Paso Doble - Week 3
Our dream team can feel justifiably proud of their
achievements in Act I; we certainly were and could not wait for more.
They never lost sight of the enormous amount of
support they received from us and from each other.
Thank you so much to everyone who voted for Danny and
I from the bottom of our hearts 💓💓we appreciate you all; week 3 now

Week 3 - @Oti Mabuse: Just taking a moment to thank
@dannymaconline for taking care of me this week! fell ill, you were amazing👏 all well now but all thanks to you.
Back in the training room it's Movie
Week and #teamdoti will perform (and it will be a performance) the Paso Doble
to the rhythms of "The Train/El Sombrero Blanco" from The Mask of
Zorro.
Oti takes Danny to the Armoury at
Hampton Court for a lesson in fencing to get him into the Paso groove.
Danny decides
to get his own back for all that bossing in the training room. And Oti
gets skewered! But her time will come.

All those hours in the training room makes a man ravenously hungry. Need to hurry before the drill sergeant turns up with her whip.
You're right Divas. Should have been more careful about what I asked for. Why did you guys not tell me before.
Oh well Danny, never mind lad. You can take it.
Just taking a few minutes here to recharge me batteries before getting into Zorro gear

Act II Scene 2
Week 4 - Quickstep
As usual preparation for the next
hurdle begins in the Training Room.
First out of the gate is the quickstep.
First out of the gate is the quickstep.
It was time to reprise a golden oldie,
a touch of the Fred Astaire with Oti
channelling Josephine Baker, among the first African-American
women to leave a mark on the dance world.

| I Won't Dance - Fred Astaire |
All his life Danny Mac had 'wanted to dress like this and dance like that'...goal achieved. One off the bucket list.
Talking with Zoe B in the It Takes
Two slot, Danny is ecstatic. That was his favourite routine by far.
The
judges
said:
"That is one of the best classic Quicksteps I've seen". "A dazzling display of virtuoso dancing". Score 9*9*9*9*
The dream team had done well thus far. It seemed to the Divas that a top score was more than well deserved. That quickstep was sublime. What the heck was going on?
Week 5 - Rumba
The next dance, a Rumba performed to Sam Smith's How Will
I Know, was going to prove something of a challenge
for the Mac.
 |
| Smooth glide Danny Mac, smooth and rythmic |
The Rumba calls for precision and balance with smooth,
sensual curvy movements. The man can look a bit effeminate sometimes. It can be unpopular with male celebrities on Strictly. Oh my Danny Mac you can't be
shy for this one. You just have to go for it! And whatever you do, don't fall over!
|
Indeed it will Danny Mac and Oti is going to
test your mettle. Would the ethereal Piscean bend or break under
the stress and strain?
"You may want to cower away" Danny said, but when bossy chick says "Bring It" you had better find it to bring!
And bring it he did. True to his word, Danny Mac showed up and
committed.
A shared giggle of relief...we got through it...well done she says!
"It was a masculine performance" said Len Goodman. Hurrah.
But the scores - 8*9*9*9? Hey judges wassup? Enough already!

Especially after the quickstep, the #TeamDoti Fanworld was getting
restless.

What would the Dream team have to do exactly to
pull even one 10 out of the bag?!
How did they do? You were just fabulous our team!
Tameka Empson, actress, was the second celeb to bite the dust. Our Team had gone through to Halloween week when the ghouls are out. Perhaps they will come bearing gifts. So best to take another brief intermission now.
