Sure this has been asked before, but what is your favourite pro group dance in Strictly history? Mine is the group jive in 2007 to Rebel Yell. I think Matthew Cutler choreographed it......brilliant! Still love watching it now

Hard question, there are so many I have loved and watched multiple times. I love that jive in the original post.

I also love this jive here: https://youtu.be/AZnKjyMQdf4

And this cha cha... So sexy! Love it. Can you imagine them doing something like this now?? https://youtu.be/5n_GY3GO_T4

But there's loads I have loved... I could go on and on.

I agree. All these years on and it's still magical. I was lucky enough to be in the audience that night and that pro dance is a treasured memory. It was stunning.

Ooh yes, that jive is great too, similar vibe to the one I mentioned. No gimmicks or props, just great dancing from a classic pro line up!

Loved that Jive

Also loved that one where Erin and Anton and Vincent and Flavia did a funny and absolutely beautiful ballroom.

If anyone knows the one I mean.

Looking at these, and watching Erin and Matt, I just feel so damned SAD.

These are thrilling and they show you what the dance HAS and can be.

I honestly am more and more BORED by Strictly now, and I was so so passionate about it.

There was a routine where Matthew Cutler and Aliona danced to Love Sex and Magic, it was awesome. Would love to see it again.

Yep definitely another one I've watched many times! I'm obsessed with the way Matt Cutler uses his arms, amazing lines. And again... I can't imagine anything like this ever being on strictly now.

Still, you gotta smile.

Great jive technique, too - not that I'm any sort of expert, like.

That's still my favourite after all these years, no gimmicks, no stupid themes and no flipping props just fantastic dancers dancing an exciting and well choreographed routine.

I also really like the Jive they did to "Tell Her About It", think it was 2005.

Less really is more imo.

I'd certainly like to see more of the newer pros showcased like this.

There's also a Remembrance Day Jive where the guys were all in uniform but I can't blooming find it right now.

I'm not far behind you. You'd think that in these uncertain times, the Beeb would have the naus to back pedal slightly and reintroduce a bit of nostalgia - which IMO was in large part responsible for the show's success in the first place. It's not too late for them to screw their heads back on the right way round and introduce a somewhat more 'faded glory' gloss to the show instead of the lairy, garish RTV chunder they've served up for the last 2 or 3 years.

Ever hopeful, moi.

I really liked this Paso Doble from a great line up that included Matthew and Nicole, James and Ola, Vincent and Flavia and Ian and Camilla.

I loved the Sweet Dreams dance; Janette, Aljaz, and Kristina were all fantastic in it.

I can't view your link though Is this it: Sweet Dreams Pro Dance?
