Oti is just queen of the samba ... hers and Kelvin Fletchers was impressive for a first week
alyssa bennett, and Oti's and Danny's Cha Cha Cha was impressive for the first week - or for any week, really. Clearly Oti should have been at least a Two-Time winner on Strictly already. And her work in The Greatest Dancer finals both last year and this one AND the fact that she's in the Guinness Book of World Records AND that she won an award for choreography on a Musical prove that Oti is a genius and a force of nature.
Agreed
Oti is the reason I watch strictly
@@elisawaymer8444 guess what? She won!!!!! Again!!!!! Yay!!!!!!! 👏 👏 👏
@@kimkelvin-kalu4738 Same here!! She is so incredible to watch!
Danny and Oti were robbed of the glitter ball. They were amazing together ❤️
CNJ482868 to this day, I’m still gutted they didn’t win!
Dominic Wileman he said that he barely scraped through that degree and trust me musical theatre dancing is not even nearly similar to Latin and ballroom. There is no super specific technique and it’s not that hard.
yes that.s right
Victoria Alfieris so, still had a massive head start on everyone else. Very very happy he didn’t win
zahinster he did not have a massive head start. Louise has wayyyyy more dance experience than him. Musical theatre dancing is nothing special and clearly he wasn’t that good at it so that just goes to show that Oti is an amazing teacher
I'm still mad Danny and oti didn't win
You are not the only one who thinks they were robbed
Same
Plus he's fit as fuck 😍
To be fair on the night Ore did dance better than him but as a whole throughout the series he was better
@@amystar2357 my favourite male dancers ever are Tom Chambers, Jay Mcguinness, harry judd from mcfly and Ricky whittle who came second to Chris hollins, he should of won it
What about Giovanni and Faye Toser’s theatre jazz - one of the best dances ever
tonie hewitt yeah and their Charleston
Agreed! Loved their theatre jazz
That dance was fantastic
OMFG I lOvEd that dance
Sorry but Faye was a trained dancer
Oti and Dannys American smooth is one of my favorites.
Sara Nissen same. It was stunning. I can’t believe Darcy gave it a 9
Victoria Alfieris I’m still fuming about that and it was years ago ahaha
Sara Nissen, You're right. That is a wonderful dance. The storytelling, emotion, skill in execution. Danny looked like Gene Kelly - only more handsome and emotive.
Danny & Oti’s Samba should have single-handedly won them that glitterball. That’s not even considering the rest of their dances.
At least Danny and Oti got a number one slot in this chart! They should’ve won that year
They shouldn't
@Miss Thinker because Danny could already dance people like to see their winners learn on their way so that's why the likes of Joe, Ore and Stacey won
Sophie Allen, So true. Danny and Oti worked so hard and they were geniuses on the dance floor. Oti's choreo is fantastic.
@@esmervbruce7172 , During that very same series Louise had MUCH more dance training than Danny who'd concentrated in DRAMA in stage school and had only a smattering of dance training there over a DECADE BEFORE his stint on STRICTLY! But no one harped on Louise And all that blather about the "West End" made no sense, either. As a CHILD Danny played GAVROCHE who is playground savvy -NOT dance savvy. And Danny was an UNDERSTUDY for Into the Woods where he didn't really dance, either. It was Oti's genius- level choreography and motivational skills and hard work and Danny's own hard work and artist's soul that led to such great performances. Btw, Jay had MUCH more formal dance training than Danny and JAY WON! What was done to Danny over his mere smidgen of dance training compared to many other contestants was terribly unfair. Why the double-standard?
Danny and oti's samba has got to be my favourite strictly dance of all time, but to be honest as a pairing I loved them, they were fantastic
How none of Kara and Artem's dances got onto this list is beyond me. But Danny and Oti's samba definitely deserved the number one spot
I was thinking the same about Kara and Artem. I have always loved their rumba!
I was thinking about their rumba too! Totally agree about Danny and Oti tho
@@MoMacfieXx artem best dancer ever on strictly where was he ??????
@@maximuslondon their Rumba was PERFECTION
Two things...
1. Danny Mac ABSOLUTELY should have won, I'm still annoyed.
2. Sorry, Aliona and Jay at number 8... are you mad?
Same girl same
I also felt Alexandra and Alesha's dances should have been higher.
