I only think there is one dance that I would class as my favourite. I think it is the best dance we've ever seen on Strictly. Certainly nothing this year has come close!

I'm talking about Zoe Ball's tango. It was the combination of music, choreography, performance and everything, and it still gives me goosebumps now. If anyone wants to reupload it to Youtube, they would have my eternal thanks.

I don't really have any favourites over the other dances, as there have been several I like about the same of them all.

The Charleston and Rock 'n' Roll are slightly different as they've only been danced in one episode - therefore, Ali Bastian for the charleston, and Ricky Whittle for the RnR.

Other than that, I really couldn't say.

Rachel only just edged Zoe's Tango in my opinion but I can see how alot of people found Zoe's better. Rachel's was more subtle, while Zoe's was "grand opera on the dance floor" I'm gonna have to go and rewatch Zoe's now, it was fabulous

Oh, Rachel's was wonderful as well. I think I've kind of spoilt the tango for myself by adoring Zoe's as much as I do though - I want that level of performance in every single one, so even very, very good ones like Rachel's fall ever so slightly short in my eyes. It also means that tangos like Rav's, for example, make me want to cry...

Zoe and Ian's tango - Best ever dance on the whole show.

Matt and Lilia's waltz - Simply beautiful. He is seriously overlooked.

Matt and Lilia's quickstep - Can't hear that song without smiling.

Jill and Darren's jive - Nuff said.

Mark and Karen's salsa - Brilliant.

Tom and Camilla's showdance - Made a wonderful change to the weightlifting.

Showdance:
Tom and Camilla

Foxtrot:
I really can't think of any that stand out for me.

See above.

My favourite Foxtrot would be way back in Series one
Natasha and Brendan's to The Girl From Ipinema the first time a dance on Strictly gave me goosebumps, this for me was the dance that made Strictly.
and I too loved their samba to Love Is In The Air, that and Zoe's were the only 2 Strictly Sambas that blew my socks off.
