I have two:

Jill Halfpenny and Darren Bennett's jive in series two.

And Mark Ramprakash and Karen Hardy's salsa, which got off to a false start when his mic got caught up in her dress in series four.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdMMuH6wmPQ

With both these dances, the total joy and enthusiasm of the celebrities and the happy (purely platonic) relationship they shared with their professional dance partner came through so much. There was plenty of dance content and no props. Nothing I have even seen in subsequent series, however talented the celebrities, has surpassed these performances, which remain my absolute favourites and a wonderful memory.

Oh I loved this dance! Brilliant!

Also, Colin and Erin's rumba for a male celeb one- so gorgeous and actually not cringe worthy.

Actually most of Colin's dances.... and also Ramps AT...

I jumped up off my sofa for no reason at the end of Austin and Erin's Paso because I was so excited, Spanish waiter stylisation or not...

Perhaps, and it is just an assumption on my part...perhaps the OP just means exactly what they stated..their favourite dance. (in terms of feel good etc)

I absolutely loved Abbey and Aljaz's Salsa..perhaps not technically their best but it was one of my favourites.

also any dance that Alesha Dixon and Matthew Cutler performed was heaven for me. I am not at all technically knowledgeable...but in terms of visual entertainment they were sublime. I was ecstatic when they won.

Not technically a salsa either Scarlett. I have a hunch that might be what Jennifer was getting at. But its a fair point, you and every other viewer is entitled to their favourites and to define enjoyment in their own terms.

And you prove your point perfectly. I think Rachel and Vincent's AT was the best we have ever seen, I loved it but strangely its not my favourite. Mark And Karen's was my favourite because of a package of factors beyond the actual dance.

Perhaps I am in a minority but I interpret "the dance" to mean, Waltz, Fox, QS etc...the "steps" whether chorieographed or not, to that dance is the routine...?

A growing minority, I think. It's all gonna go ( i was going to say tits up, but that's okay for some dances done well) to pot.



Something that actually AIN'T THE DANCE always loses for me.

But hey.

It was my 'amateur' intro to the dance - I'd seen VandF do it, but this was the first time the SPIRIT of that dance actually happened in the competition.

And it was thrilling.


But mucho yes - Rachel and Vincents AT was incomparable Strictly wise.
