Natalie's dancing was ALL lifts!
I've always thought this but when they first danced her and her partner they never really...DANCED!
It was ALL lifts! She snapped her fingers, her did an air spread eagle and jumped off the stage. She jumped down into his arms. He held her hands while she spun, then she just kept leaping into her arms.
On the actual DanceTV show lifts were very rare. They relied on lifts to showcase Natalie. But just so many lifts were weird.
Even in her solo her dancing was awkward because you could tell she just wanted to be lifted.
Sure Janey and Jeff did some gymnastics but they only did the first flips off the platform then it was choreographed dancing and a few lifts in between but MORE dancing.
I know they needed a showdown between Janey and Natalie but I couldn't believe they gave her an all lift routine. The only couple who danced who should have been in competition with Janey and Jeff were the couple from Florida. Jim Walker (the Big Fella) and Mimi Doyle (with the blond poodle puff hair)
They had nice costumes and actually danced.
It was DanceTV not lift TV. The gymnastics showed how flexible Janey and Jeff were.
