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!

In hindsight, Nige's ghosty rumba outrumbas their ghosty rumbas!

I think so.

I've been down a rabbit hole for that song, and the music videos for all 3 versions have a common theme of death - just don't watch the original one. It's REALLY weird!

Anyway, here is James and Ola showing how it should be done. Their dancing starts at around 1:30.

In honour of Sharleen’s appearance on the Results Show. As I said, I bet Sharleen would love to be on SCD but how do you top having already danced a Tango with Alan Rickman?!

I love that video @CaveMum and the story behind it.

They just look so natural and elegant dancing together.

@xsquared and only Alan Rickman could make a petrol forecourt feel sexy!

A tango AND Alan Rickman?

Damn her!!! 😡

It should have been meeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!! 😭

Some girls get all the luck, right?!

I vaguely recall her talking about how it came about and it was pretty much:

Manager: “Who would you like to play the man in your video?”
Sharleen: “In a dream world, Alan Rickman!”
Manager: “Alright, we’ll ask him.”

Next Day

Manager: “Alan said yes.”
Sharleen: <faints>

Gosh yes a forgettable song but that video was just so sexy

Kelvin & Oti Week 5 Cha Cha Cha…

They obviously got on well as Alan Rickman was in one of her later videos too.
Sharing this just in case anyone needs a giggle and it was mentioned on the main thread.

Well . . .

at least she reacted appropriately.

<grudging acknowledgement>

Brendan's interpretation

James nails most of the lifts

Louis manages a couple of similar lifts too but his chest is doing most of the heavy lifting

It's a bit busy. Hope Layton and Nikita strip it down a bit.

Halloween Pros routine from 2016.

This is 14 years old, but timeless.

Today's pros routine just cannot compare.
