Still IMO one of the best male celebs we've had on Strictly. |

American Smooth - Patrick & Anya (even with the mistake, I remember watching it and thinking: Jesus, that was awesome!)
Argentine Tango - Mark & Karen, the original and the best (nothing has ever come close) Ballroom Tango - Zoe & Ian Cha Cha Cha - Alesha & Matthew Charleston - Caroline & Pasha (Sophie & Brendan is a very close second, but I have had 'Istanbul, not Constantinople' in my head for months now) Foxtrot - Simon & Kristina Jive - Scott & Natalie Paso Doble - Susanna & Kevin (Chelsee & Pasha a close second) Quickstep - Harry & Aliona Rumba - Cherie & James Salsa - Mark & Karen, the original and the best (Jake & Janette just behind) Samba - Zoe & Ian Viennese Waltz - Alesha & Matthew (though I loved Matt & Aliona's as well) Waltz - Abbey & Aljaz ^ For a lot of mine it's the song

I'm going to go by what resonates in my memory for some of the dances, as I don't have memories for all:
American Smooth - Natalie Gumede Argentine Tango - Rachel Stevens but I like Alesha's too Ballroom Tango - ? Cha Cha Cha - either Mark Benson or Patrick Robinson, though I like Alesha's too Charleston - Laila Rouass or Holly Vallance Foxtrot - ? Jive - three way tie: Ricky Whittle or Scott Maslen or Dani Harman Paso Doble - I love virtually all the ones danced because it's an amazing dance! Quickstep - Tom Chambers or Natalie Cassidy Rumba - Natalie Gumede Salsa - Kara Tointon Samba - Jade Johnson Viennese Waltz - Denise van Outen or Patrick Robinson Waltz - ? |
