Series 8 provided me with so many great dances, probably my favourite series ever.

I'm gonna post my list of 'bests', and just add in what made it from this series.

Show Dance - Alesha & Matthew
Salsa - Kara & Artem
Jive - Louisa & Vincent
Cha Cha Cha - Alesha & Matthew / Lisa & Brendan
Samba - Alesha & Matthew
Rumba - Rachel & Vincent / Kara & Artem - really can't choose
Paso Doble - Kara & Artem
Argentine Tango - Rachel & Vincent
Tango - Rachel & Vincent / Kara & Artem - really can't choose
American Smooth - Kara & Artem
Foxtrot - Rachel & Vincent
Waltz - Alesha & Matthew
Viennese Waltz - Kara / Pamela / Alesha / Ali - what can I say, I'm a sucker for the Viennese Waltz. It's not even my favourite dance, but there have been so many beautiful ones!
Quickstep - Alesha & Matthew
Charleston - Kara & Artem

I cant put a whole list because there are so many of the same dances from more than one couple that I love however for me from this series the dances I will take away as highlights and sometimes absolute favourites are:-

Kara and Artem American Smooth (in Blackpool)
Kara and Artem Rumba
Kara and Artem VW
Kara and Artem Salsa
Scott and Natalie Jive
Every appearance of Gavin and Katya on ITT and their training footage and a fair few of their dances....they never failed to make me smile and laugh out loud...

Just based on this series (because there were so many fantastic dances)

Rumba - Pamela and James. I LOVED Kara and Artem's too but P&J's was so understated and beautiful and I'm so disapointed it was danced so early on.

Viennese Waltz: Pamela and James, Kara and Artem.

Paso: Kara & Artem

American Smooth: Kara & Artem, Pamela & James

Argentine Tango: Kara & Artem - that bit at the start....just wow.

Waltz: Pamela & James - still my overriding favourite dance of the whole series. So happy that we saw the start of it again in their showdance.

Anytime Gavin was on ITT - he is so funny and I love him

When Pammie stumbled and the giggles with Claudia following that.

Kara and Artem's blossoming relationship. I know many think it is for the cameras but I really dont

All in all the best ever series of Strictly although I am sure you can all see a pattern emerging in my choices
