Strictly Come Videos '22 — The Multimedia Appendix Thread

[PolkadotsAndMoonbeams]

As some people have been having trouble with the Strictly threads loading when there are lots of videos, this is a linked thread for any videos you want people to see.

Hopefully we should be able to link the threads to and fro, and it will keep the main threads running faster for everyone.

I'll start, with a video showing Neil and Katya — I was saying that they have probably the best current competition record in the show.

I like this one - big fan of humour in dancing (obviously not all the time though!)

Series 2, episode 1

Thanks for this thread polka
DWTS had their Halloween episode recently (on youtube - Artem does a tango to Maneskin as an S+M slave gimp. It is even worse than Aljaz in Sara's couple's choice. Poor Artem).
One routine, which went well, was the ghostly contempowaft.
I used to have the piss taken out of me for having dances in my head where one or both us "went off into the light". Thematically, has been done as memory (Anton and Lesley Joseph's waltz, which also lent itself stylistically to Helen and Aljaz's VW).
Ghost coming back/being a memory also used for Davood and Nadiya (wicked game) and Gregg and Natalie (bring me back to life). Both of those were rumbas. Over the pond, Val did a lovely waltz with Victoria Arlen.
I shan't post them all but they do make a good ghostly montage
Here is Emma's interpretation. Her partner has no dancing experience.

Group pro dance to Mickey Bubbles.

Derek outlining difference between tango and AT.

Okay, am off for a brew [tea]. Thanks again for the thread. Shan't monopolise it (just do not mention arm hankies! ) Cheers polka x

Thank you for the thread Polkadots

I'm going to have a little trawl.

In the meantime here is the tango I like - not a strictly one, just an old and lovely one

Good God!

Is that Bruno in Bondage?!!!!!

Oh me this is lovely @PolkadotsAndMoonbeams

Erm..yes. Not sure why. Whole episode above but no explanation!
(delete my post if whole episode slows down this thread). Xx

FABULOUS!!!

Ive just put the Luke video on here to avoid clogging up the other forum.

Thanks so much for this thread as I never had a problem with the videos on the main thread so was gutted when people asked for them to be stopped!

I have just come across this beautiful Argentine Tango - so much control!

This is EXQUISITE Gerbil

Leonard Cohen music and a beautifully expressed tango - there were shivers going down my spine.

It doesn't get much better than the.

*this

I dreamed that I was dancing the tango, last night. I was doing the leg flicks and everything*

*Not remotely like real life

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a tango so understated. Just gorgeous.

And that was improvised!! 🔥

@Strictlyfanoftenyears

oh man. I love that song. He can fairly belt out a tune. I could quite happily wake up to him singing in the shower of a morning.

Yes - that didn't escape my notice either.

Bung on a random cd and off ye go!

I suppose that they are so familiar with each other's dancing technique, that she is able to interpret from where he places a hand/ foot/ glance where he is going to lead her.

It was beautiful.

Gorgeous. That song is on my [strictly] wish list. Love that AT thank you x

For your delectation

Bloody hell. That’s a bit sexy.

if someone had told me she was weaving the lace on her frock like a spider while she was dancing I would have believed them. Gorgeous.
