The dances that were (in your opinion) really great but are overlooked for one reason or another.

My first one is Will and Hanna's foxtrot from series 3, I thought it was gorgeous one of the best foxtrots on strictly. What made him great at ballroom was his top line plus he really lead his partner (the only other male celeb that also did this was Matt Dawson IMO). It's such a shame they did their tango to Pretty Woman *shudders at the memory*

Aled's Jive I really liked, it got overshadowed due to it being the week of Jill Jive.

Yes! That was a great jive wasnt it!

I also think a lot of Jills other dances get forgotten because of 'the jive' -such as her chacha, paso and samba.

Aleds cha cha, Denise's Tango and Paso -all the days of SCD2!

that dance quentin wilson did where one of the judges said it looked like he was trying to start a motorbike.

i think the first series was definitely the best.

Yeah that was another one I was going to mention. Probably the best male jive in strictly (only Matt's this year matches it). It just got overlooked because of Jill's really didn't it.

I agree about Will and Hanna. Loved those two and the foxtrot was lovely. Also really liked Jill's Cha-Cha.

Yeah you're right about Aled's jive, it was and still is the best male celebrity jive in Strictly history because of his score of 32, and also another dance that I think people have forgotten about is Aled's Paso Doble because it was absolutely amazing!!! And I loved it

So many... but Matt Dawson's American Smooth for me was gorgeous, Natasha Kaplinsky's Samba, Darren Gough's Tango, were all brilliant.

Ooh yes that was gorgeous, so romantic, Camilla always seems to choreograph fantastic VW's, the one she did with Ray was fantastic too.
