you like Lisa then
I hardly knew who she was at the start of the series.

From about half way through the series I thought she was consistently the best week after week.

Her only poor dance was the showdance, which I should point out was when there was no pressure on and they had just suffered the disapointment of being voted out after 2 perfect scores from the judges.

In no particular order

Cherie & James's rumba
Tom and Camilla's showdance
Austin and Erin's paso
Jodie and Ian's waltz

And.....for entertainment value John and Kristina's paso although it will never eclipse Christopher Parker and Hanna Karttunen's legendary collaboration in my mind

OK, I've struggled with this one as you will see at the end:

1) Tom and Camilla's show dance. I was thrilled to see a ballroom-based show dance. To see one of such verve, wit and charm was just a joy.
2) Tom and Camilla's foxtrot. The first one, with all that lovely sway. Even without the stumble, their foxtrot in the final just didn't quite have the same life in it.
3) Rachel and Vincent's AT. Exquisite. The dance which changed the way I viewed this partnership.
4) Don and Lilia's tango. It has been a good year for tangos, but this one was the most emotional one for me, and thus the most memorable.
5) Austin and Erin's jive/Christine and Matthew's foxtrot. Sorry, I really can't choose between them as I love them for the same reasons - two early dances that I was expecting to be anything from dreadful to dull that ended up taking my breath away with delight. Both displayed two thoroughly engaging partnerships and demonstrated the skills of the professionals as teachers.

Honourable mentions: Again, two as I can't choose between them. Jodie and Ian's quick step (those high kicks were a joy to watch) and Christine and Matthew's jive for its sheer enthusiasm.

(NB: I have just realised how alliterative this post is. I am not getting an attack of the Arlenes - I have been reading Simon Armitage's translation of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and it seems to have affected my writing somewhat.... )

1.) Can't choose so it's a tie for first place

Rachel and Vincent's Argentine Tango and Ballroom Tango - now my two favourite
dances of any series by a bloody parsec.

2.) Rachel and Vincent's Salsa - great first dance

3.) Tom and Camilla's Quickstep - surprised it worked well with 'A Town Called Malice'

4.) Tom and Camilla's Foxtrot - quarter-final - routine/song blended perfectly

5.) Rachel and Vincent's Rumba - as Rumbas go, probably the best of any series.

Rachel and Vincent's AT
Rachel and Vincent's Tango
Austin and Erin's Tango
Rachel and Vincent's AS (QS one)
Tom and Camilla's foxtrot/showdance (can't decide!!)

I also loved Don and Lilia's Tango, and although I don't much like the rumba- Rachel and Vincent's was very good! Austin and Erin's jive was fab too....
