Since I once saw these two dancing, noone else had a chance. They are the best.

[@Funkytrip73]

Haha yes, I saw some show where a dozen couples showed some moves after each other and these 2 were miles ahead, so then I looked up their names and wouldn't you know, they actually are known as the best :D

[@larspardo4309]

most people as they get older slow down...it seems I've been watching these guys for 12 +yrs & they just seem to be getting better & better...delightful to watch Thanks...

[@robinbarwick8473]

As the saying goes...You don't stop dancing because you get too old - you get too old if you stop dancing!

[@user-hq8uo6sd7b]

Точно!

[@user-fo5pd5ul3f]

Bianca & Nils, The best in the business! True talent and poise! Cheers to them!

[@kbs8597]

My favorite dance couple of all time! They make me smile!

[@lindsaysega3289]

I love how they have so much variety in one dance. Can't believe how they step it up at every comp. They show up to win!

[@kathyporfiriomartins9396]

Brilliant dancing. They deserve the biggest medal in the world.

[@mostguitarswins]

Wowza! Just when you think it can't get better, it does! 👏👏👏👏

[@sandydimascio6884]

Beautiful. What a wonderful presentation. I am exhausted watching their presentation. What stamina.

[@txann9273]

New clothes! New routine! Absolutely delightful!❤

[@joanjust8241]

They practice so much they make it appear so relaxed, fun and fluid. Just spot on.

[@loraineriddell7157]

OMG! That routine is Oscar worthy 👌👌👌👌.

[@ktkat1949]

I have followed this couple for about five years and they just keep getting better and better. Congratulations on their win!

[@anthonypilla9811]

[@helenbailey2838]

Your performances ALWAYS bring me joy. Congratulations!!

[@erlindabarnachea1346]

I love their dance chemistry

[@nomad-funk]

I think it is hard to appreciate chemistry in what is undoubtedly a flawless choreographed routine - chemistry for me lies in a spontaneous and natural interaction - but they surely share a wonderful connection to the music and are fantastically coordinated. Inspiring but also makes me think how far there is to go!

[@gabygaedecke2411]

Inventive. Athletic. Charming. In-sync. TheBest🎉😂❤

[@evelynelebozec2549]

Incredibly beautiful, talented and professional dancing couple. One of the best if not the best. They show distinct personality in every dance and are a pleasure to watch.

[@anstef1485]

I really love their dance moves but also the general finesse in the details (such as the exit lock step together), and the costumes they wear which are on point in all videos I have seen of them.
