Damian and Tina Arena Dancing Jive and Foxtrot
48 hours and we were back at Global studios for another show day with two new dances!! Actually felt like we never left the place over those double show weekends as you are required to be there the day before to camera block all your routines and of course the all important dress runs to make sure all the out fits will work for the coming dances.
It was a cracking start to the show if I do say so myself as we were first up with our Jive. My little jive bunny Tiny Tina pulled off the routine perfectly and executed everything we had been working on together so well. Such a great jive, and the music was personally one of my favourites, I love a good old jive (Land of a Thousand Dances by Wilson Pickett). The judges awarded us our first perfect score of the series much to our delight, a fantastic start to our night!
Damian and Tina Arena Dancing Foxtrot
Next up we had the foxtrot and with this number I really set up the piece for Tina to take control and be a sexy, seductive woman after the money. I found she attached herself to the character right from the get go which is something that is coming a lot easier to her now compared to some of our earlier routines, we managed to get another great score which rounded out our night with a 78 out of a possible 80 points not to shabby for the week from hell!!!
Heres the Jive in case you missed it.
