Your favourite dances across all the seasons?
Right, now we've just finished season 5 - reflecting on all the years, what have been your favourite dances?
Mine are (I have a lot! Haven't given reasons for them all since we'd be here all day): Season 1. John and Charlotte's quickstep (week 2) John and Charlotte's foxtrot John and Charlotte's waltz (dance off version) I adored this couple. Their ballroom was just so classy and elegant. Joey and Ashly's quickstep Joey and Ashly's jive They weren't perfect but they were fun and I enjoyed watching them dance ![]() Season 2. Drew and Cheryl's paso doble Drew and Cheryl's freestyle Stacy and Tony's rumba Stacy and Tony's jive Stacy and Tony's samba (finals version) I loved watching Stacy and Tony. Her rumba was the first one I enjoyed watching. George and Edyta's rumba I know, I know, but this was really entertaining. It was like a soap opera in dance form. Season 3 Jerry and Kym's samba Jerry and Kym's foxtrot Jerry and Kym's waltz Their foxtrot was the perfect way to bow out of the competition. They weren't the best technically, but they had a lot of fun and a lot of heart. Joey and Edyta's waltz Joey and Edyta's quickstep (both versions) Mario and Karina's waltz Mario and Karina's tango (week 9 version) Mario and Karina's paso doble (finals version) Monique and Louis' cha cha Fun, cheesy, entertaining. Emmitt and Cheryl's cha cha (week 9 version) Emmitt and Cheryl's samba (judge's choice version) I really felt like he came out on stage every single time and just enjoyed the experience. Fun to watch ![]() Season 4 Apolo and Julianne's quickstep (both versions) Apolo and Julianne's samba Apolo and Julianne's paso doble (week 8 version; not as perfect as the finals version but I liked it better) Apolo and Julianne's cha cha (finals version) Joey and Kym's tango Joey and Kym's mambo Joey and Kym's jive (finals version) Joey and Kym's freestyle Season 5 Helio and Julianne's jive (finals version) Helio and Julianne's cha cha (2nd version) Helio and Julianne's quickstep Helio and Julianne's foxtrot Sabrina and Mark's quickstep Sabrina and Mark's cha cha Sabrina and Mark's rumba I loved them. Maybe it's because I was already a Cheetah Girls fan (I know, I know ) or because I like Mark's dancing...I don't know. But I really liked them as a couple.Marie and Jonathan's quickstep (second version) They weren't my favourite couple but I enjoyed this performance. |

I haven't been able to see the first three series so can't comment there.
In series 4, I would go for: Apolo and Julianne's Rumba - the one with the chair. I still maintain that their use of the chair was really clever choreography keeping it between them as a barrier. Their Quickstep in the dark green Samba And definately their Tango - Fast staccato, exciting and to Jessies Girl by Rick Springfield whose music I loved as a teenager. Their Finals Rumba - Julianne in her night clothes, need I say more! ![]() Joey and Kym's Tango. Hated it the first time I saw it (the first time I'd seen props used in the SCD/DWTS format), but grew to really enjoy it. Joey and Kym's Jive season 5 Mel and Maks' Paso M & M's Jive M & M's Tango Julianne and Helio's quickstep - Probably in the top three best dances ever on SCD/DWTS for me, it was just so much fun, so vibrant - Fantastic!!!! I'm sure as I rewatch series 4 and 5, I'll find more but this will do for now. |

I haven't seen the others but from season 4, I loved Apolo and Julianne's Samba and their Quickstep (where she wore the dark green dress), I also loved Joey and Kim's freestyle dance (very razzle-dazzle!
).From season 5, I've loved pretty much all of Mel and Maks' dances but particularly their Viennese Waltz (the 2nd one, those splits! ), their Paso (the 1st one) and their Rumba. I loved Helio and Julianne's Quickstep (YAY Banana Man! ) and their chacha (2nd one, all dressed in red, loved the music). I loved Derek and Jenny's rumba and Sabrina and Mark's Chacha.xx |

Can I sugget you go over to www.raphaelpungin.com. His site is a fantastic reference for all youtube clips for all series of DWTS and SCD. (He also has the polish version0.
Follow the tab/link to Dance and then lookf for the tab for DWTS. He has developed a great dropdown menu system. Use the menu to get to the earlier series - there you will find links to videos and scores. His great site gives you statistics and other background videos. Well worth a look around. |

I haven't seen all the dances I have to admit, I will at some point though! I loved Joey & Kym's Star Wars tango!
And, well, most of Julianne's! I think she's an excellent choreographer. Especially her freesytle with Apolo and Quickstep with Helio.

Picking just one dance from each season I have watched:
Season 2: Drew and Cheryl's freestyle (though almost anything Stacy did, up to her elimination in the finals, is a close second) Season 3: Mario and Karina's tango (2nd version). Season 4: Apollo and Julianne freestyle Season 5: Sabrina and Mark cha-cha. Their chemistry on the dance floor just got me hooked, and changed me from a casual watcher, to a fanatic this season. It amazes me a little that the U.K. producers let Derek and Mark get away. Especially with Derek already having been on TV in the UK. Maybe they just play better to american audiences then they do to U.K. audiences. |

There are loads - more than I can think of right now but a few that haven't been mentioned
Tia and Maks Tango - HOT! ![]() Tia and Maks Foxtrot - absolutely loved the story, just watching her head and neck line felt painful but she could act that part! Drew and Cheryl Jive - great highlights, upbeat Stacy and Tony foxtrot - fab choreography, dreamy Joey and Ashly's cha cha - I've seen tour videos and he looks better dancing this with Julianne but on the original loved his body movement, nice arms, strong performance. Mario and Karina cha cha - his joint best dance with the paso. Surprise, Karina actually gave him steps to dance, great rhythm TBC........ |

One dance I wanted to mention just quickly, as I have been known to be cruel to Edyta in reviews,
I ABSOLUTELY ADORE this Adam's Family Tango with Partner Joey - there's alot of Joey's on DWTS so not sure which one or which season - but think the stylisation is fabulous! ![]() Both carry it off really well. ![]() As there are no comments with it, can anyone remember if the Judge's liked it? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtnmXYPMITY |

Bruno, I'm sure, did the same, but said well done. Carrie-Ann said it was amazing. Ten from Carrie-Ann, nine from Len, nine from Bruno. |