Saaaaame
loveyouandthem I was livid when Danny didn’t win
Danny could already dance and people want their champ to learn on their way like Stacey did
Jay and Aliona did NOT reprise the jive for the final. Their score for the jive was only ever what was awarded originally, it was never awarded a 39 in the fnal. Your research is lacking
Linzi Rainbow lol your completely right
I think the jive was reprise the following season of SCD, right?
@@nelleo2507Yes, previous years winners always do a routine in front of the new cast but are not scored by the judges.
Came here to say the same thing!
Yep. It's almost as if WatchMojo is sometimes sloppily researched... But still- nice to see a few clips again.
I agree hands down with Danny & Oti's Samba being top of this list. I just love how they both dance with such abandon and their synchronicity is masterful. Very sexy as well, they have fantastic chemistry together. Amazing routine!
The lack of Mark Ramprakash’s Salsa is unforgivable
loved that dance. mark can certainly move!
Right?!!! Iconic Strictly dance!
Bertie Wooles agree. I was waiting for it at the number one slot. To not even have it in the honourable mentions bit is astonishing
Bertie Wooles it wasnt one of the “greatest”!!!!
I was literally waiting for mark the whole time
So glad Oti and Danny are the top pick here. Their tango, Charleston and jive were also brilliant - they could easily have taken the top four places. Jay and Aliona’s jive should have been higher.
Danny and Oti should have won.
Yep. They sure should have.
Yes they should have won I love oti
Kara and Artem’s rhumba is one of the most beautiful dances I’ve ever seen!!
Saw Danny on west end stage in Pretty Woman , perfect casting, he was excellent
Whoever made this list has never watched Strictly
@GALMA 0 exactly he did his paso lol
Jay and Aliona 'best dance ever' to quote Bruno. Voted best danace ever by readers of Radio Times, most viewer Strictly dance on TH-cam and constantly tops whatever poll it is placed in. Jay is probably the most beloved contestant on there (again recently voted so) and most of his and Aliona's dances were better than many on here but number 8 for their jive, seriously? Number 1 for me, closely followed by Danny and Oti's Samba, which is another wow moment for me.
Great choice for# 1! Oti's choreography is genius-level. And Danny and she set the dance floor on FIRE with their brilliant dancing. Primal profundity was at the core of every move.
That samba was amazing, for a dance that normally ends up being cheesy that was insane, still can't believe they didn't win. Jay's jive is still number 1 for me, he made it look so cool and effortless.
Jay and Aliona's jive is my single favourite strictly dance of all time and for it to not even be top 3 on here is criminal! I'm still pissed to this day it didn't get the 10s it deserved
Vicky Cogrove, Jay's & Aliona's Jive is great. And take a look at brave Danny Mac's & genius Oti's Jive. Danny embodies the sheer energy of Jive by doing TWO splits in quick succession on the floor & yet ANOTHER split in mid air after LEAPING off of a TABLE over Oti's HEAD whilst doing the requisite kicks & flicks during the dance! Jays & Aliona's Jive is smooth & skillful. Danny's & Oti's is on a different plane. It's transcendent it's so courageous.
Couldn't agree more the only judge with any sense was bruno.. That jive was hands down the most exciting and memorable dance for me even to this day
what? no Kara and Artem? that rumba was amazing.
tazzie2shoos absolutely agree, best Rhumba ever on SCD for me. She danced like a professional
EXCACTLY
How on EARTH is Aliona & Jay’s Jive not number one?! It just is the best!
Not quite honey. Ore and Jo proved that. Personally I never could stand a bloke with a man bun
Fandom Central, Aliona's and Jay's jive is excellent, but for me the jive is all about energy and so my fave Jive ever on Strictly is that of Danny Mac and Oti Mabuse. Oti choreographs a high energy lightning bolt that has Danny do TWO splits and Leap off of a table whilst in-between doing the requisite kicks and flicks. Awe-inspiring!
it only got 37
How you can even compare ore with Jay get out of here.... his was and still is the best jive ever!!!!! And Danny mac was robbed that year
Imo it's not even the best dance aliona made its Harry's imo
Jay and Aliona's jive will forever be the dance that stunned the uk. Danny's samba may be good but the shock factor and the authenticity of the reaction that jive got that night, still get chills remembering it. They should have been first and the quickstep by Harry should have been third.
Absolutely insane that chris hollins got a mention, especially when sooo many are missing! Simon and Kristina's argentine tango should be here 100%!!!
When I hear Strictly Argentine Tango I think Mark Ramprakash and Karen Hardy.
