Quickstep or foxtrot for me.

I don't really like any of the Latin dances. (Does that mean I have to leave?)

I like QS, VW, Paso, Foxtrot, AS, Jive.
I like ATs and Rumbas that are well done but mediocre ones aren't fun to watch at all.

Salsa, Samba and Cha Cha go to the bottom of the pile... and the rest are ok depending on who does it.

Absolutely not! Or I'd have to leave with you...

The Quickstep is my favourite dance by a long way, but I do also love a good Foxtrot, which is basically a slowed down quickstep (or the quickstep is a faster-paced foxtrot, whatever).

In Latin, I positively loathe the rumba (except when danced by Kara and Artem), closely followed by a dislike of the salsambchajive.

Like some others I loved the AT when it was a semi-final dance as though couples had to earn the right to dance it (a bit like Bolero on DOI). Mark and Karen's AT is still my favourite ever Strictly dance.

I also love a waltz though more when it's danced later in the series when posture and frame tend to be better and I love the drama of a good Paso.

Jive and the Waltz(including the VW) are my faves - jive for it's energy and to me the waltz is the classic ballroom dance, elegance and romance in one

I dislike all of the latin 'party dances' - chacha, samba etc - they normally just look like a "mess of moves" with no real flow.

A tricky choice but I think I'd go for the American Smooth followed by the Jive. I can't stand the Argentine Tango except when Vincent and Flavia do it.

Tango and quickstep for the celebrities, but AT is my favourite when Vincent and Flavia do it (and I love their rumbas too). I really like the waltz as well.

Quickstep, followed by the Jive!

The Quickstep, definitely

Jive or Paso in Latin, although they can be amongst the worst when performed badly.

QS is my favourite ballroom.

I find the dreamy dances boring, I'm not keen on either waltz, foxtrot or my personal hate - the rumba.

The quickstep! I love the Charleston too though.

The quick step, especially Austin Healey and Erin.

I felt that way until I started to learn how to dance myself. Many of the Ballroom dances are still very boring to watch most of the time, but it's obviously different when you're dancing yourself.

Ditto for V & F when they do the Argentine Tango. Unbeatable.

But I have a sneaky fondness for the rumba because, when done well (Kara & Artem/ James & Cherie) it can be mesmerising. But when done ahem not quite so well, I do have a bit of a snicker on my Saturday night sofa.

The waltz, foxtrot, quickstep and American Smooth. Don't know why, but I'm not such a huge fan of the Latin ones...?

CravenHaven, I used to have a dog that joined in when we (very occasionally) danced a conga! A border collie!

LOL! I love the dreamy dances! The rumba though I hate even if pros are dancing (maybe with a few exceptions).

My problem is I don't like seeing dances being danced badly - and when it comes to Latin, that's about 75% of the time!

A jive done correctly can end Strictly careers

Shame it happens so rarely.

I do quite enjoy the mystery and moodiness of the Tango.

But I've grown to appreciate the Foxtrot most. When done well, it's gorgeous. Like watching people dancing in old movies.
