Damian and Tina Arena Dancing Foxtrot and Viennese Waltz

Onto Tuesdays show with only a day of rehearsals!! Crazy, we had a fusion dance, which combined Viennese Waltz and Foxtrot and we also had the dance marathon with a Blues Brothers theme combining Jive, Swing & Twist against all the remaining couples in the comp on the floor at the same time. Our fusion dance was to It’s Oh So Quiet by Bjork, awesome fun track and easy to fuse the two dances together considering the foxtrot is 4/4 timing and the V Waltz a 3/4 but there was clear tempo changes in the music which we could use thankfully. The pressure to remember and perform the number in under a day didn’t get to Tina and we managed to receive our highest score of the season. Kudos to a seasoned performer!

Damian and Tina’s Dance Marathon!!

The dance marathons are always a bit of fun as it’s the first time we all get to dance together on the floor at the same time, a good test of stamina and staying power for the stars as its 4 minutes long, who knew I had quite the jive bunny!!
