Matt and Lilia American Smooth- that dance, plus the VT beforehand, are what Strictly is about for me. Someone having a breakthrough and discovering they love dancing. My favourite dance of any series.

Colin and Erin Quickstep- no-one should be that good in week two! One of the routines that got me watching series three, although I defected and voted for Darren in the final!

Jill and Darren Paso- best Latin routine of any series

Chris and Ola Charleston- the only iconic routine of series seven

Scott and Natalie Quickstep- just loved the choreography, I've watched it again quite a few times. Very stylish.


Of the pro dances- Rebel Yell Jive and Larin Medley, both series five.
The first group Rumba (silver dresses), which I think was series six.
Darren and Lilia Volare
Vincent and Flavia Milonga
Series four Cha Cha
Any solo routine done by Matt and Nicole

There is only one dance that is memorable the JS paso. All the rest have faded from recall. None of the celebrities even those with prior training are professional class. It's equivalent too comedy sketches like 4(fork) candles by the two Ronnies some things just stick in the memory.

Oh I really enjoyed Matt & Flavia's salsa, also

Austins paso is noe on my favorite just because it was so different

Aleesha and AMtthews waltz was the first dance that made me cry they were so involved with it

her cha xha xha stands out for me also

Gethin and Camilla AS because they too seemed lost in the dance

Every one of Alesha & Matt's dances (apart from their paso lol). Their chemistry on the dancefloor was only matched by their chemistry off it. Not to mention their ability to perform and how well suited they were for each other. And performance aside, she was just a fabulous dancer. Best Strictly couple for me by a mile, both in regards to the dancing match and the personality match.

Other than that, standout routines that I loved were:

Emma & Darren's QS
Matt & Flavia's salsa
Kelly & Brendan's jive
Jill & Darren's jive
Ricky & Natalie's QS and AT
Tom & Camilla's showdance & QS

As for the pro dances, I love most of them but the ones that really stick in the memory are the amazing jive to Rebel Yell in series 5 I think and Flavia & Vincent's AT in series 5. They were a-maz-ing!

So agree Tangerine, the pro jive to Rebel Yell is probably my all time favourite pro dance. I couldnt believe they could move their feet so quickly, Matt Cutler was amazing in that!

I loved Gethin and Camilla's waltz, jive, Argentine Tango, in fact pretty much all of their dances; they were a great partnership. Also Mark and Karen's AT and salsa, and Louisa and Vincent's jive!