Such a shame that Mark & Karen never even got a mention..
Thhhhhhannkkkk youuuuuuuu 🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿
Coins Crayon, Take a good look at Oti's and Danny's Argentine Tango. It is on another level altogether. Nothing else compares. Seriously.
Argentine M ramprakash
How is Ashley’s contemporary, jive & Charleston not on here?
cause she already knew how to dance
GREG G if she had too much experience then they wouldn’t have asked her to do it. Yeah she knew how to dance but in a completely different style, she didn’t know how to Latin and ballroom dance did she?
@@mimikabir6592 sorry u think what u think, I think what I do it's just my opinion and that's why she didn't win
GREG G she didn’t win bc the public love a journey from non dancer to dancer. I’m not saying in anyway that ashley didn’t have dance experience bc she most definitely did but it wasn’t ballroom or latin & so many other past contestant have had dance experience but none of them had been called out abt it as much as Ashley had xx
Where's Ashley & Pashas contemporary? and there Jive/Salsa they both deserve to be in there
Yeah ashleys comtempary deserved to be mentioned
Their Jive should have been in the list, true!
How is Ashley Roberts, Faye Tozer & Georgia May Foote not on here?
Chillcake Von Chill I don’t seem to remember the pussycat dolls dancing Latin and ballroom & Faye also had previous dance experience & they were both given trickier routines bc of it.
sacre I VERY MUCH AGREE!!!!!!
@@mimikabir6592 literally videos of her doing ballroom and latin online.
alisha v literally one video
Mimi Xx one more than the others had, she was literally taught ballroom and Latin before she was on the show.
So happy Danny and Oti we're put as no.1 here. Good to know it was rated highly for the talent and not just Danny's good looks!
...having said that, wow.
Louis and Aliona was fantastic, so was Jay and Aliona, but loved Louis and Flavia their showdance was amazing.
Harry Judd's quick step was by far the best dance!!
I agree the best quickstep in the history of the damn show. Extremely underrated it was perfect. Most of Aliona's choreography usually is, the fact that the holy jive was placed 8th was criminal.
Oti is my favourite addition to refresh British TV ever 💯She's beyond inspirational, her talent is just incredible She was such a breath of fresh air on that show 💯 Hope she comes back 💯
oh my GOD where is faye’s performance of fever!!! it was beyond incredible
Can we not forget Scott Mills dressed as a crab please.
🦀
Can’t believe Georgia and Giovanni’s Charleston isn’t on here. All of their dances were outstanding. This list is so wrong.
multifandomxedits Craig offered her a place on his west end shows how it’s not no 1 idk
Am so glad that Jill and Darren's jive made the top 5 💖 Am gutted about the lack of Karen and Mark's salsa and Tom and Camilla's showdance. Alongside Danny and Oti's samba they're my favourites 💖💖💖
Totally agree about Tom and Camillas show dance, that was amazing as totally different for any other's back then too!
Tom and Camilla’s show dance to If They Could See Me Now from Sweet Charity was my absolute favourite.
Also Louis Smith’s Charleston as well as his show dance, because I felt that was the week that he really came out of his shell and showed his personality.
And of course Jay and Aliona’s jive was just exquisite!
Dev and Dianne’s Aladdin routine from this series is up there as one of my favourites as well now too!
Oh and Ore Oduba and Joanne’s American Smooth to Singin’ in the Rain. It was so simple but beautifully executed. Just classy and tasteful.
Jake and Janette's Salsa should've at least been an honourable mention.
That and their dance to the Macarena (the samba I think)
Thinking the same thing people talk about the salsa till this day
I don't know who came up with this list but half of these dances I don't even remember. Danny mac deserves more, alexandra Burke and gorkas paso was just incredible my favourite paso, Mark and Karen seriously their dance was iconic!
How is not an Ashley Roberts performance not on this list. Her show dance, American smooth or jive were incredible!!!!
Abzi Zab honestly so many of her dances could have made this list 😂
Missing Mark Ramprakash's Salsa, Kara Tointon's Rumba, Sophie Ellis-Bextor's Charleston, Georgia May Foote's Charleston and Ashley Roberts' Contemporary, Jive, American Smooth, Salsa and Showdance.
Jay and Aliona no 1 no contest
Danny Mac and Oti were robbed! They deserved to win.
Dolores DeMercado, You're right. Danny Mac and Oti should have won.
That Samba, won strictly, (IMO). Best dance EVER!
