Apologies if this has been done before but mine has to be either Jay McGuiness's jive to You Never Can Tell, or Mark Ramprakash's Argentine Tango!

Agree with many mentioned here but the first dance I always think of is Kevin and Kellie’s show dance to ding dong daddy of the D car line. I don’t think I’d ever really seen a Lindy hop before and it just made me smile so much.

I think that's just as important! It's not always the excellence of the dance.

I love Danny and Oti's American Smooth to Misty Blue, the lift at the end is breathtaking

MirandaMarple · 19/12/2020 21:21

Jill Halfpenny's jive. I watch now and again on YouTube but I can't find a good quality video?!

She was amazing! She made me want to be able to dance.

I forgot about Debbie and Gio's Argentine Tango she is such an elegant dancer

LeeHarper5 · 19/12/2020 21:40

Jill Halfpenny’s jive and Jay’s jive... both amazing but I also absolutely loved Abbey Clancy’s salsa with Aljaz.

happy97 · 19/12/2020 21:42

Debbie was definitely a winner. Better than Joe McFadden.

Yet another vote for Jay’s jive. The reaction I had while watching that for the first time was like nothing else. It blew me away. Absolute farce that he didn’t get 40. It’s not too early for 40 if it’s the best dance Strictly has ever seen.

@tobee

Mark and Karen samba.

Salsa! Why did I write Samba?

OP, clean your mouth out! Shock Angry
He should have won.

StrangeAddiction · 20/12/2020 07:41

I loved Alexandra Burke and Gorka's Argentine Tango.

Oh aesthetically he ticked all the boxes! There was just something too smooth about him.

Exactly the same here, completely blown away.

Another vote for the fantastic Jays jive, but almost in touching distance is Oti and Danny’s samba, the music and dancing was amazing!
And Gleb and Anitas Argentine tango, the music the power, the Gleb!

awaynboilyurheid · 20/12/2020 08:35

Sorry got carried away with thought of Gleb, it was their paseo doble of course.
Saw them perform it live on strictly tour was a fantastic dance.

VaTeLaverLesMains · 20/12/2020 08:36

Ed Balls gangnam. Unforgettable GrinGrin

Strictly at 4.45 has all the most memorable dances. Hope Jay's jive is there!

Merry Christmas everyone 🎄

Kelvin and Otis Rumba to ‘Ain’t no sunshine’ sexy as hell

Kez200 · 25/12/2020 19:11

For quality, Jays jive. Perfect.

For sheer emotion and audience/fan involvement Mark and Karens AT. That was when Strictly was at its very best to me.

happy97 · 25/12/2020 19:50

@Kez200 It's my absolute fave!

Danny & Oti's American Smooth to Misty Blue. Sheer perfection.

PaperMonster · 25/12/2020 21:02

Jay’s jive and Stacey’s tango.

Janedownourlane · 25/12/2020 21:11

Loved Jay's jive, also Gio and Georgia, Hot Honey Rag charleston.
Also agree, Oti and danny Misty Blue...that leap at the end...!

GlitchStitch · 25/12/2020 21:19

Jay and Aliona's Jive. And their Rumba.
I loved all of Danny and Oti's dances but my personal faves were his Salsa and American Smooth, probably because I loved the music for both.
Kelvin and Oti's jive was also great.
Joe and Katya's Samba because it was so unique and worked really well.

They are the dances I rewatch the most on YouTube.
