Because the jive talking thread seemed to go down, because the tango has become the dance of doom is year and because YET again my fav celeb has got a dance that very few effers can ever sell and I need cheering up - I'm opening the floor for people's favourite tangos especially the ones that not many think of.

In order of appearance as mentioned before:

James and Camelia's - which I can't find through googling sadly.

Kelly and Brendan's

and because might not be the best but I really liked it

Also Lesley's tango music reminded me of : Don and Lilia https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qdi2NAFmF48

Also I know he missed his heel leads in the final both I thought Mark Ramprakash's one was really good and Peter Schmicheal's wasn't bad.

I know some people on here hate it, but I LOVED Frankie and Kevin's Tango to Defying Gravity. Jaliona's to When Doves Cry as well was up there with the best.

Loved both of these. Also Rachel and Vincent.

Zoe and Ian's remains my favourite.

Also loved Pixie and Trent's hair raising Halloween Tango.

This is one I have mixed feelings about - Holly and Artem. Its very different, very stylish and works for the most part. The music is poor though.

I can't link to it as I can't access YouTube at work (assuming it's on there) but I really liked Anton's tango with Patsy Palmer.

I enjoyed Anton's Tango last year with Katie Derham - especially the false finish in the middle! I remember cringing when I heard they'd be dancing to Telephone, how wrong I was!

One of my very favourites ever. It was overshadowed by Zoe's tango that series, but personally I thought it was danced better. Good to see that someone else remembers it.

Denise & Ian, Alesha & Matthew, Austin & Erin and Kara & Artem all did quality tangos, but then I enjoyed almost everything all of those couples did. On another tack, James & Camilla's was probably one of the first "themed" dances ever on the show and worked really well. Jason & Kristina's camp tango as well was glorious, probably my highlight of his run on the show, and the same with Ainsley & Natalie's ABBA number last year. As a Guilty Pleasure, I've also got a soft spot for Steve & Ola's from Series 12, just because it was so OTT ridiculous to have him start it straddling a motorcycle with his guns out.

Hallowe'ens pretty good for tangos as well - Ashley, Louis, Georgia and even Victoria Pendleton did pretty good ones on top of the two from Series 12. Hopefully Laura can live up to them this weekend.

Georgia's Halloween Tango was one of my favourite dances last series. Giovanni somehow managed to choreograph an excellent dance to a terrible song.

I love the tango and there are so many I've really liked.
Already mentioned, Jay, Zoe, Kelly, Frankie, Katie, Austin, and Denise.

I would like to add Dani and Vincent's to the list. (In fact almost all Vincent's tangos)
Also Holly and Artemis would have been fantastic without the slight stumbles, brilliant choreography.

I'm sure I'll remember loads more later

Loved Louisa and Vincent's

Along with Rachel and Vincent's (Vincent, tango and the Eurythmics was a good combo)

Also Austin and Erin's and Kara and Artem's (who also did a version of Holly and Artem's tango on their tour, without the mistakes or the Dora the Explorer wig, which I enjoyed).

Looking at old videos makes me miss the days when you could see the couple dancing without having flashing light effects projected all around them while they dodge around a giant prop

I remember last year everyone was agog to see how Ghostbusters was going to work for a Tango (people just assumed it was going to be a disaster) but Giovanni and Georgia went and pulled it out of the bag despite her being dressed in a brown paper bag and the song having been sped up to the speed of light. I think it was the routine that made people start paying attention to her.

Despite not really liking Laura at all I hope Giovanni pulls a similar one this year because Paint it Black is one of my favourite songs in this life and possibly all the others, I love it.

I'm glad someone else loved the campest tango ever on SCD. It shouldn't have worked it so did

Do you people have spooky memories or have you been cheating and rewatching dances?

I think dances just stick your head sometimes and you end up remember them. My memory's patchy - I really liked Helen last year and quite liked Ainsley and yet I could not remember whom Natalie and Ali (I call him that because I can't remember how to spell his ruddy name) and I had to try rack my brains to remember if Brendan danced with Kirsty last year or the year before because I couldn't remember Sunita.

I also forget sportsman's rhumba which were succesful - including Colin Jackson's.

I've loved the tangos of Jay , Rachel Stevens, Louisa Lytton, Louis Smith, Abbey Clancy, Scott Maslen. They all had good music and great choreography.

I too have mixed feelings. Everything Artenm did was very stylish and very creative but I always expected him to turn around to show a sign on his back saying " For all you choreographic needs call Artem on 07xxx xxxxxx"

BIB same happened to me