Before watching: Jill Halfpenny’s Jive, Danny Mac’s Samba, Chris Hollins’ Charleston, and Mark Ramprakash’s Salsa should be in here.
Add Tom Chamber's show dance.
Jay’s jive should be on this list 10 times.
It was it was number 8
Why did he dance it 10 times? What a ridiculous statement
Len had it in for him that year, hence why he made that dumb comment the following year about ore producing the best jive in strictly history because he knew everyone loved Jay's one the year before that
Vicky The Toy Hoarder, Have you seen Danny's Jive? Like no other, Danny embodies the energetic spirit of the Jive. Danny does TWO splits in quick succession on the floor and another split In the Air over Oti's head whilst Leaping off of a table - having done all the requisite kicks and flicks in between. Awesome. Just. Awesome.
Susanna Reid and Kevin Clifton's paso doble is my favourite of all time - and Karen Hardy and Mark Ramprakash's salsa should be in there too.
Definitely agree with number 1. Danny Mac should have won it that year. But I can't believe Kara and Artems rumba wasn't considered in this list. Shocking!
ok but how was faye not on there?? everyone of her dances were insane!!
Yup! Her Viennese Waltz, Charleston, Theatre Jazz and Showdance!
Can’t believe Tom and Camillas showdance isn’t in this list ... it defines an indeed showdance!
Jay and Aliona should really be way higher on that list. I would have definitely had Ore and Joanne’s American Smooth, Mark Ramprakash’s Samba and Stacey and Kevin’s Tango on there. Plus Joe and Katya’s Argentine Tango and Tom and Camilla’s Showdance were worth an honourable mention!
Mark Ramprakash and Karen Hardy's Argentine Tango should have been on this list, as should have Debbie and Giovanni's.
A bit sad Ore and Joanne's dance to singing in the rain didn't make it to the list, but Danny and Oti totally deserve that number 1 spot.
Jay and Aliona should have 100% been No1 It's the first dance I think of when I think of Strictly and the most viewed dance in Strictly history
No. It's 100% correct that Oti and Danny were No1. It's the first dance I think of when I think of strictly. See, that's my opinion and I'm sure everyone else has their own favourite. Different strokes for different folks :)
Emma Canning, Danny and Oti deserve the top spot for their Samba. And even Danny's and Oti's Jive, to me, better embodies the energy and spirit of Jive than Jay's and Aliona's - even though theirs is wonderful, too. But genius Oti and brilliant, brave Danny deliver something truly transcendent as Danny does TWO splits in quick succession and does another split in the air after Leaping off a table ( and over Oti's HEAD) with all the requisite kicks and flicks, as well!
Jay did not do his Jive again in the final. Controversially, they chose the Paso Doble. His Jive scored 37, getting 9s from Craig, Darcey, and Len.
After just 6 weeks 2019 has seen a couple of dances that could easily figure in this top 10. Jill Halfpennys jive was rhe performance that really put Strictly on the map however, ratings soared after this and have remained consistently high ever since.
Jay on 8?? No way. In my top 3! Plus, they did not reprise in the final. They reprised the year after in the opening of the next season. I am missing Ashley & Pasha’s halloween dance, a charleston I believe. Ore & Joanne’s American Smooth to Singing in the rain? Alliona & Matt Baker? And why did you leave out Stacey Dooley’s Paso?
Damn...there are so many more that rocked my boat. Make it a top 25.
Danny Mac’s salsa was so hot
This show lost a lot when Flavia, Aliona and Vincente left.
and Artem
Aliona and Flavia were my faves :(
My first thought when it comes to Argentine Tango is Mark Ramprakash and Karen Hardy. With regard to Rachel and Vincent, I’ll always think of their Rumba first. Tom Chambers and Camilla Dallerup’s showdance iconic.
Danny and Oti’s Samba cemented Oti as my favourite pro since Lilia Kopylova left.
Of course Danny was going to be at the top- no one has been as talented!
The jive , Charleston and sambas are very popular dances , I love the fast dances 👍🏻
Brendan and Natasha were the OGs that were electric!
Jay and aliona are the best ever
Susannah Reid’s paso doble was my all time favourite dance!!!!!
joe and dianne with their quick step
and dianne and dev with the aladdin street dance
Anita and Gleb's paso is so underrated
You could of filled the list entirely with Danny Mac and it would have been more accurate.
Misty blue, that LEAP?!?!?
rubbish....
