Emotions ran high as Tasha, moved to tears by her own grace, wowed everyone with her Viennese Waltz to “Misty Blue” by Dorothy Moore alongside pro partner Aljaz Skorjanec.
Swathed in a stunning cobalt blue gown, Tasha glided across the floor with such poise that head judge Shirley Ballas said it was the “dance of the night,” confessing it made her “quite emotional”. Anton Du Beke jokingly lamented: “Give us a chance, I wanted a fault so I could mark you down, seamless flow, immaculate frame, gorgeous footwork.”
Craig Revel Horwood mirrored the sentiment, naming it the “dance of the night”. Motsi Mabuse added her praise: “Love watching you, you brought us in, keep it up, amazing.”
After their breathtaking performance, an overwhelmed Tasha shed tears of joy while racking up the season’s first nines, summing up to a historic score of 35 points.
