Definitely Mark and Karen, but Flav's choreography gets a special mention.
EDIT: Just realised, not many of the professionals choreograph Salsa, right? |

Matt and Flavias would be a clear winner for me.
I also liked Mark and Karens but didn't rate Tom and Camillas at all. |

Loved Mark and Karen's the best; but I also rate Gethin and Camilla's Salsa and also Austin and Erin's Salsa as well. Loved those two as well.

I liked all three of them- Mark's definitely had the best atmosphere, preferred the choreography in Matt's (not the shimmying though
), and liked the routine of Tom's but found his performance a bit camp at times.

Mark and Karen's, Matt and Flavia's and Gethin & Camilla's are by far the best Salsa's we've seen on SCD. I liked Alesha's too but it lacked the spark that the 3 above had. Also liked John Barnes' but it didn't deserve a 10! Ditto Tom and Camilla's!

My all time favourite Salsa has to be Matt & Flavia's but Mark and Karen's comes a very close second.

My favourite salsa ever on Strictly is still John and Nicole.
Of the three in the final Ramps and Tom's were both amazing but Ramps is slightly ahead. Don't like Matt D's it was technically good but a bit dull, his dancing reminds me of Rachel's. For whoever asked about Gethin's it got 35 when he did it. |

Snap Jill, my favourite is John and Nicole's too.
Of the one's given, Tom's is by far my favourite, followed a long way back by Mark's. I didn't like Matt's at all - still don't get that daft shoulder shimmy thing he did!! |

I like all three of the Salsa's
. Mark's may have been a little better than Matt's or Tom's, but all three are still enjoyable to watch.I also like Gethin and Camilla's .

Mark and Karen for me. Virtually impossible to watch without smiling, in the same way it takes a massive effort not to chew a fruit pastille without thinking!

i loved all 3.
If i had to pick one it would be Marks because i didnt really expect him to come out with something so good but i think all three couples did fantastic salsas. |

Of those.... mmmm, I reckon I preferred John's, despite the shoulder thing. |

I have seen if not you , then someone else post this before .
All, as I understand it were choreographed or at the least , supervised , by the world salsa champions , Chris Marques and Jaclyn Spencer, so I won't argue with their credentials. Mark and Karen's for me ;though there have been a number of highly entertaining and enjoyable salsas on SCD |

Mark and Karen - no question about it.
He was the first male celeb to 'get' the spirit of Latin dancing imho and his enthusiasm shone through in the salsa!

Mark was very good, but for me the legend of the dance is partly down to the mic cord rather than purely about the quality of the dance. Also, and I expect to be attacked for this, but I've always considered Mark to be overrated. I think this is partly down to my preference for ballroom in which wasn't his strongest suit, but I just don't see what others see in him. Sorry!
![]() Tom was good, but not quite in the class of the other two, so Matt and Flavia's is my favourite Salsa. I think it was the most technically difficult Salsa we've ever seen on Strictly and the best Matt ever performed. |

Tom's did nothing for me. It's very close between Mark and Matt, but I think I would have to go for Matt's because of the choreography (extremely complex) and the atmosphere of the dance having seen it live.
