Since in the olden days it was a dance confined to the semis I thought I'd get people's thoughts on their fav Argentine tangos and because we've got the last American Smooth people's thoughts on those too

I was going to do AS next week along with showdances but I think it'll be a more interesting thread with them. Also kinda of relevant as the first AS's were bought in to the quarter final of series three.

Ironically enough now you can do three lifts in a AS so retrospectively it's a complete non-issue.

I'll always be annoyed the judges didn't pick Caroline's AS as their choice her year after the little slip. Could've been really fantastic.

Also American Smooth: Kimberley and Pasha - who cares if it was mostly out of hold, it was contemporary, very stylish and gorgeous.

Great to revisit these lovely dances

Alesha's AT was so good - the only one I've enjoyed as much as that was Simon & Kristina's.

Agree with Kelly & Brendan's AS - it is such a shame that she had to drop out.

Hard to believe the fuss made about it.

I rewatched the interview on ITT, and Kelly came across fine - not sure why she was lampooned

It was. Considering how good her tango was I think she'd have done a great AT too.

Ooops - I did it again.

Ali's semi-final dance is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-eB67M5KDTI

It's actually lovely to get the chance to see them again too. In a lot of cases I'd forgotten a lot of them too.

Really surprised that everyone seems to have forgotten Mark Ramprakash's AT though is it the new Jill's jive - a tad overplayed and over-rated. I still like it anyway: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvZhbAUk8P0&t=189s

Anyway: Caroline's AS - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWv9RxqutZI
and Kimberley's AS - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pd3p7CvM-BY
