It has to be the Argentine Tango for me!

I went to see Vincent & Flavia's "Last Tango" and their performance of this dance was amazing!!

Foxtrot. Not the dull Strictly version though.

I voted for Charleston

The only dance I'm not overly keen on is the Waltz.

I often see people on here saying the Cha Cha Cha is boring, but I'd say it's my favourite. When it's done well, it just looks fabulous. It's like the party feel of Latin combined with the elegance of ballroom (the straight leg movements).

I like the quicker dances (Charleston, Jive, Quickstep). The only dance I really dislike is the Waltz. i just find it dull and because it's always done very early on there is hardly any good ones.

To watch on Strictly (and what I answered in the poll) Viennese Waltz.
But to do Argentine Tango or salsa (Cuban).

Quickstep and Waltz to dance; Viennese Waltz and Argentine Tango to watch.

I love the Viennese Waltz. My favourite over the years is still Alesha and Matts, it was unforgettably stunning for me. The dress, the song, the elegance, I still get emotional when I watch it.

Argentine Tango all the way.

Although I'm a huge Vincent and Flavia fan, I'd also love to see Jay and Aliona dance the AT again. He seemed so fascinated by it, and danced with such precision and intensity, I'd love to see more. They both looked stunning too.

1) Viennese Waltz - when done well it looks absolutely beautiful. Loved Sophie & Brendan's, Katie & Anton's and, of course, the afore-mentioned Alesha & Matthew's. Hell, I even loved Kellie & Kevin's last year!

2) Charleston - fun, quirky and almost anyone can pull it off. Love the character of it. Peter & Janette's was amazing - there, I've said it.

3) In contrast to the Charleston, the technicality of it is fascinating. Vincent and Flavia's and of course the Ramps and Karen's stand out in the memory.

My favourite is the Paso Doble as even though the dancing isn't technically the best, it's great fun with some great chreography, great Music from all sorts of genres gets selected, and if given to a great dancer can really produce some great results.

I do also like the Argentine Tango for it's atmospheric style, and I like the Charleston.

My favourite dance style both to dance and watch is most definitely the Latin (favourite dance being rumba)

However favourite style on Strictly is the ballroom as the Latin is usually so dire.

Off strictly probably Rumba... I don't really like the ones on the show as a rule.

On strictly... probably paso doble. Even the bad ones have a fun, camp drama to them and it doesn't bother me as much when the dance content is low.

Last year I voted for AT. This year I voted jive. Both compete as my favourite dances to watch (when done well) and ones I'd love to dance.

I love the cha cha (as if you couldn't guess), dunno why it gets the hate!
