That's a great list, although I'd probably be tempted to put A&G's Paso at the top of the list - I keep rewatching it and it just seems to get better each time.
1. Anita and Gleb - American Smooth (Week 3) - it's the one I've watched back on YouTube the most and Gleb's choreography was sublime. First time I really took notice of Anita.
2. Kirsty and Brendan - Viennese Waltz (Week 5) - even though it was only for one week, it was lovely seeing her have her 'moment' - definitely the highlight of that night for me.
3. Katie and Anton - Tango (Week 2) - without the minor slip-up, I think it was amazing. If she makes the final I hope she gets to do it again! Loved Katie from that point onwards.
4. Jay and Aliona - Jive (Week 3) - technically incredible and I loved the Pulp Fiction
theme. Aliona choreographed it perfectly. I'd like to see it again in the final!
5. Georgia and Giovanni - Salsa (Week 5) - wasn't overly too keen on GG before then but that turned it around for me. So much fun and disco salsas are a bit of a guilty pleasure of mine.
1. Katie and Anton's Tango.
Just sublime, I loved the false end in the middle and the whole dance gave me goosebumps.
2. Helen and Aljaz's Foxtrot
Helen really embodied Marilyn and the whole dance looked straight from an old musical. Loved it.
3.Anita and Gleb's American Smooth
Loved the contemporary feel, proved that Anita is a real natural dancer in the way she feels and breathes the music.
4. Katie and Anton's Viennese Waltz
So effortless and stylish. Loved the choreography, no faffing about just pure classic ballroom dancing.
5. Jeremy and Karen's Tango
Made me beam from ear to ear. Jeremy was clearly having a blast and it translated through the tv screen our little living room. Great fun.
Jay & Aliona's Jive
Georgia & Giovanni's American Smooth/Viennese Waltz hybrid (for the romance of it + I love the song )
Kellie & Kevin's charlston
Anita & Gleb's Paso
Georgia & Giovanni's tango or samba - they're tied for me! Sorry
4) Katie and Anton's Tango. Loved that dance - got the mood of the dance totally right, engaging routine and she looked incredible. Hope we get to see it again.
5) Jeremy and Karen's Tango (What it lacked in technique and beauty, it more than made up for in entertainment).
If it produces absolute carnage then the Quickstepathon could well be on my list at the end of the series.
Thought I'd give this a little bump before tonight's final.
1) Jay and Aliona's Tango
2) Jay and Aliona's Jive
