We all know how much people enjoyed the unforgettable dances from Strictly's past (Kara' Rumba, Jill's Jive), but what about dances that nobody mentions but that make you smile?
One that always sticks out for me is Lynda & Darren's Cha-Cha-Cha from Series 7. It wasn't very technical, and she was a bit flat footed, but the music, their smiles and the enthusiasm of the dance really made it stand out and ended up becoming one of my favourites from that year!

She got the highest Salsa score too, I think!
Shame she never really progressed from that moment on

I am sure if she hadn't sustained that injury she would have progressed to the top...
Ali's salsa from the same year...

So much fun!!!!
But the dance that first introduced me to SCD via YT...somehow had managed (unintentionally) to avoid SCD :eek::eek: until then....Gethin and Camilla's waltz.... so beautiful and romantic...

He was fab - so sad they got knocked out so early
I also loved Letitia and Darren's Paso from the same year.
I liked that too, I have series 1 on video and on DVD and that is one of my favourites

Lovely routine and super music, and Pasha was great. Pity he didn't have a better partner than Lacey who has appalling posture and over-dances everything

Didn't that prompt Craig's mortifying "One word- Ruh-Spect"
He did do a Samba as well (the week he was eliminated).
I think I did actually mean his Salsa lol (I always get confused with the early series and those 2 dances, and yes he did get a 10, from Len iirc).
Having said that, I loved Gethin's AT. Great song, great intensity.
Yes it was the salsa - that was the only dance John really excelled in. Poor John he wasn't the worst dancer, I think he was MOR but he ended up in the bottom 2 quite a lot - I think it was four times in total. His salsa was good though I think one of the few weeks he managed to avoid it lol.
They showed him and Nicole going to a salsa club in the VT - he also got some tips from his son who apparently is a salsa enthusiast.

I enjoyed all of James and Camilla's ballroom dances. Two in particular which I really enjoyed that seem to get overlooked are the Viennese Waltz to "Mr Bojangles" and the Foxtrot to "Beyond The Sea". If I remember correctly they didn't do too badly score-wise for these dances.
Gonna add Peter Shilton & Erin Boag's Waltz to my list.
Yes, it was basically my dad dancing this, but it was actually quite technically solid, and strangely captivating!
