What's your top ten dances ever? It doesn't have to be in order.

Mine is, in order:

1. Rachel & Vincent's Argentine Tango
2. Kimberley & Pasha's Charleston
3. Rachel & Vincent's Tango
4. Chelsee & Pasha's Jive
5. Jodie & Ian's Quickstep (strange one to throw in, but I loved it and still watch it today)
6. Holly & Artem's Paso Doble
7. Tom & Camilla's Salsa
8. Kimberley & Pasha's American Smooth
9. Chelsee & Pasha's Quickstep
10. Rachel & Vincent's American Smooth (Semi Final)

Honourable mentions: Rachel & Vincent's Cha Cha Cha, Dani & Vincent's Fusion, Kimberley & Pasha's Fusion, Kimberley & Pasha's Jive

Honourable mentions (for being really bad but being great): John & Kristina's Paso Doble, Michael & Natalie's Jive, Ann & Anton's Rumba

For some reason, I just can't take to the American Smooth. In terms of the Tango, it's got to be Mark and Karen for me.

Ballroom or Argentine? I didn't really watch that year but my mum always talks about how great his Argentine Tango was. She really liked Mark.

ooh sorry Argentine. Mark was really great and consistently good. I did think Matt's showdance that year though was better than Mark's

I didn't really watch it that year but I remember liking Emma Bunton's Salsa but it doesn't match Mark & Karen's Salsa (so I hear)

yeah Emma was good but Mark had this knack of making each dance look easy. Also Karen was an experienced coach and she was hungry for that win.

This one does it for me.

"Because they meant it."

It's done it for around a quarter of a million others, over three videos.

DR, thanks for that clip because I hadn't seen that dance before. Head and shoulders above Rachel and Vincent's rumba I now see. Kara really is a good dancer and she wasn't egotistical about it either. The other thing about her is she had the sex factor and charisma to carry off dances like that. Notice the movement of the hips - THAT'S how it should be done.

Ones that come to mind are:
- Mark Ramprakash and Karen Hardy's cha cha cha
- Vincent Simone and Natalie Cassady's QS at Blackpool
- Vincent Simone and Dani Harmer's dance fusion of QS with charleston
- Jade Johnson and Ian Waite's samba

There are some jives missing but they aren't coming to mind at the moment.

James and Vincent should study this and learn about sway, taking long steps and lowering to the floor.