The comment made me laugh!!! But it's not that far from the truth :)
@@aaronwilkins1843 , He's right. Go back and watch Danny's brilliant dances with genius Oti. That Jive during which Danny does TWO splits and LEAPS off of table over Oti's head embodies the energy of the Jive more than any other celeb's Jive has done on Strictly. You can even watch Danny's very FIRST dance with Oti, their wonderful cha cha that Danny had trouble with during training and begged Oti to make simple. She didn't. Thank Goodness. Their Paso, Their Viennese Waltz, Their fantastic Quick-Step in week 6 or 7 , I believe, Their Tango with a Group. ALL their dances-save ONE, were Awe-Inspiring You should watch their interviews on the show, It Takes Two, from the very first week all the way through for insight on background and what was really going on.
@@RozaMariaMavromati , I heartily concur. Danny Mac and Oti Mabusi are fantastic, awe-inducing , amazingly hard-working, creative geniuses nearly every single week.
2 years on and some of my favourite dances are still on this list. Rachel and Vincent's Argentine Tango remains one of my most favourites even after all this time. I'd have had Abby Clancy on here (her jive was a huge surprise and all her ballroom was beautiful).
I forgot about all these professionals!! Love them so much!!
Tom Chambers show dance... not even top 10???
Was hoping I wouldn't be the only one to remember that. Still the best show dance to date.
100% yes
I remember that dance too - one of the standouts. Also the year it was discovered Tom Chambers Couldn't win , no matter how many viewer votes he got. They then changed the voting system. Have never trusted the system on that show since.
@@sharonm6376 I don't understand, he did win? I was only about 8 or 9 at the time so I don't remember the old system :/
@@orlyb1310 The difference between the judges scores and the viewer scores was weighted in some way, meaning that Tom Chambers could not win, regardless of how many viewer votes he got. This hit the press and the BBC changed the system to give Tom Chambers a chance - he won.
As for the current system, they never release viewer vote numbers so - still secret squirrel stuff!
Dany and Otis Showdance was amazing too!!
Danny and Oti were undoubtedly the best.
I can not stop watching oti and bill
RIP Caroline 🦋
Number #1 is definitely #1. Just perfect!
Oti's hips are amazing!!!!
excuse me jay and aliona at 8 seriously?
My top will always be Jill halfpenny and Darren Bennett’s jive
Me too!!!
They got Jay and Aliona’s information incorrect. When they did the jive they got 37 (Bruno was the only judge to give 10). They never did the performance again instead preferring to perform their Paso Doble (where they got 39) in the final.
Amazing to watch all those fabulous dances again
Wait , Jay and Aliona didn’t ‘reprise’ this routine in the finals,they should have, 😩😂 but they didn’t and only got 37, although I reckon it was a 40. I love them so much !
Where is Joe & Katya's Argentine Tango? That's an iconic Strictly dance for me - and also Jay's Jive scored 37 in Week 3 not 39, and they didn't perform it in the final at all
I feel in a few years we will look back at this current years dances (I’m thinking Kelvin and Oti’s Charleston or Karim and Amy’s tango) and they will become part of this legendary level. It’s a great year in season 17
Jay and Alionas jive was superb, so was Jill and Darren's it was the dance that got me hooked, but I must admit Louis and Flavia's showcase dance blew me away, Danny Mac and Oti was fantastic, but I thought Louis and Flavia deserved their win, I miss Flavia she's a brilliant dancer
love the music, katya, Nigel and Katya ❤
Tom and Camillas showdance has always been my favourite to watch
Chris hollins Charleston is an absolute insult to have on this list, especially as Ashley Faye and Georgia didn’t make it.
Meg Morrell, I have to agree with you there. Ashley, Faye, and Georgia are defo more deserving than Chris Hollins.
Oti is the samba queen❤️❤️❤️👏
Imo Harry Judd was the best stricly dancer and the quickstep is the best dance on the show.
Oti n Danny mac looked so cute x
Danny Jay and Lois the top three and in no particular order. They are the ones I remember and think are the best .
Okay but Ed Balls and Katya's ganagam style has to be number one
Jay and Aliona didn't dance their jive in the finals. They dance a quickstep, a Paso and their show dance. Please fact check
Alexandra and Gorka Paso 🔥
Natalie and Scott's tango. Janette and Jake's salsa are two I always remember.
Ashley Roberts and Pasha Kovalev - Witch Doctor is number 1 for me.
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO!!! AT LAST!!
