Best Dances?
So out of all the latin and ballroom which couples dances did you love?
Quickstep: Jive: Paso Doble: Foxtrot: V.Waltz: Waltz: American Smooth: Rhumba: Samba: Salsa: Cha cha cha: Tango: if i've missed any just add it onto yours and also i know some couples haven't done some of the dances but so far which couples did the best in each category. |

Quickstep: Like it, fun and bubbly with a good tempo and interesting steps.
Jive: With great choreography, it is always a joy to watch. Paso Doble: One of my fav of the latin dances; real drama and passion. Love the costumes as well. ![]() Foxtrot: Don't like it, too slow there's nothing in it that makes it stand out as an memorable ballroom dance for me. V.Waltz: Hated it to begin with, but after Ray and Camilla's and Mark and Karen's fell in love with it. Quite a charming and romantic dance when coupled with the right music. ![]() Waltz: Not really a fan, again depends on the choreography; has to be good in order to make it shine. Loved Matt and Lilia's simply sublime. American Smooth: Hate it, its stange will never like it, no matter who is dancing and the addition of lifts is distracting and affects the flow of the dance. Rhumba: Posey and cringey, very hard to pull off. Samba: Like it not as much as Salsa though. ![]() Salsa: Love it, especially Mark and Karen's. Lively, exciting, showing the joy of dancing it has to make me wanna get up and dance. ![]() Cha cha cha: Cute dance, like the hip action involved. Tango: Dramatic, moody, good footwork with sharp head turns = Proper Tango imo. Last edited by Coronis : 03-12-2006 at 16:38. |

Quickstep: Matt and Lilia, Emma and Darren
Jive: Louisa and Vincent (looking forward to Mark's tho) Paso Doble: Mark and Karen, Louisa and Vincent Foxtrot: Carol and Matthew V.Waltz: Carol and Matthew, Ray and Camillia Waltz: Matt and Lilia American Smooth: none of them really stood out for me... Matt and Claire's was good but paled in comparison to the ones from last year Rhumba: Claire and Brendan (purely because all the others have been a bit rubbish! )Samba: Mark and Karen (technically dodgy in some places but the only samba this year that really pulled off the 'party feeling'), Emma and Darren Salsa: Mark and Karen! Cha cha cha: Mark and Karen... had a soft spot for Carol's too Tango: Louisa and Vincent, Peter and Erin Last edited by Jocko Homo : 03-12-2006 at 16:52. |

Quickstep: Matt and Lilia
Jive: None, look forward to Mark's Paso Doble: Mark and karen Foxtrot: none V.Waltz: Mark and Karen Waltz: Matt and Lilia American Smooth: None Rhumba: None, though Mark's technically very good, Matt and Lilia had excellent choreography, esp in closing. Samba: Mark and Karen, no contest. Salsa: Mark and Karen, absolutely no contest. Cha cha cha: Mark and Karen. Tango: Only remember Mark and Karen's but probably for the odd music choice. Enjoyed Vincent and Louisa's in parts. |

Really don't get the Rhumba nobody seems to nail it at all. I also find the Foxtrot hard to get sometimes.
I love the quickstep, VW AS and waltz but don't understand "the story" aspect I never see any story in it - just a nicely executed dance. |
