    Here in 2022 and I still say this is the best professional jive dance ever!

      Here I am at the end of 2023 and I've made a special effort to find this particular dance because I love it so much. Routine was simply sublime. Love (and miss!) every single one of them. What a routine!

    @granma62 Před rokem +70

    The professional dancers were absolutely superb and I remember all their names as they were proper stars 🌟 The professionals now are good and probably have more variety, but I doubt I'll remember them all in ten years or so. I adore this group jive 💞

  • @themadthatter
    @themadthatter Před 5 lety +226

    So wish they still did dances like this. I don't mind some of the themed ones, but I wish they'd do some proper, no bells and whistles ones occasionally. We never get to see actual jives or quicksteps or tangos anymore - it always has to be a Latin hybrid.

      I agree. I miss strictly being an actual DANCE competition with the proper outfits. Now it's just an entertainment programme. When we had the old format it made the theme weeks that more special and appreciated. I used to look forward to them, now it's basically another week.

    • @ireneskidmore8755

  • @margaretbarrett8309
    @margaretbarrett8309 Před 7 lety +87

    This is my favourite pro dance in strictly. Everyone is giving it their all, and they are all proper ballroom dancers, unlike now, when the influence is far too much back row of the chorus in a show at the end of a pier somewhere.
    The glory days of strictly are long past, unfortunately, but this always cheers me up when I view it online

      +mccarraa
      I agree. What I love about this is the way that every couple is given their own bit to do and no one hogs the spotlight . I think Nicole Cutler actually chereographed this - that poor lady never got her due on the show. It's also pretty astonishing the speed at which her legs move such a shame she never got a good enough partner to show what she could actually do.

    Masterful, commanding performance. This is my best dance of strictly of all times. It is a beautiful unfolding story line and the music by Billy idol is his best ever. Everytime I watch it, I get goose bumps. I love all the dancers and miss the ones that are absent like Nicole. Brendan's entrance was spectacular.
    Love it, love it, love it. It's a five ***** performance.
