Underrated dances?

I was just wondering what people consider will be the most undeservedly forgotten dances this series?

I think Matt's Rumba was completely underrated. It was absolutely brilliant, especially for a male celeb. I also think Kara's Quickstep will be forgotten even though it was fantastic.

Everything Kara danced before her Paso week.

Scott's Tango, which I think scored more from the judges, is probably overshadowed by his Quickstep and absolutely swamped by his Jive.

I think lots of Kara's dances are underrated but her quickstep in particular was absolutely stunning and also under marked in my opinion (it only got a 7 and three 8's =O).
I think Scott's Viennese Waltz gets overlooked as well, people tend to remember his jive or Quickstep more.

I'd go along with Kara's quickstep, and maybe add Matt's to that as well - it was pretty fantastic and about as traditional as Aliona's got all series (bar the ending). In fact, the QS has been the stand-out dance of the series pretty much all round

It won't be forgotten because it became a bit of a hot topic but I thought Matt's American Smooth was very underrated by the judges.

It seems to be a love it or hate it dance but I loved it - the lifts were of the highest quality and it really told a story.

Kara's charleston for sure. Best charleston ever seen on Strictly.

I thought Matt's tango the other night deserved a perfect score it was mesmerising.

I would have to say most of Matt's dances (bar Salsa and Jive) and all of Kara's early dances ( except Charleston)

Kara's Charleston! She had better technique than several of the female pros on the show!

Apart from the swirly bit at the beginning I loved Matt's Quickstep. It seemed to get lost amongst the judges preferring of Scott's (which I also thought was good). I thought that Scott and Matt both did a far better job than Pamela in terms of execution and pace.

Matt's Charleston is my favourite dance of the series. Not perfect but enjoyable.

I actually think Tom's Quickstep was underrated.

Didn't like him , but I actually really liked that dance.

Most of Pam's. Especially her Jive.

I'm not sure any dances this year have been underrated (lots have been overrated!).

Plenty in previous series though (Louisa & Laila's Pasos spring to mind).

Another vote for Kara's charlston, I think she set the tone just right, her moves suited the music perfectly, and were executed brilliantly - she was saucy and sweet.

Jade Johnson's Viennese Waltz, beautifully understated

Kelly Brook's Jive, Viennese Waltz, and American Smooth - all absolutely fantastic.

Seconded - not a clue why the judges thought the performance was lacking. Loved it just as much as Matt's.

Jade's salsa was criminally undermarked much better than Ricky Whittle's and yet marked lower - go figure.

Everything Kara did pre paso; but quickstep at the top of my list. And gavin's foxtrot.

Yep, I'd go along with that.

I always felt that Lisa Snowden's Paso came too early in the competition for her. It was one of those dances where I felt if she had done it a little later in the series it would have been a fantastic performance. An excellent dance which very rarely gets mentioned on here but, still remains one of my faves is Ray and Camilla's VW; it was simply lovely.
