Here’s a clip from Strictly Come Dancing, the show Dancing with the Stars was based on. It features Britain’s Next Top Model host Lisa Snowdon doing the Argentine Tango with professional dance partner Brendan Cole.  She has the drama and passion of the dance, but seems to be a bit manlier than her partner.  Part of it, I think, is that she’s so tall! I enjoyed the timing and music selection, but what kind of disappointed me (not that I can do them any better) were her ganchos.  They seemed to be a bit unsure.  And her backward ochos (figure 8’s) looked  a bit messy.  (Another step I tend to be careless with) She did really well in the flying bits though and made those parts look really graceful.

Just a side note on how Brendan’s girlfriend Zoe Hobbs would come and watch his training sessions with Lisa according to Mirror just to make sure things stayed professional.  It’s happened one to many times that dance partners get too carried away.  There’s so much  juicy intrigue in the world of dance!

I just wish the judges’ comments were included in the clip above.  How do you think she did?
