Controversy on the Dance Floor
Strictly Come Dancing contestant Tasha Ghouri has found herself at the center of a "fix" controversy due to her professional dance training background. Despite wowing the judges with her cha cha routine, some fans cried foul play.
Impressive Start
Teaming up with Aljaz Skorjanec, Tasha impressed the judges and audience alike, securing an impressive score of 30 out of 40 in their first week. Their performance put them neck and neck with another dancing duo on the leaderboard.
Debate Among Fans
While some fans raised concerns about Tasha's previous dance experience, others came to her defense, highlighting the differences between commercial dance and ballroom/latin styles. The judges, however, were full of praise for the duo's performance.
Commercial Dance Background
Before her appearance on Strictly, Tasha trained in commercial dance at the Creative Academy in Slough. Despite her background, she expressed the challenges of transitioning to ballroom and latin styles, emphasizing the need to relearn techniques.
Judges' Acclaim
The judges commended Tasha and Aljaz for their performance, with Motsi Mabuse impressed by their skill and setting a high standard early in the competition. Shirley Ballas noted Tasha's potential for spectacular leg actions in the future.
Close Competition
Although Tasha narrowly missed the top spot on the leaderboard, she faced tough competition from JB Gill and Amy Dowden, who scored 31 points with their waltz routine. The competition is heating up as the dancers aim to showcase their best moves.
