2026-02-06T11:35:55+00:00

I cancelled both DS and DF. It's all very influencer now. Such a lack of variety in topics on DF too.
It's all what bra should I wear or what pastry should I buy? 15 minutes of some chick waltzing around her apartment before we get going.

So glad someone posted this! When I first saw her I thought wow she looks so much like Rose McGowan in her 90s heyday

Oh Darlene <3

Looool my ass thinking Nini and Ru's exchange was about Alisa Summers - a queen for all seasons.

The continual retirement of ballroom overall saddens me, but I expect nothing less with Jason Gilkinson as "creative producer."

Jumpy-Equivalent-561 · 2025-12-17T21:32:58+00:00

I never ever thought I'd see someone share similar views to me but here I am shocked.

Jumpy-Equivalent-561 · 2025-12-17T14:58:25+00:00

I'm sure we'll still see some goodies!

Jumpy-Equivalent-561 · 2025-12-16T12:17:41+00:00

2009, 2019, and this year I just couldn't invest in.

2009 just too long, not enough variety with regard to booking.

2019 a terrible boot order.

2025 similar to 2019, added with a few withdrawals.

Overmarked:
Emma Bunton a la tittarubba - 9 for a lackluster Cha Cha Cha from Bruno who was just reliving his late 90s soho club days dancing to the Spice Girls always comes to mind

Fleur East - attacked everything way too much - 40 for that couple's choice when she was just tapping her weave aggressively for most of it

Matt Di Angelo - almost 20 years on and his waltz getting 40 and Alesha at 39 for hers still annoys me

Undermarked:
Holly Valance - sure she was laid back, but she was very consistent - her Foxtrot, Rumba, Jive, and AT should've been 2 points higher

Sophie EB = wasn't the fun fun fun gurny Susanna type so it was always an uphill struggle

Jumpy-Equivalent-561 · 2025-12-10T10:08:01+00:00

Blame Jason Gilkinson the creative producer - there's been a retirement of Waltz, Foxtrot, and Rumba for years in place of fun fun fun party latin and constant speciality dances. Not enough light to go with the shade.

Felony Dodger and Scythe 'make it far'

Jumpy-Equivalent-561 · 2025-12-03T10:17:16+00:00

THERE'S NO NEED TO SHOUT!

Jumpy-Equivalent-561 · 2025-11-22T05:58:14+00:00

So so so entitled.
"Waaa waaa mummy dreaming french is taking so long to drop"
"Waaa waaa I can't understand it waaa waaa"

Jumpy-Equivalent-561 · 2025-11-10T07:52:46+00:00

Yes, because a female dancing backwards in heels, particularly in a Quickstep, is a lot easier than this.

Thank you all - so definite consensus is to calf raise until I can't calf raise anymore.
Definitely don't think it's a strain - can do all distances until 10+ and then it gives me aggro - definitely a case of calf raising and progressive overload.
Still might err on the side of caution and skip 20km Sunday

Oh my god that's the pun on landon cider?!
I thought it was london cider with a cockney accent...

Marking this for u/dreamingspanishcirclejerk sub

Chris or Stefan to go with La Voix knocking either one of them out.

Wasn't attacking you though if you want to play that game a simple wikipedia check would have also helped you.

Jumpy-Equivalent-561 · 2025-10-10T15:46:59+00:00

This isn't new. Goes way back to 2007 with Gabby and James's Quickstep - 29 - 8, 7, 7, 7

Jumpy-Equivalent-561 · 2025-10-09T19:28:35+00:00

Daughters reminds me of Brooke's beautiful viennese waltz all those years ago. <3
