Strictly Come Dancing 2023 - the one with all the videos

[CaveMum]

Apparently there have been issues sharing videos on the SCD threads in the past so, to ensure it doesn’t interfere with the chat, here’s a thread just for your favourite SCD and SCD related videos.

I’ll start with an old fave, Shirley Ballas dancing a Rumba demo at a clinic with fellow ex-pro Michael Chapman.

THIS is what a Rumba should look like - soft and romantic. Take note Class of ‘23!

Oh no no no I didn't mean for the video to be reshared I am so sorry.

If you want a giggle - here’s Shirley attempting to teach Will Ferrell to dance a Rumba.

Katya and Neil perform a Showdance

So while we're waiting for this season to get going, does anyone fancy sharing their favourite pro dances?

Here's one of mine, an Afro-Latin street party:

Just so much fun, energy and power! Love Oti and Johannes carrying on after it 'officially' ends too.

I don't think I remember any particularly amazing pro routines from last year?

Faye and Gio perform a brilliant Charleston

Love love love me a video thread! Thank you!

Charli was a ringer supreme but took the title last year on DWTS. Loved watching her though.

Going down my "I still miss Pash" rabbit-hole...

Craig being Craig!

Thanks for that Pasha video. Wasn't he the most gorgeous!

He was. Here he is with Lauren on SYTYCD.

It will be interesting seeing Layton try and stick to the dance rules. He is very modern freestyle.
I get the impression Layton is all about Layton.

Oh yes.

Absolutely all about Layton.

He should be dancing to Bobby's song in that case! but change it to it's all about me
I like the samba song he's dancing to, so will hold my tongue til I've seen him.
I'd have him open the show and have Krishnan on last as per the music list.

Harry's paso. Not polished but shows the potential he had before being paired with Aliona and the self-deprecating embarrassed grin of relief at the end always makes me warm to him.

It is ridiculous. He should not be a competitor.

@CaveMum

Can I just say a thank you for posting Shirley and Michael dancing again at the top of the thread.

I’ve loved many dances but I genuinely think this is my favourite. It makes my soul happy.

You’re welcome @ArcaneWireless

Oh and of course we can’t have a Strictly video thread without a Danny Mac & Oti Samba.

And probably my favourite ever pro-dance demo on Strictly (excuse the poor quality)

And if you want a little more Joanna and Michael on Strictly:

Why Daniel Mays should follow in Nigel Harman's footsteps and do Strictly!

Okay it's the Manneskin cover this Saturday, rather than the Killers, but last time Somebody Told Me was used...

Just stumbled on a video of Shirley giving a Jive masterclass. Suffice to say, I would not mess with Shirl!

Looks like it is an event happening in Rome as there are other videos including a gorgeous one on Rumba walks which I’ll also share.
