What are the best/worst show dances ever seen on Strictly
1 of 3
My favourite showdance was from Denise Van Outen. Seamless and exciting lifts, uplifting song, and I loved the tango section.
I liked the show dance that Camilla and her celeb partner did when they won the competition - sorry can't remember his name at the moment.
Flavia did two great show dances, one for Matt DA and one for Louis. The latter edges it for me. That was stunning!
Brendan & Lisa's Bacofoil is probably the worst..... (IMO)

I really didn't like the Louis Smith show dance - I know I am in the minority, but it did nothing for me.
WORST
Mark and Karen's showdance was shockingly bad imo. Truly awful
The Muppet showdance
BACOFOIL
BEST
Alesha Dixon
Tom Chambers
Kristina and Jason
I loved Abbey's showdance.
Great thread op.

It pains me to say so because I dislike every single single second of him in the show but credit where's due, the absolute best was Tom and Camilla's. She was incredibly clever and played to his strengths. Kristina tried to replicate that for Jason but it didn't work very well.
Jason and Krsitina's could have been brilliant, but it looked under-rehearsed.
I was worried after she removed the second layer of clothing that they were going to end up like Robbie Williams in Rock DJ

Me neither. I could admire his skill and strength but as a dance it left me cold. Similarly I didn't like Caroline & Pasha's (though I loved her in general) - I'm not a fan of wafty contemporumba.
Loved Tom & Camilla's, Kimberley & Pasha's, Matt & Flavia's and (shoot me) Kevin & Susanna's.
Bacofoil is in a special category all of its own...so bad it's brilliant.
The best show dance was Tom Chambers in the same year as the worst show dance which was bacofoil. I shall never forget my horror at watching the latter dance. So much gusset showing.
Tom & Camilla best by a million miles.
There's a lot I don't like but probably Colin & Erin's. Can't remember Christopher Parker's but I bet that was bad!

Arghhhhh cringe, I had forgotten how awful this was. My eyes hurt now 😢
The best or most memorable for me were:
Tom Chambers
Kara Tointon
Louis Smith - his actually blew me away.
Simon Webbe - I quite enjoyed this, although a bit frenetic at times I liked how Kristina choreographed their Strictly 'journey' through dance.
The worst and most memorable
Brendan Cole & Lisa Snowden - I will never forget this in the history of showdances

When the show started the show dance was supposed to "show" what the couples had learned throughout the series, and this did just that. Now we have these contemporary dances, lets do it all barefoot and just makes shapes and lifts, and writhe around all over the floor......uuugh!!!
Worst - Louis & Flavia
Just was dire, and not showing what he had learned as it was gymnastics which we already know he is world class at. I hated this more than bacofoil.

I'm a big fan of Jason.
Best (Being Serious):
Tom Chambers's Showdance - the one that immediately comes to mind for showdance.
Best!!
BACOFOIL
Worst
BACOFOIL - Never have I laughed so much as a dance ever. It's so bad that it's both brilliant and horrific at the same time.
That said a Gleb showdance (if he and Anita reach the final) will probably end taking all these spots next year.

I think many of us would like to see this.
I hate show dances. So for me the same dance is in both categories. Bacofoil is the best because it was the worst.
Colin Jackson's show dance was just plain bonkers, what on earth was Erin thinking?
Bacofoil was just, well, Bacofoil !!!
I really didn't like Louis Smith's show dance
My all time favourite is Tom Chambers and Camilla
I don't like the way show dances have moved towards gymnastics, that said I'm hoping that Anita gets to the final as I think that a Gleb show dance could be spectacular, and not in a good way
