For me I think it was Louisa's and Vincents Jive last year I thought it was fantastic, and this year Alesha and Matthew's waltz.

No contest - Mark and Karen's AT. And second? Alesha and Matt's Waltz. Both goosebumpy for different reasons - and I don't know what I'm looking at!

Mark & Karen's A&T followed closely by their Salsa
From this year Gethin & Camilla's Waltz, he really led her rather than just follow the pro dancer and he looked gorgeous

Mark & Karen's Argentine Tango!

Jill and Darren's Jive (predictable, I know)

and

Colin and Erin's American Smooth

Jill and Darren's jive
Zoe and Ian's tango
Aled and Lilia's samba
Colin and Erin's quickstep

There have been a clutch of dances by Alesha and Matthew this year I've loved, but I might plump for their rumba - made me feel like I finally got what the rumba is all about!

Colin and Erin's Christmas Quickstep

Random but i loved this dance. Alesha's Salsa

1. Maren's AT & Alesha and Matt's Salsa
2. Alesha's Jive
3. Maren's Salsa & Samba ( Both equally Amazing)

Mark and Karen's AT!

1. Natasha & Brendan's Walz in the Christmas Special...... watch and learn Di Angelo

2. Colin & Erin's American Smooth

3. Mark & Karen's AT

This series - Matt & Alesha's QS

..... I think I must be the only person on the planet who hated Jill & Darren's Jive - technically brilliant but... meh :yawn:

This series i think i'll got for Alesha and Matts quickstep or their VW. Although i did like MAtt and Flavias salsa too.

Last series Mark and Karens AT or Louisa and Vincents jive.

And yep i agree about zoes tango being fab too.

I did love Jills jive at the time but now im getting a bit sick of it as i am Marks salsa...

Colin and Erins american smooth

Does the male pros/Girls Aloud routine count as "dance"

Mark & Karen's AT
Jill and Darrens's Paso Doble
Alesha and Matthew's Tango

Matt and Lilia' s American Smooth.

*cracks up*

Can I nominate "Matthew C training for Girls Aloud routine"????

1. Mark and Karen's AT ... the first time it was a marked dance (so difficult to do and to capture the audience) and in has been IMO forgotten by the BBC, instead they tend to show their salsa...I was totally memorised by it..also for Karen's reaction when they got the three tens. Goose bump time!!

2. Alesha and Matthew's Waltz... The best dance of this series by a big margin...everything about the dance was perfect even Arlene was 'transported way' by it. Goose bump time!!

3. Zoe and Ian's Tango...Zoe was SO elegant and she and Ian were so suited to each other another dance where we were told a story.

mark and Karens at

It's kinda random and was their worst dance score-wise, but I really love watching Ian and Zoe's jive! It just makes me sooo hyper and giggly and I don't really know why. Also their tango and their showdance as well.

Of the pro dances, I lurved Ian and Camilla dancing to McFly simply because how can you not love five extremely hot guys all in one performance?

It's not one of the more 'famous ones', or the most highly marked, but I loved Vincent and Louisa's paso last year. I liked the song, Anastasia's Left Outside Alone, and I thought Louisa's timing was perfect. Jill's jive is obviously very graceful and beautiful, too.

Jill's Jive, it will take something outstanding to beat that.

From this series my favourites have been Alesha's Vienesse Waltz and Jive, and Gethin's Salsa.

Hear hear, still more than a year on and it still just blows me away. They just totally embodied the two characters, captured the mood of the dance, everything just went POW! No disrespect to the ATs of this series, but they weren't a patch on this dance.. If a dance leaves you with your mouth open, on your feet, clapping and reaching for your telephone I think you have found your favourite!

However, closely following this are Gethin's and Alesha's waltzes. Truly, truly beautiful. IMO much more worthy of a perfect 40

AND I AM STILL INCENSED TO THIS VERY DAY THAT THE MAREN AT DID NOT GET A PERFECT 40!!!!!

Mark and Karen's Argentine Tango - sensual, passionate and moody, and IMO a dance that should have been awarded a perfect 40.

In no paritcular order ...

Jill and Darren's Jive (wasn't supporting her at the time either!)
Zoe and Ian's Freestyle
Mark and Karen's Salsa
Colin and Erin's Quickstep

Karen and Mark Showdance, Karen and Mark VW, Karen and Mark Salsa, Karen and Mark AT
All of Karen and Mark's dances!!

(sorry MASSIVE Karen fan am very biast)
