Strictly-what are your best dances ever??!

[rollonthesummer]

Getting all excited about tomorrow's Strictly and think the Beeb should do a 'top 10 rated dances' program so we can watch them again!

Mine would be
Jill and Darren's jive
Austin and Erin's jive
Tom and Camilla's show dance
Jay and Aliona's jive
Georgia and Giovanni's Charleston
Chris and Ola's Charleston
Ore and Joanne's jive

I think I must like the Jive and charleston best!!

Any other takers?!

Ooh-thank you for all of the replies! Glad to see I'm not alone with my favourites!

I am missing Artem-things aren't the same without him!

I'd also like to bring back Matthew Cutler and Darren Bennett.

I'd like Ian Waite and Karen Hardy to become judges too!

If only I ruled the world!

Artem and Natalie's show dance
Artem and holly Argentine tango
I miss Artem

Mark and Karen's Argentine tango takes some beating

Jay and Aliona's Tango - and their Jive, obviously. I also loved their Paso.
Danny and Oti's Cha Cha and their Samba.
Harry and Aliona's Quickstep and their Argentine Tango.
Abbey and Aljaz's Quickstep.
Sophie and Brendan's Charleston.
Louis and Flavia's Salsa - just for the Dirty Dancing refs, really And their Charleston where he flips over and his feet land so near her face - I panic he's going to land on her every time!

These are the ones I rewatch over and over. Danny's Cha Cha is fast becoming one of my all time faves.

I love a Viennese Waltz and remember both Sophie and Brendan's (to my favourite things) and Kelly Brook and Brendan's (to Delilah) being wonderful. When I'm on Strictly, I'm going to dance the VW with Brendan

I am a relative newcomer to the world of Strictly though, so I don't really feel all the love for Karen Hardy, or worship at the altar of the first holy jive! Plus, I really dislike Jill's hair in that dance

Oh and I loved Mark and Iveta's cha cha cha (I think it was a cha cha cha anyway) to Hammertime - I still you-tube that from time to time

Simon and Kristina's AT
Matt and Flavia salsa
Jay and Aliona's jive
Danny and Oti's samba
Gleb and Anita's paso

A jive to Hit the Road Jack - can't remember who it was!

That was Scott and Natalie's.

I loved Jay and Aliona's jive
Jill half penny's jive
And Ed Balls' Gangham style dance

Kara and Artem were amazing. Rumba and Viennese Waltz probably my faves of theirs. Can't believe they never got a 40 - blimmin Craig!

So glad Oti is getting some airtime this year, she looked spectacular last year but barely got to dance.

yy to sophies charleston
susannah and kevins paso

also
louisa and vincents jive

to the poster upthread who was asking about good rumbas -
artem and kara tointons
matt baker and alionas

just fab

Emma bunton's (Argentine?) tango to "look at me" . Sorry- can't remember who her partner was...

Christopher and Hanna in the first series doing paso doble to the theme of Batman. He was so adorable, and it was hilarious.

Harry and Aliona's Viennese Waltz- I think I was hormonal, but it's the one Strictly dance that's made me cry.
Jay and Aliona's Tango- it was hot Aliona could be a bit wild but when she got it right she got it really right.

And possibly my favourite ever: Colin and Erin's American Smooth. Just pure infectious razzmatazz

I could watch that on repeat for hours.

Lovely dance from Erin! She looks completely different there than she does now!!

Jill's jive will always be the peak of strictly for me!

Oh yes, Jay and Alionas jive was also great, in a totally different way.

Anything done byou Danny Mac
Actually charleston Artem did with Holly Valance, she didn't perform it particularly well but I loved it.
Ore'so jive this year was incredible.
I love Brandon Coles bat dance this year too, although I think it didn't do Anastasia any favours.
And John Sargents Pass Doble still makes me smile

Oh yes Jay! His paso doble was quite, ahem, lovely

I hadn't seen this before but this article has a link to the Matt Di Angelo dance someone mentioned upthread.

Good grief, how on earth could Len and Bruno give Matt scores of 8 for that? It was falling apart even before he gave up. Mind you, it's quite funny that Bruce blatantly didn't notice that it had gone disastrously wrong.
