I was not a big fan of that couple at the beginning but now, when I see how big progress and work they made (especially Sasha) I became their fan and it's really pleasing for my eyes to watch them! Go Sasha and Salvo, you are GREAT!!!
There is lots of showmanship and razzmataz, etc which is great to a point, but the longer it went, the more aggressive and frantic Salvo got. At least, that's how it looked and felt to me. It's a highlight of one's career to dance solo at Blackpool, and I think Salvo got a tad carried away with the occasion and overcooked it. . Having said that, I think the dance skills have improved substantially.
