Ellie Simmonds and Nikita Kuzmin are preparing to dance their way into week two of the competition and have faced challenges in adapting a classic waltz for the show
Strictly Come Dancing stars Ellie Simmonds and Nikita Kuzmin will take to the dance floor for the second time on Saturday night and have shared on spin-off show It Takes Two that it's been a "challenging week".
The duo received an admirable score of 266 out of 40 for their week one Cha Cha Cha, placing them in the middle of the leaderboard. This week they're tackling, the Waltz which Nikita has admitted is "challenging". After watching a clip, Nikita added: "Look at the footwork, I am really proud of the footwork, she’s doing great."
"Of course in every step we have to think, how can we go around each other? Because the stride is slightly different so in every step we are very conscious about it.He concluded positively: "The good thing is the technique is still the same, the technique is always there. The rise and fall, the heel and toe, it's still the same so we can rely on that, but it's had a lot of challenges.
"It was definitely something I thought about a lot before saying yes. Strictly have been amazing and have been helping me so much, walking me around the studio just to make sure I can reach everything and see if I need extra steps."
