Favourite Latin : Jive/Paso
Least favourite : sounds cheesy but I dont really have one; I like them all for different reasons.

Favourite Ballroom : Since it counts as a ballroom at strictly, the Argentine Tango. Ballroom Tango as well.
Least Favourite : probably the foxtrot.

for me it is the same faves to watch and dance myself
Fave Ballroom Waltz love the elegence and grace of this dance and how slow it is so I can think about what is coming next
least fave ballroom VW I suffer vertigo myself and dizziness so I hate doing the spins and cant do it without going dizzy. If the spins could be taken out i would probibly be able to do it. Love to watch VW just find it the hardest becuase of my vertigo and dizziness to to myself. Thats why i always think when people do it well i wish i could do it. Again i think this would be the ballroom that doesnt suit me if everyone has one latin and ballroom that doesnt suit them& would chose to skip VW& Rumba if possible
Fave Latin oh to watch and dance it has to be Cha-Cha-Cha love the fun and freedom you can have with this and I find it an easier latin to do
Least Fave Latin Rumba. for some reason I can do all the other latin stuff really well but when I try to dance Rumba i cant get the hang of it wonder if in strictly terms thats the dance that doesnt suit me (since everyone has one) love to watch all the dances on Strictly. Just cant seem to get the hang of VW or Rumba when i have a go myself. If i could get the hang of them and do them well myself i would like those dances also most likley and wouldnt have any least faves

Ballroom
Favourite: tango and Quicstep
Least favourite: foxtrot (so dull) and AT (not well danced & Strictly camerawork too hyperactive for intimacy of dance)

Latin
Favourite: jive and paso
Least favourite: paso

Love a paso when it's danced well (or even when not done well, John Sargeant's paso is one of my favourites ever), not a fan of pasos like Susanna's or Anita's which are so style over substance with added stomping and i find them hysterical but not in a good way

Consistent favourite dance overall is the Charleston. I like the walz & quickstep if danced by Anton.

Really dislike the rumba.

I like any ballroom danced by Anton as he still does good ballroom and at a push the charlestons that he do arent too shabby and his rumba this year was way better than i thought it would. Guess your going to be voing for him tommorow to make the final with Katie next week?

Same favourites. If I had to choose, Jive and QS.

Least favourites:

American Smooth - Pointless, as lifts are too common to have a wow factor now.

Samba - I don't think I've ever enjoyed watching one.
