SCD - best dances ever

[rollonoctober]

I watched the first few series of SCD back in the day but haven't watched for years. But then this year I needed some lighthearted Saturday night tv so have been watching for the first time in about 10-12 years.

I'm really enjoying it and have been lurking on the threads on here too which are great. On those, there are loads of mentions of good dances from previous series that I've missed and, having watched a few, I'd really like to watch some more of the classics that I've missed.

So hit me with the best strictly dances from across all the series, would love to see some more of the good ones!

In no particular order my favourites are :
Artem & Kara - Argentine Tango
Danny & Oti - Samba
Jay & Aliona - Jive
Kara & Artem - Rumba
Caroline & Pasha - Charleston
Faye & Giovanni - Charleston
Kelvin & Oti - Samba
Jill & Darren - Jive

Jay and Aliona’s jive
Ed and Katya Gangnam Style (salsa?)
Caroline and Pasha Charleston
Georgia and Giovanni Charleston
Kimberly and Pasha show dance
Charles Venn and Karen couples choice
Danny Mac and Oti anything but particularly samba and Charleston
Sophie Ellis Bextor and Brendan Charleston
Faye and Giovanni theatre jazz
Jake and Janette salsa and samba

I think it was sheer surprise of seeing Ed and Katya come out to dance a salsa (and I was expecting it to be a bit rubbish tbh) and it being this wonderful Psy tribute with lifts that makes me remember it so well

My favourite was the Halloween group dance on the result show from a few years ago. It involved the main dancer trying to keep the female dancer, and she being taken by the other dancers. Can’t remember which year.

Pp already said it, but Oti and Danny Macs Samba, wow!!

Brilliant, I now have a list compiled and am ready to hit YouTube later while I'm sitting in the dark waiting for DC to go to sleep.

Enjoy

Oti & Kelvin's Samba
Oti & Kelvin's Showdance
Abby & Alijaz's Waltz
Jay & Aliona's Jive

Caroline and Pasha Charleston, Fay and Giovani Charleston, Abbey and Aljaz waltz.

Rollon you will have to let us know which ones are your favourites.

Oti and Kelvins samba. It was perfection.

Oti and Danny Mac's samba is my all-time favourite.

@Annny27

Oti and Danny Macs Samba! Was incredible :D

I came on the say this!

I don't really watch, but I really liked Sophie Ellis Bextor's Charleston.
The Argentine Tango by Mark Ramprakash was stunning. I hope Karen Hardy left of her own accord because she was the best dancer that show has ever had.

Another vote for Danni and Otis samba, by far the best dance. If ever Im feeling down I watch it on youtube

Same! Dishranawaywiththespoon , I love the music they danced too as well

Agree Karen hardy was stunning.
Jay and Aliona’s jive is a standout, as well as Denise Van Outen (can’t remember her partner) doing the Charleston, although Denise obviously had a huge advantage to start with

Debbie and Giovanni's tango to I gotta feeling

Simon Webbe and Kristina's Argentine tango de Roxanne.

I've watched both of those routines literally hundreds of times.

DVO and James Jordan-was it the Walk like an Egyptian one? That was brilliant.

yes that's the one!!

Kristina and Simon's Argentine tango

Mine’s a bit voyeuristic and not very nice but it was the Pasa Doble with Ben Cohen.
I love Supermassive Black Hole but then they came on and did this incredibly tense dance with lust coming out there eyes. I remember thinking “ blimey those two are really feeling it” and then the camera panned to his wife. You could see she had clocked it too and there was a definite “ moment” . But the dance was spectacular because of it.
It’s not the clunky one that’s on YouTube either. I wonder why.
Ben was an absolute bellend for doing that though . I felt so badly for his wife, after having to do all the fake family shit on Ben’s journey on bloody national TV.

I still feel cheated that we didn't get to see Sophie Ellis Bextor's Charleston again in the final.

I was in the audience when Alexandra Burke did Proud Mary - she was completely amazing and absolutely had star quality. She was sooo much better than Joe Mcfadden.

Simon Webbe and Kristina’s AT- perfection
Ore and Joanne’sjive
Danny and Oti’s Samba
Kara and Artem AT
Jay and Aliona’s jive
Kara and Artem- tango
Faye and Gio - couple’s choice
Ed and Katya Gangnam
Mark and Iveta - Can’t touch it
Charles and Karen’s couple’s choice
The chap from Eastenders and Flavia - salsa
Mark R and Karen’s salsa
Jill and Darren- jive
