FORNEBU (Dagbladet): On Saturday evening, a bunch of Norway’s celebrities are ready for another round on the dance floor. Last week there was a premiere of “Shall we dance”, and all the participants were safe.
This week, on the other hand, someone has to pack their dancing shoes and leave the dance floor for the last time.
This is what she says about the pressure
The celebrities have been in hard training since last Saturday, to show off new arts. Maybe someone is showing improvement from last week? Professional dancer and former “Skal vi danse” profile Lillian Aasebø is with Dagbladet to roll the dice.
Here is tonight’s roll of the dice:
The evening’s first dance couple is Harlem Alexander and Helene Spilling. They dance cha cha cha to the song “One Kiss” by Dua Lipa. Last Saturday, Aasebø rolled a six on the dice.

The judges give the pair 21 points.
Aasebø is not satisfied.
– I’m disappointed… From top grade to 4. You do a lot of good things such as the fact that you use your pages very well and lead your partner well in certain steps. It was unfortunately without energy and with little presence – especially the last part of the dance.
Second on the dance floor are Lavrans Solli and Amalie Aune. They dance a sensual salsa to Benjamin Ingrosso’s song “All Night Long”. This is the only salsa of the evening.

They get 16 points from the judges.
– I don’t think this was very good Lavrans. This became stiff and chaotic, says Aasebø and adds:
– It seemed that you enjoyed yourself more on the floor this time, with a bit more presence. BUT, had the music and the rhythm not been there…I would hardly have seen it was a salsa. I need a lot more movement, and until next time; try to think about the character of the dance!
– Elegant
Selma Ibrahim and Santino Mirenna are the next couple out on the floor, bracing themselves on a slowfox – in stark contrast to last week’s cha cha cha. They dance to the song “Komplicerad” by Miss Li.

They got 13 points last week. This week the judges give 16 points.
– This dance style suits you, with beautiful elegant lines! Slowfox is difficult and it seems that you have worked. Well delivered, says Aasebø, but adds a little tip:
– Make sure you don’t get on your partner’s side in the team, so that you shine on each side!
Myra Tucker enters the parquet with veteran Jørgen Nilsen, as the fourth couple on the dance floor. Like Alexander and Spilling, they also dance a cha cha cha. Hips sway to the tunes of “I Like it Like That” by Pete Rodriguez.

Tucker and Nilsen get 21 points from the judges.
– Mixed feelings here as I sit. I see you’re used to the stage and it looks like you own that floor! Love it! Great straight legs that should be in a cha cha cha, just make sure you don’t lock your movements, says Aasebø.
– Seductive
Fifth dance couple on the floor are former wrestlers Stig-André Berge and Norunn Ringvoll. For the song “Legend” by The Score, they try an Argentine tango.

The pair gets 18 points from the judges.
– Hot hot hot! But unfortunately you won’t get more than three this time either, says Aasebø and adds:
– Impressive stunt, strong and seductive, but I want more stability, and a better attitude towards my partner.
Trude Vasstrand and Catalin Anderi Mihu are the last couple on the dance floor before TV 2’s newscast and mark the end of the first half of the programme. They dance the jive to Tina Turner’s iconic “Proud Mary”.

Mihu and Vasstrand received 19 points from the judging panel.
– Fire hood! It’s a full party this Saturday – AND YOU’RE THE REASON! Now you took your place on that floor!!! Welcome to “Shall we dance”. No full pot due to the technicalities can certainly be better, but well done! says Aasebø.
During the break, Selma Ibrahim tells Dagbladet that the toughest thing this week has been the partner.
– No, she says jokingly and adds that they have a lot of fun together.
– There will be many hours in the same room, says Mirenna.
– More contact with the floor
After the break, it’s Christer Rødseth and Ida Amy Sund’s turn on the floor. This week they dance the tango to The White Stripes’ hit “Seven Nation Army”.

From the judges, Rødseth and Sund get 19 points.
– You are turned on, and are present – great! But I think you are somewhat too tall in your shoulders, you are too tall in your body in general. I want more contact with the floor, says Dagbladet’s expert Lillian Aasebø.
The next pair out are Alexandra Joner and Ole Thomas Hansen. Last week, the couple was praised by both the judging panel and Aasebø, and now they slowfox dance to “Flowers” by Miley Cyrus.

The pair received praise from the judges, and 28 points.
– You leave a mark! The drop height is great when delivering from the start – you refer to KVALITEDANS tonight too, says Aasebø and adds:
– Slowfox is a difficult dance, and that on top of it all you “shape” as you already do in program two, is insanely good!
Hadia Tajik and Jone Snilstveit are the ninth couple on the “Shall we dance” floor, and embark on a paso doble. It is danced to One Republic’s song “Counting Stars”.

The judges give the pair 19 points.
– Yes, Hadia!!! says Aasebø. She follows up:
– There is a nice power in you, and you use your legs well, especially over the long side of the floor and into a lift. Wish I saw more of the sensual feminine combined with this power, rather than the elegant.
– I screamed “yes” at the start, but then the dance fell out a bit. Full focus going forward, on technique!
“Traitor” winner Aslak Maurstad and partner Marianne Sandaker dance to Elton John’s song “I’m Still Standing”. They’re braving themselves tonight at a jive.

The judges give the pair 22 points.
– Charm troll! I loved it – I love you! I’m sure that everyone will be so incredibly happy to see you out on the floor, boasts Aasebø. She still has to pull for the technique:
– Unfortunately, I can’t give you more than dice roll three, Aslak. Simply because the jive technique is not good enough. Want stronger ankles in kicks for example, but hello – a strong three!
– Sexy!
Fritz Aanes and Vyara Klisurska danced the tango last week, and are trying a quickstep this week. They will dance to the song “Last Nite” by The Strokes.

Aanes and Klisurska get 15 points from the judges.
– The joy of dancing is good, but it doesn’t last. I am so impressed with all your promises! But that’s not enough… If we look at the quickstep itself, it’s rattled. Sorry, says Aasebø.
The last couple on the floor is Ulrikke Brandstorp with partner Tarjei Svalastog. The last dance of the evening is an Argentine tango, set to the song “Can’t Get You Out of My Head” by Kylie Minogue.

Brandstorp and Svalastog get 25 points from the judges.
– Sexy! says Aasebø to the last dance of the evening.
– You have really signed up for the competition. For an empathy, and for a contact with a partner. I think most people were carried away. Good work!
– Until next time … Just a little tease. Make sure you get all the way over on one foot. You seemed to be standing partly with your weight between your legs at times. Possibly too big steps here and there, so that this became difficult.
