Kara danced devinely tonight and has done so on many other nights, but I just think we should appreciate Artems choreograhy and the way he stands back in the dances at times to showcase Kara.

I get fed up of proffessionals who over dance to try to hide a partners weakeness ( yes, Natalie you tonight and last week).

and those who want their partners to conform to their dancing style instead of adjusting their style to what the partner is good at.

I think Artem has produced some stunning dances and has showcased his celebrity wonderfully. If not for the teeth I think he would be perfect.

MASSIVE RESPECT and applause for Artem - he has been an incredible addition to SCD.

Well done Artem.

*stands back and applauds*

Artem has been brilliant. I was really doubtful about his inclusion on the show to start with, but so hope he comes back next year. He shows great integrity, really concentrating on the dance rather than gimmicks. On a personal level he has a very charming personality.

Doesn't hurt that he looks good with his shirt off.

But seriously, he is amazing, he stands back and lets her take the applause, with him it's genuine, with James when he did it for pamela tonight it just looked fake.

He is so dedicated and tries to hard to make the dance perfect.

His choreography is breathtaking, only he and Kara have made me cry this year.

Artem has accomplished something I never, ever thought would happen - he's made me forget to mourn the loss of Matt Cutler. His choreography has been astounding week after week, he comes across as a very lovely guy and even the prospect of a romance on Strictly hasn't put me off him - that's also quite a feat lol. He is my favourite pro now. Love him and the work he does on this show.

I think he's great.... not really realised the point you made about the way he steps back to show Kara's dancing. That's a really good point - thanks!

have already commented in here but just have to agree with this post.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who also thought that James doing the same thing looked rather "copycatting" and fake.

Artem genuinely showcases Kara so SHE can shine, not him - is one of his tremendous (and numerous) strengths.

he is, quite simply, outstanding.

The thing I like is that he hasnt dummed down his choreogrphy for Kara, he has pushed her each week (unlike James) and I agree he has let Kara take the applause most weeks without it looking false (unlike others)

Samba Pa Ti by Santana - guitar by Carlos Santana. Fabulous piece of 70s music.

Oops forgot to say that I love Artem too - his choreography is amazing, I've never seen one of the professsionals time it so well to the music.
He seems like a nice guy too, wanting Kara to have the limelight at the end of the dance

And I like the fact that he can have a bit of a strop too

Even though I am a Matt supporter I cannot disagree with this. He has been amazing.

He is the man. Kara is the woman. Pam is the ham. James is the sham.

Artem has been very focused and professional but has not been afraid to push Kara to her limits.

Should definitely be back next year

You're showing your age and I'm showing mine but it was by Sam Brown


Artem is a dance god and choreography genius. He can do no wrong in my eyes.
Gorgeous to boot too.
