Alex and Kevin dance a Street/Commercial to Ghostbusters - Halloween | BBC Strictly 2019

[@jakebowler9763]

I think this highlights just how good professional dancers are. To learn an unfamiliar style of dance and a brand new routine in 45 mins is simply incredible.

[@user-cl8xh6bc9y]

Agreed. Well done Kevin :)

[@bessieburnet9816]

It's why he won last year! He's just so skilled!

[@Rhianalanthula]

@David Smith We won't know if people were asked specifically or if they asked for volunteers. I'm also assuming they needed the closest to Neil's size for the costume.

[@katiekay6317]

Neil and Alex specifically asked for Kevin, Neil and Kevin have been friends for 25 years so it makes sense.

[@jakebowler9763]

@@katiekay6317 Also Kevin did a street routine with Stacey last year so at least he has some experience of the style. Gorka hasn't done a street dance on strictly before.

[@RM-rc1tf]

Can we just for a moment appreciate the professionalism of Kevin? We know he is a fantastic dancer but to come in, dance with Alex and compliment her as he did is brilliant.

[@bridiehodgson9449]

My heart broke for Kevin when he forgot the dance in the middle of the routine and started doing his own thing bless him 😢😢 I love Kev

[@beccapags2953]

I cannot believe how cruel social media is to Kevin. I don't understand why people judge him so harsh. His personal life is none of our business, he seems genuinely happy, so why don't they leave him alone but the negative press might ruin this for him or his career.

That must have been terrifying knowing you don't have any guidance from the pro, when you have to be the pro and carry the dance! I think they did great despite Kevin having such a short amount of time to learn it!

[@Tan87ful]

I’m a US citizen so I can’t watch the show live. What happened to Neil and why Kevin had to step in with only 45 mins to learn this dance

[@BradleyS95]

@@Tan87ful Neil injured himself during rehearsals before the show. They both would of had to pull out but Kevin stepped in as a replacement and only had 45 minutes to learn the routine from Alex. I don't think a situation like this has happened before where the "celebrity" has had to be the "professional" in the dance. Roles reversed. I recorded more footage and the judges feedback here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gmnbqYKoip6fbsU

She was offered a bye for that week, but choose to perform. That says a lot

[@Mbeepyd]

Can't imagine going up there and dancing without the person usually there to help you and rely on! And on top of that someone else is looking to you for guidance. I've really liked watching Alex the last couple of weeks.

[@Tan87ful]

Exactly

[@evieallsop5110]

Kev saying “I’m so sorry” at the end 🥺🥺🥺

[@rossmh1495]

Despite not being one of Alex’s fans before strictly tonight I was so proud of her. She was the professional in the dance, I can’t help but think had she been dancing with Neil this would’ve been even better just based on the fact I think she felt a little flustered by the whole situation. I love her in more commercial dances (Charleston and street) they seem to really suit her personality let’s hope next week once Neil is back she continues on this upward streak. 8/10

[@Tan87ful]

Agreed

[@kate7414]

Aw bless them...Kevin saying "I'm so sorry" at the end :( No Kevin you are so amazing to step in for Neil and learn this dance you are completley unfamiliar with and in only 45 minutes!!! Just goes to show how amazing the pros are...I really enjoyed this and huge props to Alex it must have been hard not having Neil there and still deliver an amazing routine...I would have been bricking it so they both should be proud of themselves and Alex really deserves to get through cause she is really improving as well and hopefully Neil will have a speedy recovery so they can be back dancing together cause although this was great I can only imagine it being even better with Neil cause they have such great chemistry

To jump in at such a short notice, get only 45 minutes of practice and then get quite a hefty score! What a skilled pro! I'm so proud of them both! Neil must be so proud, to raise Alex as a dancer, when she was almost a complete beginner, for her to then have to teach Kevin the routine in barely an hour! Just goes to show her individual skill!

I am so so so so so proud of Alex and she deserved at least one 10. As I guarantee you if Neil was here, she would have killed it ten times harder.

Well deserved those scores! Such a shame Neil was injured otherwise this would have been her best dance yet! Honestly, she did SO GOOD considering she had to teach Kevin the routine last- minute, as he said, she carried the whole thing. For a non - dancer to not only get her moves right and perform and then to look after the professional is amazing. She's kind of lucky in a sense, because if Neil was injured any other week, bar maybe her Charleston, I think she would have had a LOT of difficulty teaching Kevin the moves and it would've totally bombed, but because street suits her, she managed it and did incredible. And bless Kevin, he's such a pro for managing to pull that off in 45 minutes!

[@heidiblades4811]

I read that Alex had to teach Kevin the dance in only 45 minutes before the show started. Kevin did mess up some of the arm choreography but he improvised well and I love his moonwalk. 😂😂😂 Idk how the rules go but I’m glad Kevin was a good sport to step in at literally near the last minutes for his friend Neil, who injured himself, and for Alex.

[@anonymouspeacefulperson6199]

Wow 😲 George Michael steps in at the last minute! Well done George Dawn Stacey! Absolutely brilliant how you learned the steps of the choreography in such a small amount of time!!!! The sign of a true professional! I remember Georgia May Foote doing this dance with Giovanni a few years ago! Loved the film, the concept of ghost busting and giving up university to become a psychic medium after years of studying the subject matter and attaining qualifications in the subject matter. Just a shame some people were disliked for being a victim of abuse in Vienna and supposedly associated with violence and crimes when it just wasn’t true so that the business didn’t work! I thought Alex did really well holding the fort whilst Neil was away with an injury! 👏🏻

[@bridiehodgson9449]

Could not have been a worse number for Kevin to have to learn in 45 minutes if it was say a waltz he would know the dance but learning an unfamiliar style of dance in 40 minutes and pulling it off shows how incredible the pros are. Same goes for Alex to have to teach it in 40 minutes ! I do feel though she would have performed better and got all 9s maybe better if she had Neil or even if Kev knew the dance properly hyping her up to go for it more. I was amazed by her showmanship ! Brilliant

[@tammymeads5486]

[@SiasCreations]

This may not have been the most technically perfect dance, but quite honestly it was my favourite of the night. Alex did SO well to keep her cool, she taught Kevin something she'd spent 4 days learning so quickly, a couples' choice with no familiar elements for him to grip onto, and I've actually gained a lot of respect for Kevin for stepping in and doing so well. I'm sure this would've been a near-perfect performance with Neil, after that Charleston last week they'd really seemed to have found a groove and it could take them far in the competition. Also to those asking why Graziano or Gorka didn't step in, maybe they declined because they didn't think they'd be able to do the performance justice in such a short amount of time?

This wasn't Chris' Night for sure. His routine looked awkward and there visable mistakes. Mike Did do pretty well and the I kinda liked the modern twist to his tango. However, In thid stage of the competition, he is at the bottom on technique for me out of all the Celebrities. After Tonight's Result show, Mike and Catherine were In the Dance Off. Mike Got 2 Votes and Catherine Got 2 votes, which meant Shirley had the casting vote and choose Mike. Which Meant Catherine & Johannes Were the Fifth couple to leave the Show. I Would've saved Catherine. This definetely wasn't Catherine's Best Dance and She actually made mistakes in her dance of. HOWEVER she had so much Potential and Choosing Mike was like choosing Dad dancing over Huge potential. Just like Dev. Cha cha cha wasn't Dev's dance. And Cha cha Cha wasn't Catherine's Dance. It was just unfortunate.
