Strictly Dance Fever: The Auditions 2

There were five different dances performed tonight by auditionees form the Midlands and Wales. First was Latin American dances, followed by Jazz, for which the second couple were notably better, and thankfully the judges agreed and put them through. Third was Swing. This category was used last week, but this week the emphasis was on hand-jive apparently. The first couple were quite good, both lawyers who had quit their jobs to concentrate on their routine. The second couple were much better and rightly put through by the judges Also, this week there was another Freestyle section, for all those that don't come under the umbrella of a particular genre. One girl was classically tained, her partner had no training and their routine had ballet influences. The other couple included a Britney Spears tribute artist and a backing dancer for another Britney tribute artist, they performed a more pop based routine (to Britney). Sadly the latter got through, although I felt the first couple were better, and certainly different. The final group was Disco again. The first couple were peroxide blondes and a bit out of sync. I thought the next couple were better but the judges were critical of them, but put them though to the public vote.

The couples that made it through on the public vote were the Jazz couple, the Swing/hand jive couple and the Britney loving Freestylers.
