And back to the pro jive.......................


I was open mouthed with awe watching that. Their legs were moving so fast i was astonished that i didn't notice anyone out of step. I loved Brian and Kristinas solo and Darren and Lilias but the man of the moment had to be Matthew.

I always love watching him dance latin but that was a cut above last night. To find he choreographed it too - i agree hes a dancing God and it made me realise what a big miss he is from the competition

Yes, to pop back on topic, Matt was definitely the man of the moment!

The only thing that let it down was the camera work, which was mental even by Strictly standards! I wonder what the producers are on, to think that national and world champions dancing needs "jazzing up" so that the audience doesn't get bored

I'm pretty sure it was choreographed by Matt Cutler.

Well done Matt. Brilliant stuff.
Fantastic wasn't he!!!!! I look forward to the pro dances even more this year as its the only chance I get of seeing him doing what he does best.

The producers and cameramen aren't from the dance field - they don't understand the need to show the feet nor the importance of staying still to get the most of the dancers' movement. As for getting the whole group in when it's a formation dance...

I understand they want to jazz it up for TV, but they also badly need to be advised from people more experienced in filming dance, as the camerawork is distracting and annoying.

Yes, he was always very popular on Gay Night at the Rivoli!



You`re one of the very vocal fms trying to protect Anton over his alleged racist comments and then you come out with a comment like that ???

I'm not sure what you mean. Gay Night happens to be the best dancing in London at the Rivoli and loads of people who are not gay go to it. Matthew has been there a few times, so has Brendan and - although I've not seen them - I believe Anton and Erin have too. I am certainly not implying that Matthew is gay, though I find it extraordinary that you would think that and that it could be construed as an insult. Do you have something against homosexuals?!

At a rough guess your disappointment was because Vincent and Flavia were missing rather than the Jive which most people seem to have considered brilliant!

I'm always gutted when you look forward to a Pro dance all week and then your favourite Pro is nowhere to be seen. It does temper my enjoyment.

It was amazing! Brilliant choreography from Matt and they all did really well with the speed. Matt was by far the best but I thought Darren and Lilia and James and Ola also really did well.

The absence of Flavia and Vincent can only be a good thing imo. Im sick of those two always hogging the pro dances, they get on my nerves. Its like they are the producers faves or something so its about time the others got a chance to shine. To say a dance wasn't good just because your faves are missing is just ridiculous. I can always appreciate what the pro's do because I know I could never do it myself.

That wasn't my opinion of the Jive! I loved it! And V+F are a long way from the top of my favourite Pro list! If you looked at the name of the poster I replied to you will see why I thought that their enjoyment might have been muted as I know them to be a big V+F supporter and they were the only Pro's who did not dance last night.

Although I said it tempers my enjoyment not to see my favourite Pro I didn't say that I didn't still enjoy Pro dances from the others. I always do but some are just as breathtaking as the Jive and others are just nice or ok. Personal point of view!

From a person point of view I look forward to Strictly for the rest of the year and yes, I, like most, do have a favourite Pro. Mine being Matthew Cutler. When your favourite Pro is out first week then it makes you look forward to the Pro dances more as it is the only opportunity to see them dance this series.

I liked it, although my favourite pro jive has to be the 'Rebel Yell' one (series 5?)
Anton was in that jive.

It was fantastic, the speed they moved at was incredible. loved the solo sections too. Well done Matt for choreographing it.

All the pros were great but Brendan and Matt really stood out.

I have to admit that I wasn't overly keen on this jive last night but I've watched it back and I think that I was very wrong! I couldn't take my eyes off Matt and Aliona, they were amazing .

I think you have to watch it a few times to really appreciate the speed and skill.....its impossible to take it all in during one viewing.

I can imagine the other pros faces when Matt first showed them that routine

Matts was a class above the rest, some were really struggling to keep up. His feet are like lightening. World class...just world class.
He is so missed in the series this year. I like all Matthews dances.....he just lights up the dance floor.
I want Nicole back to...her standard of dancing is sorely missed.

I know, but (and I'm happy to be corrected) but i think he and Erin were the only couple in that jive who didn't do a solo spot, which is fine by me!

Just managed to watch the Pro dance and it was outstanding. There best so far this series, maybe the best Pro dance ever. The speed, timing and togetherness of all the dancers was just out of this world.

Well done to all and to the choreographer, if it was Karen.
